Happy New Year!


2008....Hard to believe....seems just yesterday I was graduating from High School....and now I am staring in the face of a twenty year reunion. Wow. I really don't feel that old. I guess no one really ever does.

Jon begins his second semester of his junior year today. Life's about to get crazy! :) I truly admire his perseverance. Working three jobs, doing well in school, all the while remaining committed to his family. He makes my life look easy.

Trent is enjoying his new experience with basketball. We're so proud of him for venturing out and trying something new....something that really is out of his comfort zone. I pray this will be a confidence builder for him. He is entering the awkward tween years and we truly desire to parent him well. This is new territory for all of us.

Regan is wanting to play softball this spring so, I suppose we'll be adding one more thing to our already busy schedules.

Rylee is frustrated. She is wanting to crawl so badly but, has not quite figured it out yet. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks....so it's just around the corner. She is just precious and continuing to bring our family joy everyday.

We've been here in Virginia for almost three years and this weekend was the first time we've had snow that stuck to the ground. It was really beautiful and the kids enjoyed it so much...brought back fond memories of Chicago.

So nice to hear what is happening on the homefront. It makes me realize how much I miss you all. Jon keeps us updated on the major stuff, but it was nice to hear how things are going from your perspective. We are really "bummed" that we couldn't come this Christmas. We've come to the conclusion that we need to brace ourselves next time we plan a trip to Virginia, as something bad inevitably happens! You guys are just going to have to pack up and come here next time! We have plenty of snow for everyone to play in! Hugs and kisses to everyone! Diane (and Rick)
