We have a lot to be thankful for!

Just wanted to put up a quick post. We got back from South Dakota this last week. We drove the 12 hours home. The drive up there was stressful to say the least. The roads from Rock Springs on were so covered in snow that we couldn't see the road. Then from Rawlins north the roads were iced over. We finally decided to stop in a small town called Kaycee for the night. Emma was a little confused as to why we were stopping at some random place for the night. We finally made it to Grandmas. We enjoyed a whole week of family visits and there were two weddings and a large party to celebrate.

Emmalyn turned FOUR on Dec. 4th. We decided to have three small birthday parties and presents instead of one large birthday. She was very excited to have all the gifts and cake all the time. Its hard sometimes cause her birthday is so close to Christmas.

Lance is doing great! He is walking all around our furniture and with his little push cart but has yet to take a step on his own. He eats like his sister and is non stop moving. He was 20 lbs and 27 inches long at his 9 month check up. He has started talking quite a bit and says mama, emma, uh oh, and almost dada. He gives kisses and shakes his head for 'no'. He really is a blessing and a balance to our family!

Brad has some really good news! He got a new job! Its still on Hill AFB but is with a different contracting company. He is doing a little bit of different stuff- more challenging stuff- and had a good pay increase!! He starts on the 12th of this month and is a little nervous. He will be so good though!

Our family is doing so well! None of us has been very sick or had any major incidents recently. We are just very blessed this Christmas season! Merry Christmas to All!!
