We are in...the snowiest month in HISTORY! What will the new year bring for January? One can only wonder! A warm-hearted thank you to my hubby who has been plowing us out each storm!!
Our family had a wonderful Christmas. Joey started out with the stomach flu Christmas Eve but was rallied by morning! (A true Keith at heart) We celebrated at my parent's home and had a wonderful snowy time. A favorite memory is the scavenger hunt Joey had to go on to find his new bow and arrow set from Grandpa! We even stayed an extra night due to snow accumulation...good grief! Also started after the holiday is Katie's nursery! Tom painted and mom and I have been starting to get things organized!
After the holiday we were thrilled with a fun-filled visit from the Cunningham's! A huge thanks to Sean, Jill, Will and baby Kate, (who is now one!!) for making the trip! Jill helped created some new visions and ideas for our nursery, greatly appreciated! We throughly enjoyed the visit! A wonderful lunch downtown, a date night at Downriver Grill and lots of pheasant hunting for the dads! Snow time in the back yard for the kids as well as lots of playing!
The next event over break was the baby shower thrown for me by Trish and Jen! Thanks ladies for the special treatment! Also, special help from my momma-and notice the beautiful bouquet of roses she did, as well as amazing snow help from my dad. Unfortunately the day of the shower was about the closest thing to a blizzard I have ever been in! My father ended up towing most of us to the top of his driveway with the back hoe! Thanks to my dear friends who braved the weather and the roads. You are appreciated! I feel so blessed with all the prayers, thoughts and gifts from family and friends for this precious little gift coming February 20th. We can't wait to meet you Katie!

First of all, I LOVE that pic of Joey with the snow on his face. So freaking cute!
Second of all, how do I make one of those slide show books? That was awesome!
I can't wait to meet little Katie either! Just a little over a month... :)
Hi Kim!
Happy New Year! I LOVE this post and hearing the details of your Christmas time (loved the treasure hunt fior the bow and arrow) and baby shower slide show!! Your Momma's bouqey is lovely and so perfect to celebrate the birth of a little girl!
I am beyond overjoyed as I think about your sweet baby Katie getting ready to be born! She is so loved and cherished already! I can't wait to meet her!
We are back from Hawaii after a great retreat and truly amazed at the amount of snow in Spokane! Yikes! No first day of the quarter for me today, as we already have a snow day!
May 2009 bless you and your family in every way!
God Bless!
Love Linda
I am so glad that you had such an enjoyable break! Your shower was SO much fun, and quite the adventure! Leave it to you to have a baby shower where guests needed to be towed to the house by a tractor :) Love it! Well, Auntie Trish can't WAIT to meet baby Katie! She is so loved already! XOXO
Wonderful pics and so much fun, love! XOXO
