Sorry, I'm too lazy to wait and put any pictures on here, but I did want to make a quick few notes before the craziness of Christmas and the New Year hits...
This year has been especially wonderful in many ways...some of which I'm sure we don't even fully understand. We truly have so much to be thankful for and are just enjoying this festive time of year.
We got a tree about a week ago and decorated it with all the ornaments we had that were unbreakable. Greg also came up with the BRILLIANT idea to get a bunch of wooden ornaments for the extended family to color and sign on the back with the year to put on the tree so it looks more decorated, but Karyl can't break them. In fact, she kind of enjoys re-arranging them when I'm not looking!!
We're trying to just slow down and enjoy the rest of this year because once 2009 starts up, we might as well just fast forward to the end of summer because with Freddie coming the beginning of March and Wild Rivers the first 3/4 of the year are as good as gone!! We are so thankful to be adding another member to our family and are super excited that it is a boy...and we have lots of new (and old) friends that are having babies within a few weeks of us so he will have lots of friends (as does Karyl now too!). On that note, we even discovered that a friend of ours that was in Greg's ward growing up and went to seminary with me in High School lives RIGHT down the street from us!! We have had lots of chances to catch up with her and she has a little girl due like 3 weeks before us, so we are enjoying getting to know each other again and reminiscing over all the crazy stuff we went through in our teenage years!
So, with so many things to be thankful for this Holiday Season....health, happiness, a new home and wonderful family and friends...we want to wish you all a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!!

So many things to be thankful for. Happy Holidays!
You asked if Paul worked for FedEx - oh yeah baby! He was a courier for a coupl of years, and you're right, it's just about easier scheduling Arab-Istaeli peace talks than it is getting holidays off. So we're definitely enjoying his more flexible schedule now. And I just love you and your post here - you're so right that we have so many things to be grateful for! And like you said, so many things that we may not even know about. Such a great perspective. Thanks for the reminder!
