I'm back! and hoping to keep up this year :-)

 Jenna in July... 4 months old.

 Hewitt(the Incredibles) and Elijah(the Red Power Ranger) on Halloween.

 My girls - Grace (mermaid), Jenna (pumpkin),and Sophia (pink Power Ranger).

 Jenna - 7 1/2months

 Grace - dressed in her Shepherds costume for the Christmas play at Church.

 Sophia played "child 1" - she had 3 very important lines, and did great!

 They both sang loud and clear to the songs as well.

 Grace was a shepherd that told the reporter about the angels. She had 3 lines (1 really long) and did fantastic as well!

 Here's my handsome man, just testing the self timer on the camera.  hahaha

 So that we could attempt this... a family picture. I love my family!!

 Christmas morning excitement!!!

 My 3 ninjas! :)

 Jenna slept through the big kids opening presents, but she enjoyed her stocking as well!

Christmas at Grandma Jenny and Grandpa Frank's house:

Taking some fun snapshots at Grandma and Grandpa Puttmann (aka keeping the kids out of the front room for a bit while Christmas stuff was finishing up).

 Smell your toes!

 Grandpa Puttmann with Grace and Johanna.

 Grandpa and Grandma Puttmann with Jenna.

 The kids were taking pictures of Jenna and I.

 Sophia, Grace, and Johanna.

 And this is what Christmas always does to us... worn out!

 Packed and ready to go home... notice the cage:  we are now proud (?) owners of Gilbert (Gilby, Bert) the guinea pig.  My husband is a packing pro!

 Jenna was packed in as well, but was ready for a nap!

 We had a quick trip to Great Grandma Barb's place for some adventuring and sledding.  Sophia had a slight crash that ended in a little scrap on her face.

 "Hey Bert"  Gilbert has gotten plenty of attention since he's been here.

 Sophia has enjoyed her Easy Bake Oven.  :-)

I have more pictures from my phone that I will update as well - another time (that's scary to say, it might be in months).

As always, thanks to all our family and friends for a great year!  A year that brought us Jenna, and brought us some unexpected stress/pain with Kirk's accident.

All in all, God is good, all the time!!
