Christmas 2006

Well we made it into our house by Christmas and everything went great. We are not completely settled in yet, but we are close. Now that Christmas is over we will be able to finish all the little things we need to do. It is so nice being in the house finally.
Christmas went well. Zack got just about every toy that the stores carry. We had to have a little talk with him about not acting spoiled and still being grateful for everything he has. We are making him go through all of his old toys and fill a box that he will donate to children who aren't as privileged as he is. He did not fight us on this. Logan enjoyed his first Christmas (I think). He got lots of toys too. He really needed toys though so it was good. He really stared at some of them, it was cute. I love Christmas, but it sure is crazy busy. The boys and
I went to church on the 24th (see the pic of Zack holding Logan) then Zack went to his Dad's. We did Christmas morning as a family at home then we went to Stephen's parents house for lunner (lunch and dinner combo). We live too far away from any of my family so sadly we didn't get to see any of my relatives, so there were lots of phone calls. We also had to use Christmas as a going away get together for Stephen's sister Melissa. She has taken a job in Denver, CO and left this morning. She didn't have much time from the time the job was offered to when she needs to start so it was pretty sudden. We are sure going to miss her!!!!!!!! We wish her all the best of luck with her move and her new position.

Logan Update:
On the 21st Logan went to the Dr. for his 2 month follow up. He is doing really well. He had to get a shot =( and cried. He is growing like a little weed. He is 10lbs 4oz now. That puts him in the 50th % for his age in weight. He is 24 1/4 " long which also puts him at 50th % for length. When he was born he was only in the 10th % all around, so he is really catching up. He is smiling a lot now when you talk to him. He is also cooing. We are waiting to hear that first little giggle still. He still doesn't have any hair. He is still a bit fussy at times, but we decided to stop the medicine because it didn't make a big enough difference. We watched a video on colic that seemed to give good technique for calming that seems to be working.

We hope you had a great Christmas and that you were as blessed as we were. Enjoy the pictures below!!
