Updates

A couple of updates since I haven't posted in a while:

1-I finished my first official quarter back at college. It was great and I am excited to continue on this journey!

2-Some kind of stomach "bug" flew through our entire family smack in the middle of my finals week! Fun!

3-Love getting Christmas wishes and updates from our family and friends!

4-Feeling guilt (me) about not sending out my own Christmas wishes and updates to friends!

5-One month to go on the baby countdown! I can't wait to have my body back to myself! This is the hard part--I am walking slower and a lot more uncomfortable--the good thing is, it makes me more excited for baby to come!

6-My kids enjoyed their first three snow days off from school and now are enjoying a holiday break!

7-The kids made their annual gingerbread houses (in my house gingerbread translates into graham crackers)

8-Cute kids: In nursery at church, Stephan's class talked about the prophet. When Stephan saw President Monson's picture, he said, "He was on my computer!" This was the Sunday after the First Presidency Christmas Devotional--which our family watched on our computer. I thought it was so sweet that he was able to remember that!

9-Oh, yeah. I turned another year older. Thanks to Dana and kids for an awesome ColdStone cake! And thanks to my parents for an awesome time out to lunch! I loved it!

10-This time of year, we are so grateful for family and friends! We hope you all have a great Christmas and holiday season!
