Merry Christmas!
Throughout the many changes, God has been good. Alyssa had a fairly healthy pregnancy – minus the extreme morning sickness that lasted well into her second trimester – and enjoyed numerous long walks with spoiled little Selah (our 1 year old Bichon Frise). Steve switched offices in July, moving into his position on the C-5, the largest cargo plane in the Air Force. He’s still learning the ins-and-outs of the new program and is enjoying the change of pace from training aircraft.
It’s hard to look back at 2007 and not think, “Wow!” Especially, when it comes to our new role as parents. We’ve seen Reid through those early infant days, learning how to bathe, swaddle, and decipher the difference between his many cries to his well-adjusted sleep/eat patterns and those melt-your-heart smiles. At three months, he’s still a light eater but has such sunny disposition. He’s found his hands, which are never too far from his face, and tracks well with his eyes, especially when Daddy’s making those funny faces! Selah has adjusted to the lil’ guy, too, although she sneaks the occasional lick when she thinks we’re not watching. On November 25th, we had the privilege of dedicating him to the Lord during the morning church service. It will be so special to watch him grow and develop over the months/years ahead.
The year ended with the opportunity to introduce Reid to his aunts, uncles and cousins at Thanksgiving. He looks forward to meeting Uncle Riley when he returns from his mission trip to Iraq next August.
We want to close by
wishing you a Merry Christmas and God’s richest blessings in 2008. |
