A pretty cute picture!

Christmas this year has been pretty crazy. We started celebrating Christmas with family on Dec 19th and wont be done until January 17th (Ian will be home from Afghanistan, Yahoo!!)! Brady is going to think this Christmas thing is great! :) Wow...having Christmas with a child is just amazing. It changes how you see things and how important the "stuff" really is. I have been going to school for my Real Estate Appraisal License and just need to take the state test, so during the time off, I have been staying home with Brady which is truly amazing to see him change and grow stronger everyday. He is going to be such a good older brother. We will say where is the baby, and he will point to mommies stomach, and we say love the baby, and he will touch my belly and smile. He is such a joy and a crazy boy! SUCH A BOY. He loves to play catch and building things but loves to knock them down also. He shows us how great of a life we have.

We wish everyone a great 2009!
