Christmas 2006

Happy Birthday Jesus!

What an awesome morning. Woke up at 5:30 to open presents then headed to Ma & Pa Hondorp's at 8:00 for Christmas with them, then off to my mom and dad's house at 1:00. The kids where spoiled rotten and received so many good things. But the most wonderful thing happened that morning. As we where getting ready to open presents at home Keri asked if she could say a pray. Of course I said yes and was already crying. She prayed for all the people that were in Heaven and not with there family's. She is one remarkable little girl. God works in the most amazing ways!!!

Christmas Eve

Traditions... Every since David and I have been together we spend Christmas Eve with our parents. It is so wonderful when our parents have become such close friends. This year it was very important to have them around since it is the first Christmas without my brother. My dad gave my mom a very special gift this night. It was a mother and child necklace with my brothers birth stone in it. He gave it to her and said that she will always have Greg close to her heart. Needless to say there was not a dry eye in the room.

What a week!!!

Sorry for the delay in the post, but I have a good excuse.

The Friday before Christmas I picked Nathan up from my In laws. When I got there I noticed that Nathan felt a little warm so when I got home I took his temp, 101.8. Figuring that we have a long weekend ahead, I best call the doctor now. 3:30 called the dr. and they said bring him in. They did chest x-rays and figured he had RSV. So the dr. took a swap of the nose and said she would call on Saturday if positive. Saturday came and we had the Hondorp Family Christmas party and we just got home when we received the call, It's Positive for RSV. So we have had to give him breathing treatments every six hours all week long. Nathan has been a trooper through this all. He wants to just sit on mom's lap all day.

CHRISTmas is in the Air!

Tis the season for Christmas tree's, shopping, cards and party's. Trying to get a picture of the 2 kids together seems impossible. Nathan and his runny nose just looks awful in the pics and Keri with the glare of the flash, needless to say I have not found a good pic yet.

We also had the Burgess X-mas party on Saturday and Nathan and Emma looked so cute. Emma loved pushing Nathan around in his walker. This was Nathan's first time opening a present. He Loved It!!! He was so excited when he opened the gift.

1st's

This entry is the of first's. Nathan had a busy couple of weeks. His first Thanksgiving, the first time he held his own bottle, heard the word "NO NO", and of course the first snow fall. Nathan is now 7 months old and become a very smart little boy. He has learned to do the army crawl and can get any where he wants. Sorry I have not blogged in awhile but things here in the hondorp house have been busy. For those of you who have not heard our court date for Keri was moved from the 27th of Nov to Jan 3rd. Keri's mom has asked for a court appointed attorney
and so they had to move the date. According to

our attorney the outcome should not change and

hopefully we will be able to adopt Keri in June.
