I know it's been a while since our last blog, with Christmas and New Years we have been pretty busy! Jared finally finished his student teaching the Friday before Christmas, well I think it was offically finished the week before that but he continued to go to the school the next week. Now he has to find a job which is the more difficult part. So please if you could pray that he finds a job quickly...it's been almost 5 months since his got paid for a real job (besides coaching). He's applied for a couple, so hopefully he will get a call for a least one.
I go back to work on Monday....having 2 weeks off was really nice! I wish I could stay home all the time, but at least I get to keep the kids with me! Gwenie has really missed her friend Sarah, so it will be good for her to have someone to play with. And it will also help to get the kids back on a schedule.
Max went to the doctor for a check up last week and he already weighs 19 pounds and is 29 inches long! I think that is how much Gwenie weighed when she was a year old :) He started crawling about a month before Christmas and now is going everywhere...he has so much more energy then I remember Gwenie having at that age...he's everywhere. He's also pulling up on anything he can get a grip on and just started taking steps from our couch to our loveseat. He'll be walking before we know it, he's growing up way too fast...he'll be one year old in 4 months!
Other than that, nothing is new, except my brand new niece who is so cute! I'm sure you all look at my sisters blog too so I'll let her tell you about her.
These are pictures from Christmas and New Years...they are kind of late, and sorry for the quanity, I just couldn't choose.
