Yet another holiday season passes us by... This year was an exciting year as we had all of our babies with us. As most of you remember, last Christmas Mikayla was only about a month old and spent her first Christmas in an isolette in the NICU at St Paul Children's. Things were much different this year. Yep, Mikayla got her first feel of what it is like to bounce around on Christmas and be around lots and lots of family for a week straight. She handled it very well and seemed to enjoy all of the attention. She really got into the gift opening thing too though she was more interested in the paper then she was the actual present. She was a little spoiled to say the least.

Not much else to update. We are still trying to fatten our peanut up with added fat in her diet. She is working on walking. This past weekend she started walking along the furniture and transfering from one thing to the next. She is talking up a storm... we have no idea what she is saying but based on tone of voice and facial expression- it is pretty serious stuff.

We hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year. We are looking forward to looking back on all the good that has happened in the past year and anxious to see what comes of 2009.
