Merry Christmas!!!
Well where has the time gone again?!?!?! I looked at the calender and low and behold it
is DECEMBER!!! We have had a VERY busy year to say the least!! But when is it not??
We have been busy with a few things that I would like to touch on :

1.)We have been doing alot of stuff on the house (Of course!!) that never seems to be
boring. We put a new driveway in this summer, did some landscaping and more recently got
the garage heated!! We have some addition plans that we have been sitting on that we will
hopefully be able to take advantage of in the near future (I quit setting dates for when
we will start it because it seems that those dates always come and go, so, no dates, no
disappointments!!! )

2.) We are EXPECTING again (probably for the last time!)!! I only have 54 days left at the time of this letter!!! Feb.16th I am scheduled for a C-Section, if I make it that long!! So that will be another change for us, as both of our boys have been in the summer and this one will be
smack dab in the middle of the winter!!! We do not know what we are having as we chose to
keep it a surprise, so we are all getting very anxious to meet the new bundle :)
Both of the boys are very excited about the new baby as are Nate and I!!! :)

3.) Gavin started Kindergarten this fall!! Kenyon-Wanamingo has All Day/Every Day
Kindergarten, so my 5 year old has now started his full time school career already!! He loves it
and is excelling!! At his conferences his teacher said that he is one of the top readers in his
class and also LOVES math!! He is really coming out of his shell, which I am glad about because I was worried about how shy he seemed around people he didn't know. But he is doing great in
that department also!!! He has also picked up a LOVE for WWE wrestling which is SOOOOO funny to see!!! Cracks us up!!! He has to watch it every Monday night (also Fri night but that is Smackdown not Raw:))

4.) Reed is in the process of Potty Training , which is going.........Well as good as it can go I
guess!!! It is the one thing about parenting so far that I wish that I could send them away for!!! He is really doing very well for only being 2 1/2 years old, I cant (Or shouldn't)complain!! He has the BIGGEST imagination that I have every seen! He can pretend about anything, anytime anywhere. He is our little entertainer for sure! Reed is very excited to be Mommy's big helper
with this new baby, He practices all the time with anything that he can find that resembles a baby :)He has a great big heart and loves to "Make Mommy Happy"!!! (His own words!!)

All in all it has been a GREAT year for the whole family and I hope it has been and will be for
yours too!!! :) Till next year Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!!

( I cant figure out why this is posting so weird with all the sentence breaks and stuff?? Very frustrating!!!)
