hello.

well, it's STILL winter... it probably just seems longer because of all the snow we've gotten already this year. i think we are only a couple inches away from our average season total... yikes. that's alot of snow!

we've been keeping busy inside, however. Makenna is getting very mobile and is growing up so fast! she turns ONE in a week. WOW. i know, i say it with every kid, but again, where did the time go??? it's been a great year with her, though. what a cutie pie!

school is going well for the girls! they are all doing so well, and we are so proud of them. Brianna can read! i can't believe it. Alex has done lots of fun, creative projects for school already this year, which she really loves to do! Taylor is really getting good at reading and is doing really well with her math. i hardly have to tell her what to do! it just comes naturally to her. :)

keaton is all boy. he is loving his balls, cars, guns, and anything you can hit with any kind of stick. :) he is really enjoying the times he can wrestle and just be a boy with daddy!

we are all doing well here. i am excited to see what God will show us this new year. i am anxious to get into some new books and to read through the New Testament again. we pray for great changes in this year for our family - that we all will be closer to our Savior and more in love with Him!
