blog not abandoned!

Wow, I can't believe it's been two weeks since I last updated! So sorry! =)

We've had such a wonderful Christmas 'week'. I absolutely LOVE this time of the year. I think it's so magical and peaceful and joyful. And of course, it can be stressful and exhausting and expensive, but I try to not let that side of it take over!

Christmas was a blast. I think Chris & I were more excited than Coy was on Christmas morning! Coy loves to sleep late these days...and I think he was rather irritated when we woke him up on Christmas morning. He "opened" some gifts and didn't have a clue what was going on. =)

We spent Christmas day with both of our families; we are so lucky that everyone lives so close together! Last year, we spent Christmas in the NICU, thankful for our son and praying for his healing. This year, we're in awe of Him, eternally grateful for Coy, and amazed at what a difference a year makes!

Hope everyone had a happy, healthy, joyful holiday season!

Chris & Coy gave me a new camera for Christmas! I was so excited and took lots of pictures! Here a few of the better ones!
