2009 has been a busy one for our family. It seems like 2010 is going to be much the same. Shane's work schedule is monstrous, but it is a treat whenever we get to see him. He works very hard to support our little family and is a wonderful father and husband. Together, we are working on a exciting new project for next year. When we get closer to having it completed, I will let you know what it is. No, it is not another baby. :)
Lydia is in pre-school and loving it. She is a phenomenal drama queen and is often "in character" and wanting others to play along. She loves her baby brother and is very sweet with him. I am really loving the 3 1/2 year age difference. I had no idea what a help Lydia would be.
Collin is the most adorable creature imaginable and his happy spirit is a tremendous blessing in our home. We call him Chub-o most of the time. He is such a chuck. I love it! I could kiss those cheeks all day long. He is sleeping a little better lately, and I have high hopes that he will be sleeping through the night in the next month or so.
As for me, I am busy with this incredible calling of motherhood. It isn't the most glamorous of professions, but it is the most rewarding. Some days I'm not sure I am going to be able to hold it all together, but I pray to remember the precious gift it is to have a family and it gets me through.
We are so grateful to our friends and family at this time of year. Even if I haven't met you, your comments make me feel like we are friends. I am especially grateful during this loveliest of seasons for my Savior, Jesus Christ and the countless blessings He has alloted me.
Love to you all, and wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
