This week was the 20 week ultrasound and it's a girl! We're pretty excited. We'll start things off with a boy and girl. Not too shabby. Guess we don't have to worry about not having any girls :) The ultrasound went great...everything looked good, all measurements were right and the due date is the same (May 6, 2010). We'll see if she comes on her due date as Blake did. We can't wait. We were excited to have Abby's grandparents and cousin in town for the ultrasound and to visit with this last week. We had a lot of fun and it's always nice to visit with family. We're glad they came.
It's been a busy few weeks leading up to Christmas...we've been shopping, getting our tree, putting lights up and chasing Blake around. It's been a lot of fun, but the holidays seem to be coming up very quickly and will probably be over before we know it. Blake is excited and thinks the Christmas tree is a lot of fun. He keeps pulling ornaments off of it and trying to crawl behind it. But otherwise hasn't got into too much trouble with it.
We have had the chance to go to a Christmas parade in Boulder a few weeks back. That was cold but fun. We had a cold streak there for a few weeks but since have warmed up again and it's been really nice the last week or so. We've been going to the various Christmas parties for this time of the year and those have been a lot of fun. I've never been a big fan of white elephant gift exchanges (just seems like 'here have my junk and you can have mine'), but this year they seemed a little better than usual. Hard to believe Christmas is less than a week away now, but I think we're ready. Blake is excited to see Grammy and Grampy and Rachel the week after Christmas and so are we.
We've been thinking the last week or so about the year as we wrote the Christmas letter and as the year comes to an end and it has made us think about the blessings that we have in each other as family and how God provides. It has been a crazy year in many ways, but overall good. We have had the opportunity to go on some adventures this year and have learned a lot as parents (still have a long way to go). We really value our friendships and although we miss seeing our family we really enjoy the times we have got to spend with them this year and hopefully all the more next year.
Merry Christmas!
