New Year...

Okay, so we're a little late getting this posted.

Reflections and Milestones for 2008...
God has graciously seen us through each day
Naomi starting Kindergarten (!)
Isaiah totally potty trained (!)
We celebrated being married for 8 years (!!)
Jordan turned 1 year old
Jordan is walking/running
We found out #4 is coming in April
Danny & Laurie went on a cruise to Mexico with Danny's family
Danny finished all of his tests and oral exams for his PhD
We found out #4 is a boy (his name is Joel)
Naomi is reading a lot of words
Isaiah is riding a 2 wheel bike
We continue to love our church
We have been so blessed with friends to enjoy time with.
We love living in San Diego!

Our cute girlies.

We saw a live Nativity presentation at one of the local churches. Isaiah loved the soldiers, so was pretty proud to get a photo by one!

Naomi had a fun Christmas concert at her school. Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Cook, and good friends Leah and Angelica.

Here's the fam in our van - only one more seat to fill up.

Typical Isaiah: reading stories. (Ok, the white button-down shirt is not typical!)

The girl cousins on the Frese side, with whom we spent Christmas.

The boy cousins.

Christmas morning...



Grandma and Grandpa Frese, Great Uncle Dave, and the 5 of us headed to the Sierras to enjoy some white stuff!
Jordan was so excited that she could eat everything in sight!



Naomi and I built the snowman. Danny was all about the sledding, but I didn't think my back or our little baby would appreciate the massive bouncing!

All 10 cousins!

Isaiah's favorite present, by far!! A great toy - for an 8 year old.

JOY! One of our Christmas gifts was new carpet in our apartment! After much begging and Isaiah oozing charm all over the inspection lady, our apts agreed to put some new stuff in. Compare the color of our old (turquoise with purple specks) with our wonderful now Neutral color! Ahhh... We had to rearrange our entire house, but oh, was it worth it!
