hi little one! it's christmas eve and daddy and i just opened all our gifts. from now on we'll wait till christmas day, but since we are alone we did it christmas eve. i remember last year at christmas time, daddy and i were saying we couldn't wait till this christmas when we will be husband and wife. now this year we can't wait till next year when we are parents! we are so excited for you to come. and christmas is going to be so much fun with you. tonight we went to church, just daddy and i. it was beautiful. calvary just opened a new church building and we were in it tonight for the first time. you got some presents this year. i bought you a poem and short story book called 'a light in the attic'. i can't wait to read it to you. i remember when grandmom kathy used to teach preschool and she had the same book. i love it. daddy got you a few baby needs: powder, shampoo, wipes, bibs, qtips, a pacifier and a cute little stuffed lion and formula. he bought me a glider rocker that we are going to love! i can't wait to rock with you. daddy is in the rocker now playing his new video game on tv. boy was that a mistake to buy him! we went to visit grandpop flynn, grandmom patty, jaime and danielle. we had a nice evening, but daddy and i couldn't wait to get home. our chirstmas tree is so pretty. tomorrow morning we are going to uncle robs to see everyone open gifts, early! then we are going to eat at gram mcclurkins. i can't wait till we share all our christmas' with you. merry christmas,we love you! good night and god bless. be healthy, love mommy xoxo

hi,little one! how are you doing in there? things are okay out here, i guess. (aside from the headaches and heartburn! which are two little reminders from you!) i'm getting a little bigger and i feel you a little, but not much. i really want to feel you kick! maybe you're a lazy girl like mommy. i had a dream that i had you and you were a girl and i took you to work and i was nursing you at my desk! isn't that funny?! i'm glad it was only a dream. mommy's skin has been clearing up. not that it matters much, but it looks better for now. we had a delicious dinner on thanksgiving at grandmom cassaday's and then we visited grandmom rita and grandmom mcclurkin and saw all your uncles. everyone sung happy birthday to uncle seth, uncle mike and me for our birthdays. uncle seth's was last wednesday and uncle mike's is this wednesday and mommy's is next month. we always do it together because they are so close. grandmom and i sent seth to the greatful dead concert last month for his birthday present, he really wanted to go. grandmom went with him. yes, she is crazy and we love her! we didn't make it over to see pop-pop flynn and patty on thanksgiving. i miss them and we'll visit soon. i'm getting tired and tomorrow is my first day back to work after a long weekend, so i'm going to go to bed. p.s. i hope you're enjoying your vaction from our exercising program! i really hope you like all that jumping around, i do! daddy talks to you more and more everyday, soon you can hear him! we love you! good night and god bless! xoxoxo love, mommy oh yeah, this weekend (well, since thursday - thanksgiving) we had robbie. he was so much fun and he is so excited about you! we all can't wait! aunt dottie gave us more baby goodies!
