New Year update

Here's what we've done and been doing:

We had such a fun Christmas.  We some how managed to not take a single picture ourselves.  Its not that we don't care its just that we're more likely to be involved in the moment the concerned about preserving it.  We will be getting plenty from other family members though so maybe that post will be coming soon.   

It was so so good to see all the family and to finally meet both the new nieces.  Lillian and Liza are the most delightful babies I've ever met and I cannot wait to

 see them again (plus my equally delightful nephews, Silas and Micah!).

Heath and I and Anabelle played a lot Wii Mario Cart over Christmas with my sisters.  It was great.  We would also like to thank every one who have us dish towels for Christmas.  With 12 new towels in the drawer we are hopeful that 2009 will be drought free year.

Anabelle started back to school on Monday.  It was really difficult getting out of bed this week but I'm glad to be back in the routine and I'm looking forward to starting back myself next week.  Anabelle just does so great in school.  She writes sentences and spells really well and is even reading some.  She is amazing and contemplative and sensitive.  She is growing up so quick, it is really hard for me think just a few months down the road she will 6 years old. 

Ava is doing good too, she is very imaginative and funny and I'm just never sure what she's going to say.  She has a developed a very sassy little attitude that I sometimes really enjoy because she so independent and confident and sometimes I really just want to squash because she is so independent and confident- even when she's wrong.

Heath is beginning the last half of the internship before official graduation in May.  He is doing really well at the churches and still really loves preaching and teaching.  I think he's really talented and I'm glad I go to his church ;)

I'm back to class on Tuesday, taking Art History, Computer applications in art and Freshman Comp. 2. For those of you that are counting you're right I'm not a freshmen- I'm a Junior.  I'm not sure how I managed to make it through  8 semesters of college with out taking this usually second semester course (for those of you who are counting, yeah, most people graduate after 8 semesters...)  I'm looking forward to this semester and much more confident now that we've made it through the first one and we're all still well.  Supper is my biggest challenge so if you have suggestions of things I can cook in my crock pot while I'm gone all day I'd love it.  My only resolution for 2009 is to do my resolutions for 2008 and 2007 so I'm pretty sure this is my year :)  I really hope we see you soon.
