Happy New Year

Well it is the beginning of a new year and we have a lot to be thankful for this past year. God has blessed our family tremendously this past year and we are so grateful. God is awesome all the time. As we start the new year we are all looking forward to the arrival of our sweet baby girl. We had a good report at this lask dr.'s visit. My fluid levels were up and she has turned head down (yeah no c-section). I was really worried about that. She is gaining weight, still a little behind, and she is growing well. We are very excited. We welcomed in the new year with my family and Richard's family and that was very nice.

It has been a rough week in our house as we have dealt with the loss of our schnauzer Haley. It seems like the house is so empty with her gone and Aspen still at the vets office. She has been there for 2 days now and may get to come home tomorrow. She is still in a a lot of pain and recovering from the tap they did on her chest to remove the excess air trapped in her chest cavity. We are all hoping she can come home tomorrow. We have decided as a family that there will be no more new dogs in the house. We will love the ones we have but will not be replacing any. It's too hard to lose them and too hard to deal with that loss.

Again, we have had a good year and I know that God is going to bless is in the new year. I pray blessings on all of you and your families and pray that as you enter a new year, you enter it with prayer for God's will and guidance to be evident in your lives.
