Pregnancy Update

I am sure that many of you are wondering about Meleah and the soon arrival of our little boy, and I will admit that an update is shamefully over due.

Meleah has been doing great and having a wonderful pregnancy, having no complications and relatively few complaints.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks to update you on the growth of her belly, as we near the end of this exciting time.

I realize that we have not posted any pictures of Meleah's belly during this pregnancy up until now so we will start with this one, which as at only 13 weeks.

This next picture below is from our time in Africa when Meleah was about 18 weeks.

This one on the right was taken at 22 weeks along. Slowly getting bigger...

This picture is from Christmas Day with Meleah being 31 weeks.

This picture is from two weeks later, a last minute picture in front of the Christmas tree before we said goodbye to Christmas decorations until next year. Meleah is 33 weeks along in this picture and is greatly looking forward to the end.

A White Christmas and a New Year

A late Happy Holidays to all of you!

Life has been very busy since Joseph's arrival home from Africa in the beginning of December. We managed to make our new house a home and decorate for Christmas before the even actually happened, something Meleah was suspicious about happening.

We woke up Christmas morning to a snow storm that piled more snow on us in one storm than I had ever seen in Montrose, it was truly a white Christmas to remember.

Christmas was another wonderful event for us as we spent some time with Meleah's family, it was especially wonderful to be able to spend sometime with Meleah's sister, Melodie and her family who lives in Missouri. Joseph celebrated another year of his birth in tradition of a Christmas breakfast made only once a year by Meleah just for the event of his birthday. This is a picture of him showing off his new Birthday outfit, in front of our beautiful Christmas tree.

It was a great time for us as a family and are thankful for all that God has given us during 2007.

We celebrated New Years by spending time with family, old friends and new ones at our house. It was a small get together but very fun with lots of laughter and games. A wonderful way to spend the last moments of 2007 and an even better way to start out this new year.

We hope and pray that you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you are able to see all of the many blessings that God gave you during this past year and for the new year to come. We pray that you all are able to find joy and hope for the upcoming year as well.
