No pictures as of recent, but I thought that I would update dispite my slacking in the photograpy section. Thanks Giving was wonderful. Jason cooked the dinner of course, and my Mom and brother Zach were down for the week. We also had Jason's brother Todd and his two kids Robert and Shania over for dinner. It was a great afternoon.
We attended our ward Christmas party this week. We have a lot of musically talanted people in our ward, and it was nice of them to share our talents with us as we re-visited the birth of our Savior. Jacob was excited to sit on Santa's lap, he always wants to do what the other kids are doing. It surprised me that he wasn't more shy, I guess he takes after his dad.
Things are going well during this holiday season. I am continually reminded each day just how much I have to be greatful for. What a blessing to live on the earth at this time and to be able to have the gospel in our lives and to know the way back to our Heavenly Father's presence.
A little update on the family. Jacob is growing faster than I can keep up with. It seems as though he looks more and more like a little boy each day. He is learning quickly and there are many people who love him in our ward and neighborhood who help him to grow. Jason is working very hard being a full-time dad and appraiser. Appraisals are mostly foreclosures right now, but they are keeping him busy. He is such a good husband and father. He is always looking out for our family's best interest, making sure that Jacob is learning and growing and that he gets the attention that he needs; and that I am getting enough rest each day especially when I work, and that there is dinner on the table before I leave. I am just plugging a long I am working full time in Labor and Delivery at the hospital in Mesquite. It is so nice not to have to drive an hour to work each way. I am doing well with the pregnancy. I really have nothing to complain about, I'm not sick and I feel pretty normal, just an enlarged mid-section. Beyond that there really isn't much to say. Our family is truly blessed, and we are ever greatful for that. Merry Christmas to all, and may your families be blessed this season as well.
