A Very Merry Christmas


Wow. What a year this has been!  It has been so very hard and so very wonderful.  This year's highlights include:

Michael turning 3
Michael getting potty trained
Matt finishing law school
Matt looking for a job
Jennie giving birth
Adelaide being born (three weeks prior to)
Matt taking (and passing) the Bar
Adelaide being extremely dairy-intolerant (and very cranky until)

Jennie learns to live without dairy
Matt finding the perfect job at Clearman Prebeg, LLC
Sarah turning 2
Jennie house hunting (with Michael, Sarah and Adelaide all in tow)
The whole family moving
Buying our first washing machine (Oh, happy day!!!) and first lawn mower
Kids loving the novelty of having a backyard (with their own dirt pile! . . .Thank goodness for the washing machine!)
Jennie putting up Christmas lights for the first time
Having Christmas in our own home for the first time

Having wonderful Family and Friends who love and support us continually, and whom we love so dearly!!!

Our lives are overflowing with blessings great and small. The Lord has led us down a rocky path these last few years, but we are finally beginning to see the blessings of taking the road less traveled.  But one of the greatest blessings remains constant --the love we feel from each of you.  We love you all, think of you often, and pray for your welfare and happiness.

Have a blessed and happy Christmas!

Love,
Matt, Jennie,
Michael, Sarah & Adelaide
