Well, as the Christmas season is upon us there is much to consider. We just enjoyed a great visit with my mom and sister Marianne. We celebrated a small Christmas together taking in the "Living Nativity" production at our church - Ray you looked great singing up there in full costume. We also shared a few gifts and had a great time visiting. Mom sure helped with the Christmas baking as well as a mini Gingerbread village.
We are starting to feel more and more at home here and a huge thanks goes to Ray's family for that. Ray is settling in at work even though there seems to be a great deal of disorganizness within the company as long and there is work and Ray is happy there all is well.
I have been keeping myself busy with the two kids and taking in a playgroup and take-a-break for women which has been a great means of meeting people. I also try to keep up with my scrapbooks, reading and learned to knit - Jill you always did inspire me and I finally picked it up - scarves is all I can do right now though.
I truely loved and needed this visit with my mom this last week and will count the days till February when I can see her again. Dad will finally met Kyla in a few weeks when he comes for the holidays and we lookforward to that time too.
Mark is doing great being a two, testing my patience and the rules and yet he has thoses cute, adorable times too. Kyla is 4mths now and discoved her voice and tongue. She'll coo and giggle for everyone. She learned to roll over while mom was here and just before mom left Kyla began to discover a means of inching like a worm to move across a blanket. I think she just wanted to show off to Grandma.
We have really loved keeping up with people through this blog idea and hope that many others will be able to use this means to keep in touch with us also. Thanks Lisa-Joy and John,(lisajoy-and-john.blogspot.com), Josh and Michelle (joshfuller.blogspot.com), and Brad and Stacey (xanga.com/bradandstace) for your blogs and letting us keep up with your lives. Hope many of you enjoy ours as well.
Keep in touch

Wow. You guys definitely have a family. Two kids! So, merry Christmas. Cory and I fly home in one week and we're excited (and need to locate who the heck has our winter stuff...either Marissa or my sisters...hmm. Work is busy for both of us. Cory is framing houses for Habitat and I'm Mrs. Office girl now. I've even been given two business suits for my wearing pleasure...and have yet to wear them. And I do have a blog but it is not really note-worthy at this point. I was just experimenting and now that I know it's a cinch, I'll have to make it a happenin' place.
Miss you all and hope one day to meet Kyla!
