Here is what is new in our life:
ADAM is taking finals for his second to last semester!!!!!
CATHERINE is loving being mom of her babies, and has fun teaching preschool. Mostly she just loves her family to pieces and she is rediculously excited for Christmas this year.
BRYANT is finally walking (since about the beginning of December). He can't quite stand up by himself so he still crawls about half the time. But he sure loves to walk and gets super excited when he is walking. He jabbers constantly. He jabber talks to us as if we understood him completely. It is hilarious but we try not to laugh too much because he is pretty sensitive to being laughed at. He LOVES to talk on the phone- and turns EVERYTHING into a phone- including his cup of milk this morning :) He has a vocabulary of about 20 words if you know what to listen for. Actually, I know that some sounds he says over and over mean something, I just havent translated them yet. He is SO sweet and I love him to pieces.
CAITLYN has been walking for a couple months now. She is also a TALKER and her vocabulary has EXPLODED the last couple weeks to a month may be. We have counted at least 55 words, but she says new ones every day so by the time I have them recorded the list is already out dated. She sings ee-i-ee-i-o all day long over and over. It sounds more like ya-ya-yo but it is really cute. She also loves to say quack quack. She is a sweetheart.
If I were to write the song "My Favorite Things" it would have to include:
Hearing my kids say "Daddy!" (Caitlyn) and "Dada!" (Bryant)
Hearing my kids laugh, giggle and squeal with delight as they play with Daddy.
Hearing them call "Mommy/mama"
Playing, laughing and giggling with them myself.
Watching the kids play together.
Watching the kids comfort and or cheer each other up when the other one is sad.
Kissing Adam when he comes home
Kissing Adam anytime :)

I am so blessed to have such a great little family. I love them more and more each day. I am so blessed that my parents and siblings are willing to share their home with us. I am so blessed that Adam's family is so close and so wonderful. No matter what comes our way, I know that life will only continue to be more and more wonderful because the love we have for our family continues to increase and really that is all that matters to me :)
Merry Christmas
