Happy New Year 2008

I've been reading blogs all evening, as well as checking out the deals at Old Navy with $5 shipping (girls with baby girls, you should check it out), and I am glad to hear everyone is doing well. We enjoyed a very nice Christmas, although there was some sorrow as we said goodbye to Aaron's grandmother who passed away December 20. We enjoyed spending time with Aaron's family from Arkansas and Missouri that we rarely see, and we celebrated the salvation that arrived in the incarnation with a little more of an eternal perspective this year. We did all the usual over-eating at Christmas, rang in the New Year with Lindsay and Justin, and promptly set about working on our New Year's Resolutions. It's a new record because we haven't given up on them yet! =)

Walker is getting taller, more fun, and more independent everyday! He loves to do everything just like Daddy from the way he dresses to using his toy screwdriver to the way you stand in the kitchen to wait for your waffle to cook. It's pretty sweet to watch.
Sophie June is the perfect baby. She sleeps, eats, and smiles. Walker gets bigger grins out of her than anyone else, which is pretty amazing since she hands them out freely. She loves to watch him entertain her with dancing, singing, and tickling! I'm loving having a little girl to dress and hang with while the boys go to Home Depot, Lowes, and the dump with leaves they raked in the yard.

Aaron and I are thankfully not growing taller and more independent everyday, although I dare say that we are probably becoming more fun. That is based on a random survey, and you are welcome to weigh in with your opinion.

I'm also loving having a little girl to dress and hang with while the boys go to Home Depot and Lowes. However, Alison doesn't seem to enjoy it as much as Sophie June. What gives? And I don't take many photos of Kyle shaving like me. One reason is it is harder to sneak in his house than it is to catch Walker. Still, thanks for the pictures.

Sophie June looks SO cute in that hat! I love it! Walker looks like such a little man, adorable! Having a girl is fun, isn't it? The clothes are so much fun to buy!
