Wow, it's been a while.

We have been so busy. December went by so quickly! It started with a trip to Lubbock to see my mom at the beginning of the month. From there we went to San Antonio to visit the river walk. Mike's mom met us there and we had a great time. Christmas Eve we went to my dad's. And lastly, Christmas Day we spent in Odessa with my Aunt Barbara. Whew!

Tomorrow we start getting back to our regular schedule. I am actually excited about getting back to school in the morning. The daily grind is so much sweeter after a nice break like that.

The kids are all doing well and Josiah is growing like a little weed. He's strong and alert. He's really very sweet and he just loves his older brothers and sisters. Jacob holds him often and Jenna can get him to laugh easily. Ryan and Rachel just want to kiss his head, but even they are caught singing to him and wanting to hold him at times.

So, after everything starts getting back to normal, we decide that we're going to go to Florida in May. I am excited about going, but wow, is it quite a bit of work and planning. Mike's grandma has a hard time traveling, so we're going to her. She hasn't seen the kids since Jenna was born, and that's too long for any grandma. Mike's mom will be happy to see them again too. One visit at Christmas really isn't enough. We are going to visit Disney while we are there and Mike is going to try and do some repairs at his grandmas house. I'm sure we will be ready for home after this trip too.

I'm still working on getting some updated pictures. I did recently open a Facebook account, so if anyone wants to be my friend, you can check out the pictures I posted there too.
