Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year Everyone!

This year started out great celebrating with Libby being home, it was the best New Year ever. Finally I feel that our family is complete. I give God all the Glory for this. He is an awesome God!

The bad news is we all have to go back to school tommorow and Libby goes to Mudders. We are so out of our routine staying up late and getting up late, it will indeed be a challenge to get everyone up and out the door by 7 pm.

Libby is really progressing. She is adding new words to her vocabulary daily.We also started her sleeping in her own bed. Which she is doing really well with. She had been sleeping with Mark and I as she would scream if you put her in her crib. We made it into a day bed that is about an inch or two away from the floor, if she rolls out, it won't hurt. I have been sleeping in her twin bed in her room and when she wakes up, I tell her Mama is right here and she goes right back to sleep.

Mark, Jamison and Addison have been working on their Derby Cars for the Pinewood Derby. They are working on mine and Libby's as we are not very mechanically inclined. We will only paint ours and make them beautiful. We are hoping that our car will win the family race.

I wish you all a Wonderful year, full of love. I also will be praying for the families who are still waiting for their children to come home.

Love, Anna

Libby,Jamison, and Bailey

Family Time

I can hardly wait for our vacation to begin! After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I am just ready to spend time in the mountains with the kids and Mark. We are leaving Monday and not coming home until Friday or Saturday. Our time will be spend doing things together. The kids favorite thing to do at night is pop popcorn and play board games. I feel so blessed that God has given me the terrific family that I have.

Hope you are enjoying your holidays with your family.

Love, Anna
