Happy Birthday William!

Hapy Birthday, William!

Just a note for you to read when you're old enough to appreciate more fully what I see in you ;-).

Thanks for picking your younger brother as the "reverent child" during singing time this last week. I know you felt pressure from all the "pick me's" out there! Thanks for announcing to everyone after you picked him that "he's my brother!"

Thanks for sharing your toys you got for your birthday with your brother. Thanks for letting him open your presents too.

Thanks for always getting me a walmart or target bag when I'm changing Gwen's diapers.

Thanks for playing with Gwen when I'm making dinner.

Thanks for being a peacemaker.

I love you. Happy Birthday.

Merry Christmas!

William is age 5 (he turns 6 in a couple of days). He's enjoying Kindergarten. He loves to draw and is quite a performer at our house. Tune in here in a couple of days to see him performing Jingle Bell Rock!

Maxson is age 3. He's big for his age--he grew 4 inches last year! He's in Joy School and is having a great time. He's the easy going one at our house and fun to have around.

Gwen is 1 and 1/2 years. She's a good influence on the boys, but still rough houses with them as much as a 1-year old can. She's extending her vocabulary every day and said "Candy Cane" to her Aunt Tiersa the other day--much to the chagrin of her mother (I wish she'd say phrases to me!).

Devlin's still working hard at building his business (http://www.instructure.com). If any of you have friends that teach at a university or college, send them Devlin's way! He'd love to have more users for their free (did mention free?) pilot!

I'm keeping busy with the 3 kiddo's at home. I'm thankful we're all healthy and happy. Thanks for your Christmas cards and emails! It's been wonderful to hear from all of you. We think of you often and are grateful to have such wonderful family and friends. We're thankful for this time of year to reflect on the birth of our Savior.

Merry Christmas!
