After the Holiday Rush...

Well, the holidays are over and we survived them! We had a wonderful Christmas with both sides of the family.  We are so blessed. We really enjoyed all of the food, games, gifts, and conversations.  The best part for me though was spending my first Christmas with my amazing husband and my precious daughter.  Getting to see the rest of the family enjoy seeing Sylvia was really special too. 

Allen had to go back to work, and I return next Friday. (Yes, I have to go back on a Friday...) We do have a babysitter we are happy with figured out who happens to be our neighbor.  God was so good to us in 2011, I pray he continues to do so for our whole family in 2012, but also that he will give us the strength and courage to approach the challenges we are sure to have this year. 

Sylvia is now REALLY using her voice for more than just crying.  She is putting more than one coo together at a time and is so cute when she gets to chattering.  She does most of her chattering on the changing table, which seems strange to us, but she has always enjoyed being on the changing table.
