Looking forward...

Today we were talking about the many things that we were looking forward to in 2009. Here are a few of my favorites:

• Our second wedding anniversary in January
• The birth of my niece in February--we are super excited!!
• I am looking forward to starting an on-line Beth Moore bible study that Tim bought me for Christmas. (It's too far to go to Orland--so hopefully this will help)
• I am looking into being a Crossroads Bible volunteer and reviewing Bible lessons from people who are incarcerated.
• I am thinking about going to lap time at our local library as a way to get out of the house and connect to other mothers.
• Looking forward to Josiah's 1st birthday in June!!
• I'm sure that there will be many other exciting things that will happen in the coming year!!

Who would have known?

I must be totally inept at blogging

• I always wondered how people did cool stuff like different colors and formatting and now I figured it out
• so this is my experimentation!!

Stellan

Update: Stellan is doing much better--such an answer to prayer!!

Praying for little Stellan and his family!!

Praying

The blogging world connects you with so many people that you would never know about. Somehow I happened to come across a blog for a little guy named Braden who is less than 2 months old who has heart surgery. It just breaks my heart to see babies and young children with serious health issues. We continue to pray for Braden and for so many other people that we know that are struggling medically!

Depressing

I'm so sad that the Chicago Bears season is over already!! I love watching football so much. I wish that they would have played better this year. They have so many areas that need to be addressed but I'm not sure if Lovie will do it or not :(

I'll have to find a new team to root for during the playoffs!!

David & Kelly's Wedding

On Saturday we went to the wedding of Tim's cousin, David & Kelly. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a great time. Josiah came with us to the wedding so that he could be in the family picture (even though he was super crabby for it) and then he went home with my mom so that we could go to the reception. It was fun to be at the reception and enjoy time with Tim's family.

David & Kelly!!

Boss Christmas

After our Christmas we went to church and then headed to my grandparents. We enjoyed opening our stockings/bags. We had a nice lunch and then played some bingo for prizes.
