Landrum has some news to share

That's right, in September, Landrum will be a big sister!

Straight A Student

Jared's dad made Landrum the most adorable little pink desk for Christmas - it is fantastic! And best of all, she loves it. She loves to sit in the little chair, which is shaped like a teddy bear, and read her books. I am not kidding. Here is the proof:

The Holidays

I love 'the holidays' you know - the two weeks you get of Christmas and then New Years - anyway I guess that is what folks mean by the holidays.. I am sure some people might even lump Thanksgiving in there too.. But I mean I love these last two weeks of the year. This year our Christmas week was sort of hectic. Jared had lots of work to do, Landrum had RSV, I had lots of wrapping etc to do and we just sort of got caught up in it all. Plus now that Jared is on staff at church we have to be at our church for Christmas Eve service so we had to come up with a new family schedule this year. It all worked out and we were able to be with both families on Christmas day. Jared's mom spent all day Christmas Eve in the emergency room with a high fever. She was fortunately able to be home on Christmas day but went right back in the day after Christmas unexpectedly and had to stay in the hospital for a week. So that was no fun! But she is doing well and feeling great. Landrum had a wonderful Christmas and was showered with gifts. She loved playing peekaboo with the tissue paper the most I think! We started on Christmas eve morning with opening her stocking where she got several goodies and it just went on from there. She LOVES her new toys (thank you everyone!).

We really have had a wonderful two weeks filled with family time and worship time and just time to celebrate our Savior and his birth. We are so blessed. We had such a great year last year with so many blessings poured out upon us. The birth of our daughter, Jared's mom being healed of her cancer, new work, new house, new friends and the list continues. Our Father is truely our Jehovah - Jirah, our provider! We look forward to all that 2009 holds!

Here are a few pictures from the holidays:
