Pics in the Snow!!

This was our "big" snow of the month and hopefully the only one of the season. It was a lot of fun seeing Isabella out there playing and discovering snow for the first time. She enjoyed just running in it.

too long ago

These were the first pictures I took with my new camera! I was very excited to get it and am still learning how to use it.




In this picture I was 25 weeks.


I am sorry that it has been a long time since I have put anything on here. It seems that everyday I want to, but just don't sit down and do it. The new year is in full swing now and it is hard to believe we are 2010. We are eager to see what God has in store for us this year. After 4 moves in the last three years and one more possibly to come this summer we are ready to settle some roots again.
Since I did not get out a Christmas card this year (I am waiting until baby #2 comes along and send an update then). I was inspired by my friend, Natalie, to put an update on each family member and then what some of our hopes are for the year.
Here it goes:

Matt:
He has only 5 1/2 months left of sports medicine fellowship. He is loving the program and learning a lot. He just finished writing a journal article on hockey injuries that will be published in a sports medicine journal. He is very excited that it is done and that it will get published. I am very proud of him!
He(we) went on two interviews before Christmas in South Carolina for a "real" job. We were not as excited about one of the towns even though the people were great..it just was not the right fit for us. The second town we went to was Florence and we really enjoyed ourselves there. It would be an amazing job for Matt and he is very excited about this option. We are now waiting to hear from them if we got the job or not....I will keep you posted.

Katie:
I am doing well. I am 28 weeks and feeling good. I can't believe we are going to have another person around here soon. I am anxious about how Isabella will adjust, but I am sure she will be fine once she gets used to not being the only child. I am also about to begin the potty training....again. I tried 2 weeks ago and was not mentally prepared for the task. I am really enjoying St.Louis and what the city has to offer. I am loving my MOPS group and am excited that our Bible study will be starting back up in a few weeks. It has been really cold here and I am learned that after three years in TX I am no longer interested in living in the north. .I am eager to find out if we got this job in Florence or not. It would just be nice to know soon so that we can start to make other plans if Florence does not work out

Isabella:
She is so much fun and we are enjoying her everyday! She loves people and playing with other children. I am hoping to get her into a Mother's day out program next month so that she can have more interaction with other kids. She is talking so much now and saying so many new words everyday. It is so fun watching her grow and learn. She is a very active little girl who loves to run circles around our house. She also got to experience her first snow earlier this month (pictures to follow). She had a great time and enjoying throwing the snow.

A few of our 2010 hopes:

~We are praying to have a job in place before Matt is done with fellowship at the end of June.
~For the safe delivery of our son in April.
~For a easy move experience and possible adjustment to a new home.
~Most of all that we are able to raise our children to have a person relationship with him.
