Teaching Anna some moves
One of Anna's favorite games with Grandpa. Notice at the end she asks to do it again.
Christmas memories
We had a wonderful Christmas in Tennessee.
Anna did a great job with Santa Claus at her favorite place, the library! He was a wonderful, library-friendly Santa...with a real beard. Anna needed her thumb for reassurance, but no tears, so I consider this visit a success.
Grandpa and Grandma came to celebrate with us. Anna could not have asked for a better Christmas present.
Anna was getting a little tired of pictures by this point.
And here is the tree on Christmas Eve. Anna actually went to bed on time without too much fuss, and we reminded ourselves we should enjoy this stage while it lasts.
We have had a truly blessed year. Christmas was a reflective time for us to remember and give thanks.

My Poor Neglected Blog!!
Oh dear. I haven't forgotten you. This blog has been rattling around in the back of my mind for--let's see--about four months now. Booting up the computer, uploading images from the camera and videocam, uploading them again to Blogger, editing, proofing, troubleshooting---it's all been a bit much for me to contemplate right now, not only because we have a 21 month old, but also because
we are expecting our second child in May.
We could not be happier, and personally, I could not be more tired. Well, that's not quite true, since I do remember life with a newborn. But it is true that I was wiped out for the first trimester. I slept through just about every spare moment I had, and maybe even some moments that weren't so dispensable. The great thing is that even though I'm ages behind on everything, I have not had much nausea, which is fantastic. Now that I'm well into the second trimester, I have more energy, but those 1-2 hour naps in the afternoon are just hard to give up. So I'm not making any resolutions here, so much as poking my head out and saying, Yes, we're still here, and yes, there is more to come.
As always, we appreciate your love, support, and prayers.
