An update on us, Christmas time is in full swing. The tree and decorations are up (have been since the end of November), the smell of baking is in the air, the turkey is in the freezer, and excitement is starting to plague Dana and I to the point where it is harder to sleep every night. We are big kids. Kynan is learning all about Jesus at Sunday School, and the other day we drove by a Nativity scene in town and he shouted "Look, Mary, Joseph and Jesus". Does that not make you proud? Kynan is getting to be so smart. And his imagination is amazing. He plays with his cars for hours, making sound effects and talking for his 'characters'. We were driving this morning and he said he was catching cars with his big rope like Diego. So creative. Ava is a rolli poli. She is trying to crawl, so she gets up on her knees and starts rocking. When she gets sick of that she just rolls to where she wants to go. And did I mention she loves blowing raspberries? We were at a church meeting last night, and the elders were talking about financial stuff. It was getting a little 'stiff', and then all of a sudden Ava started blowing her raspberries. Everyone started laughing because it was as if she was saying 'enough of this'! Speaking of last night, it was really exciting talking about our church's growth and plans for development and actually being a part of it. They have some really exciting plans that are very innovative and unique. And even Dana got excited, which is so nice to see.

That is about all that is new with us. Kynan's buddy is here now so I have to toodle. Have a happy 18th.
