The Best Christmas Ever!

Sorry it's been a while, but life has been busy! William is doing remarkably well, and he had a great Christmas (as did we all!).

Santa was very good to William - well, everyone has been very good to him actually! He's gotten hooked up with clothes, toys, books, puzzles, games, etc. His big Santa item was a Power Wheel jeep, which he loves.

His language skills are improving rapidly, and his English comprehension is beyond what we could even imagine at this point. He and Adie continue to be the best of friends. He enjoys coloring, painting, puzzles, and Bible Man. He also loves dressing up as Batman (thanks Joey, Kristy, Anna & Alli!!). He has been to church several times now - the first time in Sunday School brought tears, but he now really likes it.


Things are going well for our family. We have quickly gotten used to this new and wonderful life. Zack started back to work on the Friday before Christmas, and I will go back this Thursday. William will also start preschool on Thursday. He's visited with his class twice already, including attending their Christmas party. He seems to be excited about going to school, and asks how many days until he gets to go.



Oh, by the way, William is becoming more of an American by the day. He really enjoys his chicken nugget Happy Meals now, and asks for pizza all the time!

We don't have any big New Years Eve plans, but we made sure William got a long nap so he can stay up late if he wants. What a wonderful way to ring in the new year - with our son!!


Happy New Year to all of our friends and family!

I don't see how it can get any better than it's been already, but I know 2008 will hold more for all of us than we can imagine. I'd forgotten what Christmas with little ones can be like, but the memories came rushing back on Christmas Eve watching William opening his packages. At times it was hard to tell who the little one was watching Zack and Josh playing with all Williams toys!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Love Mom

We are so in love with our sweet little Grandson. He probably gets tired of his Gram hugging and kissing on him, but I just can't help myself. What did we ever do without him? We enjoyed yall being down this past weekend and appreciate the time to bond with him. It was priceless. We look forward to seeing yall again soon. I can't wait to hear how he reacts to his first day of school. I think he'll love it.
We love yall so much.

Hugs and kisses to William,
Mom and Tommy :-))

It's great to see all the photos. It looks and sounds like he is doing amazingly well.

Please keep posting once in awhile. It's fun to see how the kids continue to blossom once here.

Blessings in 2008!
