Christmas

Sorry that it has taken me such a long time to get to the updates lately. It feels like the last few weeks have just gone by so quickly. We did have a great Christmas and New Year's. Trae was out of school for two weeks and it was nice to have that break. It almost felt like too long though, because he sure had a hard time getting back into the swing of things. We have been so blessed these last few months and with the New Year I have been thinking a lot about 2008 and all that it brought us. We definitely had some challenges, but we also had the most amazing moments. I am proud of my little family. Proud that when Trae broke his arm he gained a profound respect for the priesthood and the power of a blessing from his Dad. I am thankful for the lessons Jeff and I have learned about our faith and the strength of our love for each other. Grateful for Miguel and how much he has grown-it is fun to see him finding his place. We really have had a good year, despite how hard it has seemed. I am excited about this new year and all the surprises 2009 will bring.
