Happy New Year!!!


Well, it's already 2009...I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years and that this year is off to a great start for all of you. We are doing great over here. We didn't do much for New Years here. We had a watchnight service at church on New Year's Eve and then Jeremy went to an all night youth activity. I came back home with the kids after the service ended a little after midnight. New Years Day, we just relaxed and stayed around the house and got together with Jeremy's parents in the evening. We had a great youth service tonight at "the edge" and are excited for all that God's going to do this year. It is such a blessing to see so many youth serving God and desiring to do more for Him. We are so privaleged to be able to work with them and inspire them to do more. God's so good!!!

Caleb is getting bigger and bigger and saying the funniest things. I'm not sure where he gets it all, but he puts things together very well and then randomly it comes out in conversations. The other day Jeremy was getting ready in our room in the morning and Caleb was playing with his new remote control car. He had a great idea that he wanted to make the car go under our bed and then out the other side. So he asked Jeremy if he could do that. Jeremy told him no, cause he didn't want the car to get stuck under the bed. Then Caleb says, "Daddy, just trust me!!!!" So, Jeremy was kinda stuck and said he could do it, that he trusted him...=) We just thought that was so hilarious!!!! He's a very good kid and is very smart. He's always got a plan for everything. =) His latest thing is that he loves transformers...so the poses you see below, are of him being a transformer... =)




Megan is 2 months old today...time is just flying by. She's really growing now as well. She's fitting into more of her 0-3 month clothing, so that's nice...they're not swimming on her anymore which is really nice!!! I've been dying to put her into her cute jeans and tops and everything. She's finally grown into another pair of her jeans so I am happy. =) I'm having fun dressing her up. She's just too adorable, if I may say so myself. =) She's smiling so much now, especially when you get close in her face. She just smiles so big...I think she'll be laughing soon!!! She's also sleeping through the night already!!! She started at about 6 weeks and now she's sleeping for about 10 hours at night. It's such a blessing!!!!! God's so good to me!!!



Jeremy is doing well too. December was a busy month for him especially. It all started with him speaking at a youth camp for another local church here in Singapore. Then the following week we had our youth camp, up in Malaysia. The week after ours he was the speaker at another youth camp, also in Malaysia. The day after he came back from that he went straight into an encounter retreat here for some of our youth. It's sort of an inner healing kind of retreat, 2 day thing. So, there was a lot of teaching and praying involved in that. Then a couple days after Christmas he went back into Malaysia for one of our churches to speak for a youth outreach. So, as you can see, it's been one busy month!!!!!

I've been trying to keep the fort down here at home. =) So far, it's going alright. Still getting used to having 2 kids and finding time to get away for a shower!!!! =) Even the simplest things are complicated now. Anyway, things are going well though and we're doing well. I love having 2 kids and Caleb is a big help with Megan. He loves doing things for her and he's very good at doing things for himself as well. I'm so thankful for both of my kids...they are so good!!!!! And Jeremy's a wonderful husband!!! We've been married now for 7 1/2 years!!! I can't believe it.


Anyway, that's the update on us. I hope you enjoyed the pictures as well...

Hi Charissa!

I got her through your FB account. It was so much fun to catch up with you guys and to see current pictures! Megan is so beautiful and Caleb is sooooo cute - and so blonde! Just like our Noelle. She's our blonde haired, blue-eyed baby. Benjamin is blonde now too, but didn't start out that way. I read how busy Jeremy was in December. How did you survive with two little ones? :) Glad to see you all are doing well!
