We have had a wonderful Christmas season! We - especially me - enjoyed tons of snow! The picture of our deck was taken the Friday before Christmas by Christmas Eve the snow was up to bottom rail!
Christmas Eve service at our church was incredible. Jared spent the night at our house on Christmas Eve and Joe and I had to wake the boys up at 7:30 Christmas morning to open presents!Joe's brother's family came over for Christmas dinner. We all had a wonderful meal and great day just hanging out and playing games.
On December 28, 2008, Joe was baptized at Immanuel Lutheran! It was a great baptism officiated by Pastor Otto - the same pastor that baptized Erik and Ethan and also officiated Ethan's funeral. It was a great day! Joe's sponsors held a brunch at their house in Joe's honor. We all had a wonderful time!
New Year's Eve was spent at my brother's house with friends and family. Lots of food, Rock Band, and we didn't leave until 2 AM!! It's been a long time since we stayed up so late! Jared and Erik spent New Year's in Harbor Springs with friends so for the first time in a long time, Joe and I have the house completely to ourselves for a few days! Empty nesting preview...we're already thinking what in the world do we do before we had kids?! And what do we do now?
So here we are in 2009...I don't think much will change in our day to day lives - besides having no clinic visits, mri's, etc. We will still continue to thank God everyday for all that we have. We look forward to what God has in store for us and wish peace and blessings on all of you.
