Merry Christmas!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's also quite a busy time of year for us.
Shawn spends his days out at the farm building a new flushing barn. I am excited that they have finally started doing something about starting this new business.
Brooklyn finally started crawling the middle of November. She is much happier now that she can get where she wants to go! Luckily in our new home there is a lot of space for her to move around and lots of places to explore. I can't believe that she is nearly a year old! Time goes so quickly! She has really developed a fun personality and is learning new things daily!
We found out in September that we are having another baby. The due date is June 1st, though the ultrasound says June 4th. Brooklyn was early so maybe we will get lucky again? We find out what we are having in January. I am just now starting to feel like a human being again-just in time!
I feel the need to put in a plug for paying tithing. These are difficult times for everyone, and we are not immune. However, we feel we have been blessed where we need it most when we need it most. We were blessed to set up a pretty good food storage last fall which has allowed for a sense of security. We have also received unexpected checks a couple of times this past month. My only explanation is that we pay our tithing and are doing the best we can. We may not have much by worldly standards, but we feel rich with the things we do have. Family, gospel, education, just to name a few.
