Christmas Re-Cap


There were gifts under the tree on Christmas morning :)  Our kids did stockings, then we had breakfast and read through the last day of our Advent devotional, then we did the rest of our gifts.







We changed out of Christmas pjs and went to my mom's for Christmas lunch and presents with my family. Connor gets the award for best reactions I think! :)




We relaxed on the 26th at home (had my sister and her family for lunch) and then headed to Kevin's dad's house for the weekend. We opened gifts on Thursday night with Mark and JungMin







On Friday we saw Kevin's mom, who has moved to a nursing home. The kids like going there to visit and we got to sing and walk around with her. It was a good visit.

Saturday evening the Tipton's came over and gave gifts - Kevin declared his the "best gift" ….and had used it a lot already ;)


Sunday after church we left for home. And friends who were also driving home stopped at our place to break up their drive. How wonderful to have friends you've known for a while...and now have kids that are friends with your kids. It was fun to see them and to see our kids having such a good time together.

The Hoffmans came down for New Years Eve. Bill treated us to homemade donuts in the morning and the guys compared beards ;)  (Kevin grew this goatee over break, Bill's beard is a regular thing).


Good thing it was only a 3-day school week, because we had a busy break! Last weekend we started with Bible Study on Friday, relaxing Saturday, and got to watch Mary Poppins Returns after church! :)  I loved the movie and Kevin loved that his football team won their game...what an exciting Sunday.

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
