Our November flew by with birthday's and visitors to meet Levi. Drew & Autumn turned 6 years old on the 16th. I can't believe they are 6 years old already. I know every parent says that every year another birthday comes for one of their kids...it's amazing how much they have grown over the last year. They are both doing excellent in school and love Kindergarten. I am so proud of them both! Memaw and Grandpa Pritchett came on the 18th and stayed until the 23rd...it was so fun to have them around to meet their new grandson and spend time with ALL of us! My grandma came for the Thanksgiving weekend and we had a great time with her. On the 28th we had a family party to celebrate all the November birthdays...Craig, Drew, Autumn & my mom! Busy month!!!
December came and flew by too with all the holiday activities! The kids had concerts at school, Drew & Autumn sang at church while Alex and Levi played a wise man and baby Jesus on stage for a special song, our Ring family Christmas, Christmas with their dad & grandpa, grandma & Uncle Jeff, a trip to Erie to see our family on both the Donor & Ring sides, papa's birthday...wow, it has been busy. To top it off...Levi is already 2 months old and growing so much. He is now 12 lbs and 11 oz and in the 75th percentile!!! My big chubby bubby!
I am looking forward to what God has for our family in 2010...there were some really great moments from 2009 and some hardships and not so great moments. The one thing I know is that God is my strength and the one that gets us ALL through the hard times. I am determined to look at the positive happy moments of 2009 and leave behind the hard ones...
