Long time no post

Hello!
Well, the semester is over and I'm finally on Christmas break! It was a difficult semester - 5 classes, working 24hrs a week, being a mommy & wife, but I did it! And I only have 2 semesters left, Praise the Lord!!! It's all been such a blessing and God continues to open doors and things just keep falling into place! God is SO Good!!! And thank you for all of your love, support & prayers during these past few month - keep 'em comin! :)

Enough about me, lets talk about adorable little Brayden! He's getting ready to turn 2 January 7th and I can't believe it! Where has the time gone??? He's talking up a storm and growing like a weed! It amazes Ryan and I how fast he learns things and applies them. Right now we are working on his name and who he is. I pat him on his chest and ask him who he is and his response is always "baby" and my response is "yes, you are my baby and always will be!" I guess we probably didn't pick the easiest name for a child to pronounce, but I like it way better than the name Bob (no offense)! He loves to read, color, play with playdoh, building blocks, and play with any type of ball. We sometimes play a miniature version of baseball in the living room and he goes crazy! He's thinks its the funniest thing to watch us hit the ball and to throw it back and forth! He just laughs and laughs!!! I love being a mommy, he's filled with such innocent joy!!!

We put our tree up this past week while Bray was at Grandma & Grandpa's and it is so funny to see. There are no ornaments on the bottom 1/4 of the tree and then on the next 1/4 are all felt, non-breakable. All of our other breakable ornaments are on the top half. Bray has been pretty good about it... well except for taking his baseball bat to it... and pulling the ornaments off... and throwing toys and balls into it - but other than that, he's been good! :)

I'll try and upload some pictures soon so you can see his cute, joyous little smile!!!
