I know I said that I would post while I was on vacations. I had the best of intentions to, but that obviously did not happen. So, you will now get a picture update on our last month or so... Baby Shower thrown by Dan's sister, mom, aunt, and gma. Christmas with Dan's family in Aurora, family Christmas here in GC, Family Baby Shower, and Our week of Vacation in the Mountains. Super busy and exciting times. So here goes, we're going to let the pictures do the talking...
Baby Shower - 12/11/2009 - In Colorado Springs, hosted by my in laws. It was a great time and good to get together with everyone! We all had a great time!
My sister in law Trista, my mother in law Betty, and me at the shower. 
Then we went up to Trista and Chad's in Aurora for Christmas. It was great to get together with everyone! This was 1212 - 12/13.
Me and Erin (my brother in law's girlfriend) - hanging out! Fun story, I knew her before I knew him. She was my manager when I worked up at Horn Creek before Dan and I got married. Now she is dating my brother in law. Too fun!
Grant just wanted the baby food after the game was done...
Our hostess Michelle! 
2 pregnant, due in May (both with girls - my cousin's wife Nicole and my cousin Jenette), me with a picture of our guy, and my sister in law Margo who had her baby in November.
Then, Christmas! This was Christmas Day - 12/25/2009. My cousin Michelle threw all 4 of us that have had or are having babies a family shower! It was a good time! Brooke won a game and was super excited!

Christmas Dinner! - Kids table.
This is my cousin Michelle. She is the youngest of the six of us. She is getting ready for a semester abroad and will be going to school in England, outside of London. She will be missed, but we are all excited for her!

A full family picture for the first time in years!
Then it was off to Family Camp at Hermit Basin. This was my entire immediate family (all 20 of us!)
We hope you have enjoyed this update! We are excited for 2010 and what is in store for us! We get to go get our baby in a few weeks (tentatively) and can't wait! The Lord had done so much for us and we look forward to following his calling over the next year!

Dan and Tara, my daughter-in-love, Melanie, who lives in Germany, told me about your blog site and that you were awaiting an adoption from Ethopia, too.
Congratulations. We will get our 14th grandchild, Yocana, the first part of February. As you know, she also is Ethopian. She joins the ranks of her two adopted siblings and 3 others. Wow! I am proud of you - I know you will be blessed.
