Dec. 30, 2007 - Happy New Year!
It’s the end of 2007. We had a great holiday season and enjoyed the Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities for the first time in this house. Some memories that come to mind over the past months are:
Gabriel got his black belt!
Jessamyn went as a princess to a masquerade dance.
Peace danced in “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”
Other fun things were:
Going to the corn maze
Going to the science museum
Making gingerbread houses and snowflakes and cookies
Having friends over to play games
Watching “Auntie’s” tummies grow with 2 new baby cousins on the way
Jessamyn learning how to drive
Gabriel loving his laptop and computer classes (boy after his dad’s heart!)
Peace’s tea parties
It all just goes by fast. We have lots to be thankful for and fortunately we take a lot of pictures.
After 5 years of working at home, Scott has taken a new job which means he works at an office for the most part. It’s kind of different , but hopefully will end up being everything he hopes it will.
We completed our adoption classes (about 30 hours) and most of our paperwork to get the process started. It will probably be close to summer before we can look at specific children to be matched with.
I am so grateful for our family and friends and blessings as we start a new year. Sometimes I am restless and impatient and expect too much. Like everyone, I want to get more organized and in better shape this new year. But I also want to be still and content and enjoy the processes, not just rush through my days checking things off my list.
