Well, I think that the Michigan winter chill is finally here. It was so cold this morning!! Just wanted to update everyone and let you all know that Isabelle has croup which I am hoping is on its way to being over. She has started on some steroids which have helped somewhat but that cough sure is awful!
Zachary is officially potty trained during the day. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are still working on the night time thing and I have a feeling this may take a while to break but at least we have the daytime under control. It has been about a week and he has only had one accident! We are quite pleased and I just can't believe that I am at a stage in my life that this is such an exciting topic that I am posting it on our website. :) I think that I more releived because we will not have to buy so many Pull-Ups that are way too expensive!
One of my nephews is getting married this weekend and this makes me feel quite old since I was 5 when he was born. I also became a Great Aunt (not with the nephew getting married this weekend - just to clarify) and an Auntie in the same week. This makes me feel really old and kinda weird. But both boys are beautiful and healthy and this was what matters the most.
I will be posting some pictures later tonight of Zachary playing in the snow and then some new pictures of Isabelle. I am not sure if I already posted this so please forgive me but Isabelle is clapping now and thinks that she is pretty cool stuff. She loves to sing Patty Cake and If Your Happy and You Know it Praise the Lord! Zach also likes to chime in and sing!
My brother Keith would have celebrated his 49th birthday at the beginning of this month if he were alive. I miss him so much lately and I am not sure why. I am sure that he is watching from heaven as his son is married this weekend. He is also probably glowing with pride of his newly extended family and being a great uncle as well. Sure wish that he was here with us but I would never wish him away from the wonderful place called heaven....
Love to all of you and we hope that everyone is healthy and happy!

Happy New Year!!!
Wow! I can't believe it is already 2008, we are both 30 and feel old already. I rememer when I was younger I always thought that people in theri 30's were old and I don't feel old but I am. :( Things have been so well for us through the Christmas Season and into the New Year. We have so much to be thankful for and so many good friends and loving family. We were able to spend alot of time to those that are close to us and that was so nice.
Update on the children...Zach is 2 1/2 and all of that!! We are still working on potty training and have a good weeks and our not so good weeks. He gets it down really well and then seems to forget. He is sleeping now in his bed without the siderails and thinks he is cool stuff. He is also strating to pray all on his own now. Here is one of them, "Dear God be with Josh and make him all better and be with Grandma's owee and make it all better, be with Momom's owee and make it all better too. Be with all of the people, Amen". It is so sweet. He kinda sang in his first Christmas Program this year, Happy Birthday to Jesus. The reason I say kinda is because some of the children were singing quite loud and somewhat yelling which was really cute but confused Zach so he sat there holding his cupcake just looking around. We were proud that he even stood there in front of 400 people. He loves his sister so much and is really being a big helper for his Mommy.
Isabelle is our sweet little girl but an overachiever. She started crawling 1 1/2 months ago and then 1 week later started saying da da and then standing. She is now all over the place and is trying very hard to walk and is way too brave. Due to her braveness she has many falls and has cruises all over her face and head. The poor girl needs a helmet. :) She is finally sleeping through the night and wakes up such a happy girl. She is really enjoying playing and having some freedom to go wherever she wants to go.
David and I continue to work and try to keep up with everything. I have received a permanent part time position at the Hospital and get at least one day at home with my kids and I love that. David would still like to move us to Alma someday but for now I am able to hold him off. He is starting a "Body Challenge" next week, we have some friends who run a fitness center and this is a weight loss and body sculpting challenge and I must say you may not even recognize David in 8 weeks. :)
God has been so good to us this past year especially. We have a beautiful family (thanks to our kids) and everyone has been healthy for most of the year. We are not going to Florida this year during the winter which makes us quite sad, but we are looking forward to the Gilmore Reunion this Summer. My parents will be married 50 years this February and are going a Cruise provided by their children and then we will all celebrate together in July!!! YEAH!! We hope that his new year brings all of you peace and happiness and that the year ahead will be one full of faith and love.
