Merry Christmas

from our family to yours!

Happy Birthday Jesus!  We're so glad you came to save us!!!

Isaiah 9:2

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.

9 months meant the worst photo shoot yet

Oh and I'm a month behind :P

Sometimes you take what you can get in terms of pictures. 9 months marked Zoe starting to cruise, being completely off baby food, and using mama and dada pretty regularly, although not correctly..

It's been a while

So since our move, I haven't been able to post very often because our desktop wasn't hooked up to the internet and my father-in-law's desktop is FAR too slow.  Since moving in we've conquered quite a few projects.  We painted three rooms, my father-in-law and uncle were wonderful and put in laminate flooring for us (after the carpets wouldn't come clean no matter how hard I tried).  And we are still in the process of moving in.  Waiting for one more closet to be finished and hopefully that'll be done soon.

I have been trying to work on some Christmas gifts and have quite a few done but still have more to go.  Where does the time go?

And Zoe OH MY! She is getting so big.  I just love her to pieces.  She is now cruising along using furniture.  She is also SUPER fast at crawling.  Her favorite targets seem to be the downstairs bathroom and the cat food.  Yup constantly pulling her out of the cat food bowl. She still puts nearly EVERYTHING in her mouth.  I try to sweep the kitchen floor at least once a day.

Here are some of her 8 month pictures.

This is what happens when someone wants the camera herself.
