The blog silence is over :)

So it has been awhile since our last post. I do have one good excuse at least though, that being of a new little babe in my belly that has sucked all energy and motivation out of my already tired body. This new miracle will be joining our family late July and we are very excited and thankful. I am 11 weeks along so almost out of my first trimester and praying that some of the fun first trimester feelings will soon be gone. I can say I was very thankful for them this time, knowing that at least everything was ok. For those of you who don't know, I had a miscarriage last July when I was around 6 weeks along. It was very hard to lose that baby that we already loved so much. God has been ever faithful in giving us peace in that loss and in allowing us to become pregnant again. We would appreciate your prayers as this baby continues to develop and grow.

I'm sorry that we never got out change of address cards when we moved. I made announcements with a picture of the kids with our new address and news of that baby, but sadly they weren't able to be mailed, so some of you will receive them now with your belated Christmas/ New Years card. I couldn't throw them away, so now that all information is true again, I decided to include them and you can feel free to send any leftover cards iour way now!Along with this post I'll put an update of each of us that Matt wrote one night when I was lying on the couch wishing I had the energy to do it. I did add a little about him at the end. He's such an amazing part of our family and is way more than just an involved dad. I don't know what we would do without him!


We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families and were able to remember and be thankful for that "not so silent night" when our Savior was born so many years ago.
