So my boys are growing up so fast. Jarrell has started laughing, baby laughs are sooo cute. He cries when ever I put him down or if I leave him alone where he can't see me. He's got the same gray/blue eyes that Odin does and is losing all his hair, ha.


Odin has started talking, he says baw(ball), dis(this) when he want to know what something is, and the sounds of the letters a b c. Odin loves doing his flash cards, and putting things into holes, no pun intended. His new favorite toy is a potato head and veggie friends set. He likes going to the park and I sometimes let him walk part of the way. it's so cute to watch him as he gets distracted easily, watching bugs, playing in the leaves, or running up and down a hill.



This Christmas was a sad one for us as Sam's mother, Kim, passed away Christmas Day. She was fighting cancer and the Lord took her home to her heavenly reward where she won't suffer any more. Please pray for her family durring this difficult time.

Merry Christmas

Judah

Today is Judah Redleins birthday, I never got to meet him, but I wish I had. I'm part of his family now, and the more I hear stories of him the more I wish I had been able to know him. Being the timid soul I am I would probably be afraid he wouldn't like me and be too nervous to meet him, and then Jaydee would tell me to to stop being silly and proudly present me to his dad.
I was reading a Christmas Story today about being thankful during Christmas, it was written by someone who lost a lot and how they were feeling that loss during Christmas, just like Judah's family did five years ago. But it's about more then that its about how they not only let it make them stronger, but they learned to thank God for the tragedy, just like Judah's family has. It got me thinking about how much I have and how thankful I should be. I am ashamed to admit that lately I have been feeling sorry for myself when I really have no reason to be. My Christmas truly is Merry and a large part of that happiness is thanks to Judah when so long ago he met and married a single mom with 7 kids and took them on as his own. When he loved and cared for a young, rebellious 8 year old boy and took care of him the best he knew how. That boy is now my husband and he is the man he is today because of Judah. SO thank you Judah, and Happy Birthday.

Christmas is here

So the holiday season is here, Thanksgivings has come and gone and now it's Christmas. This Christmas is particularly significant for me because it's my first Christmas away from my family. It was hard at first but I've passed the difficult readjusting stage. I still really miss my family, but I'm happy for the change and I'm sure they are having a wonderful Christmas. Things have been rough and we will have a scanty Christmas this year, but I'm so thankful because I know the Lord is doing it because he wants us to grow in faith. I know that he won't fail us and I'm looking forward to all that he will do for us when he knows we need it. I'm glad that we won't have much this Christmas because it has shown me that you don't need much to still have a wonderful Christmas.

Some of the things I'm thankful for this year are my wonderful family. This is my second Christmas with a family of my own, it's a wonderful feeling and one that I wouldn't trade for anything. I'm also thankful for Sam and Steph and the patience they've had with us, thanks so much guys we are so very grateful. Then of course there is my wonderful husband he's been so understanding and helpful to me in all of this. So Merry Christmas to one and all, I love and am praying for you.
