Well I can't believe 2007 is over, and we have already completed the first week of 2008. We had a great time with friends and family on New Years eve. We had a "kid friendly" party. Keaton made it to 10:30 or so, and Easton made it to 12:30.
We are looking forward to a year full of excitement and adventure. Of course traveling to get Claire and sightseeing in Vietnam tops our list, but there are many other things to look forward to. Many of you probably do not know this, but Easton got saved a few weeks ago and he is getting baptised at the beginning of Feb. If ever there is one joy over another in raising our children, that is it for us. This is the one thing we hold most important in our lives, and we can't wait to watch Easton grow in his relationship with God. He is a responsible, intelligent, sweet and gentle child and we know he is capable of great things in his life.
In 2008, Garrett will complete his masters degree in administration, and has hopes of being a principal someday soon. Just being done with school will be relief enough for him. Although he loves school, I know he is ready for a break.
Keaton is also going to experience lots of firsts this year. He is finally old enough to be playing organized sports, he will attend pre-school 5 half days a week, and he will become a big brother! He is very excited about "helping" when Sister arrives, and I know he will do a great job.
As for me, I plan to continue to work from home for a few more years. Although sometimes it seems hectic, it is the best thing for our family at this time, and I don't miss much. I know in just a few short years, my kids will no longer consider mommy and daddy their best friends, so I am going to hang on to that as long as I can.
I am sure this year will also bring alot of same old traditions. Camping, boating, Silver Dollar City and White Water every week, and lots of family gatherings.
