New Year

Happy New Year (although quite late)!

We started with new year with coughs, upper respiratory issues, an ear infection, and teeth. I guess Kaylee feels the need to "go big or go home". The last few days have been a little rough, but it looks like she is on the mend. Antibiotics seems to be working and a tylenol/ibuprofen rotation has brought down her temperature that got as high as 104 Sunday night. It's also looking like her 4 top teeth are going to come in together. We've got two on the left side poking through, and maybe we'll get lucky and the two on the right decide to come follow suit. Just one more step closer to steak :)

Kaylee is back to daycare and mom is back to work. Let's hope we're all back to a full night's sleep soon. We've got some fun pictures to share from Christmas and new pictures from the last week. Until then, everyone continue to play with your new Christmas toys.

A New Year's Wish...

Perhaps a bit wiser,
a bit kinder, too,
a little bit braver,
a heart that's more true,
a touch of believing
I've not known before,
in joys I'm receiving
a little bit more.

A little more anxious
to reach out my hand,
despite hurt or problems
to still understand,
accepting the heartache
that life often brings,
a little more beauty
in life's simple things.

A prayer when I'm weary
as onward I trod,
a little more trusting,
believing in God,
'tis this I would wish for
within moments dear,
not a lot - just a little
this wondrous new year.

As promised way back in December, a new look for the blog. I've had the new background up for a couple of days and finally got the new title/header up this afternoon. Thanks for stopping by and checking out what exciting (or boring) things have been going on in our lives. This started as just a fun way to document different things that went on in our first year of marriage and keep our family up to date. Now, as we move into 2009 and beyond, we invite you back to see what we have in store "Through the Years".
