How Cute Are We??
Seriously....I love this picture!! Katie took it on Christmas Day...I can't believe how old Edwin looks! He's growing up so fast...but at least he still likes to cuddle with mommy. Hopefully Katie will have some more pictures for me soon (hint hint) and I'll be sure to post them here. Enjoy one of the last few days of 2007!

Edwin's Progress Report
Yesterday Ed and I took Edwin to the doctor for his 9-month checkup. Yes, I said 9 months!!!! Everything was great, and Dr. Carter (not Noah Wylie...this is a female Dr. Carter for all you ER fans out there) said Edwin is doing wonderful. He's crawling, he's pulling up to standing now...and she thinks he'll be walking within 4 to 6 weeks. Look out world, Edwin is on the move! Here are his stats for 9 months:
Height: 28.5 inches
Weight: 21 pounds
In other words....perfect! Not that I'm biased or anything. And since I don't have any pictures on my computer here at work, you'll have to settle for this funny cartoon I found.

The Real Christmas Story
I love Christmas. For so many reasons....spending time with family, holiday traditions, yummy food, gifts, etc. I've always known and understood that the real reason for celebrating Christmas is the birth of Jesus. But this year, Christmas took on a whole new meaning for me because my relationship with the Lord is so much stronger. Yesterday (Christmas Day), I was rushing around the house trying to get everything ready for when the family came over. But I made sure to stop what I was doing, pick up my bible, and read the "real" Christmas story.
Luke 2: 1-20
The Birth of Jesus
1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to his own town to register.
4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
The Shepherds and the Angels
8And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
13Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."
16So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
I have heard and read this story more times than I can count...but this year more than ever I'm so grateful for it. I'm so grateful that we are able to celebrate the birth of our Savior more than two thousand years later. So even though it's technically a day late, Merry Christmas everybody!!!!
(I'll post some pictures in the next few days and tell you all about our wonderful time )

Butt Measurement
A man and his wife were working in their garden one day and the man looks over at his wife and says,'Your Butt is getting really big, I mean really big.I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue grill.'
With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife's bottom.'Yes, I was right; your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue grill!!!'
The woman chose to ignore her husband. Later that night in bed, the husband is feeling Frisky. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off.
'What's wrong?' he asks.
She answers: 'Do you really think I'm going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little weenie?'

It Looks So Nice!
Check out these pictures of our new bedroom!! Well, the room itself isn't new, but the paint and the furniture are! Last week Ed painted the room and yesterday our Christmas present was delivered. I don't know if it's just our imagination, but we both think our bed is much more comfy now. We have matching night stands and a ginormous dresser. Now all we need to do is put up some pictures on the wall and it's all set. I'm so excited!!

Look Out World...Here I Come!!!
Edwin is changing so much every day!! Last weekend, he started to figure out how to crawl. And over the past week, he's pretty much mastered the art of getting from one side of the room to the other. It helps that he has such strong motivation too. Mom (Grandma) bought him the cutest toy at Kohl's. It's a singing Abomidable (?) Snowman that lights up and dances. Turn that sucker on and Edwin takes off like it's a race!!
I have another video just like this one from yesterday, but I fell asleep on the couch last night and didn't upload it. But I think you get the point. He can move!!! He also graduated to the big boy room at daycare...also known as the Infant II room. Basically, it means he can get into things, so he's in with the other movers and shakers. My baby is growing up :)
