Christmas Greetings

This week has been an exciting week for us. We are prayerfully awaiting to find out if we will be moving soon (We will find out after December 31). We have also been preparing for Christmas. Elizabeth and I have decided to kick mom out of the kitchen on Monday, and we are going to make the meals. So, we have been busy deciding on a menu.

Andy has been growing steadily. He is now over 10 pounds. I scheduled his surgery this week, and he will be having his surgery on January 15 (as long as he doesn't have a cold or a fever). We have a lot to do before then. I want us to get our family photos done before his surgery because he will most likely have a bright red scar for the next year after his surgery. That, and I have really fallen in love with his lip, and I'm actually going to miss it.

Merry Christmas to you from us.

Lydia enjoys playing with her little brother. So much that in this picture she knocked over the activity gym. He is growing so quickly! He is reaching for his toys and waving his hands to bat them. Last night he was trying to reach for me while he was laying on his daddy's lap. I was excited about that!

Andy has also began to smile. He smiles best for his Aunt Beth (she's the only one who can get him to smile for the camara). We are having so much fun together as a family. Have a Merry Christmas, and

Remember to thank the Lord for the most precious gift of all -- His Son Jesus Christ and the incredible gift of Redemption.
