Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's etc....

I have had all intentions in updating my Blog over the past month and a half. Our lives have been so crazy and I have not had the time to just sit down and write what has been going on but I'm going to try and be better at updating so everyone knows what is going on here.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was wonderful being with family and friends and just hanging out enjoying life. We were so blessed to have Calli Ann this Christmas. Honestly, she was the best gift I could have asked for this year and we had so much fun with her for her first Christmas.

We had a wonderful New Year's hanging out with friends at the lake. It was so nice to just get away and relax. Aaron and I are so thankful for this past year. God has truly blessed us in many ways. We pray that this upcoming year is a blessing to you all. Thank you all for blessing our lives.

I cannot believe that Calli Ann is 3 months already. I go back to work in one week and that is going to be really tough leaving her. We have this precious lady who is going to keep her at her house and she will just be keeping Calli Ann. I am so thankful that she is willing to do this for us. Especially during this time of year where everyone is sick. Calli Ann had her first cold last week and it was so sad seeing her sick but I know it will not be the last unfortunately. I am currently looking for a new job and praying that God will open any doors for us and close the ones that need to be closed. So I'll try and keep you posted on the hunt.

Yesterday, my little niece, Mary Avnor turned 5 years old. She had a Princess, Prince party. It was suppose to be outside but with the 40 degree weather we had to move it inside. It was crazy having 30 children running around her house. It turned out to be a success and at least we know Mary Avnor had fun! It is SO hard to believe that just 5 years ago she entered this world. I knew that day I would never be the same. I love my nieces like they are my own and they have brought so much joy to our lives.

Anyways, this is just a small glimpse of what has been going on here in Auburn. Hopefully, I'll be better at keeping everyone updated on our lives. Hope everyone is having a great 2008 so far.
