SV-Theo's 32-Rowan's New Friends

It must be December because I cannot find any time to get things done...like update the blog! We are preparing to go on our first plane ride with Rowan where we will take an adventure around the midwest...MN, IA, IL. Rowan will be meeting his Great Grandfathers on Theo's side and mine, his aunt and uncle Tina and Steve, and cousins Miles, Mason, and Lauren!!!!!

A quick round up of the pictures above....

Up top...Rowan has some new friends...they are all boys and all within 4 months of eachother. I joined a mom group and we will be getting together for playdates, etc.....many more pictures of this group will come over time.

next....and bottom.....we headed down to SV again to visit with Justin "Buster" who came in from Germany. All the "Chimones" (All of Theo's Homies from HS) came together for a party at the Chamberlains house....what a night it was. The picture on the bottom is of me and Rowan in the hammock on the Chamberlain's front porch....just chillin'

mid pic of Theo and I.....Happy Birthday to Theo (12-2-2008). To celebrate his 32nd B-Day we went to check out a Jamaican Restaurant DT PHX....Emilie was kind enough to come watch RJ while we went out (Thanks Em).

That's all for now........

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanks to Aunt Kathy and Uncle Don for having us over for Thanksgiving in Tucson. The food was delicious (as always) and the fellowship great! We had the pleasure of hanging out with Mark and Amy who are expecting their first in January. It was fun talking babies with them....don't worry guys, you'll do great! Rowan had a great time with Grandma and he's so glad she came up to Phoenix to see him for the night! He especially liked holding Grandma Carol's hand the whole way back up to Phoenix.

As I reflect on what I am thankful for this year I cannot help but be amazed by God's Grace! In all our sin and stupidity he still Loves us and forgives us!

I am so thankful for my beautiful son....he has changed my life and is such a bright light.

I am thankful for my husband...for putting up with me and taking such great care of me and Rowan.

I am thankful for our parents...now that I have RJ I truly understand what they did for us.

I am thankful for all my friends....for being there for me and all the great times.

I am thankful for this country and the freedoms we have.....it's so much worse in so many other places.

Thank You!

until next time....
