Stream of consciousness....

I don't have anything really riveting to say lately. Except I love my family. Even when everything in my little corner of the world seems like complete chaos, my littles keep me grounded. They keep me centered, on task, and remembering to feel joy each day, and give lots of kisses. Isn't that what this life is about anyway, love? Loving littles, loving my husband, loving my parents, loving my family, loving my friends, loving. Indeed, I think so.

And a tremendous THANK YOU to all those family and friends who have prayed for us, sent meals, gift cards, flowers, and love. We appreciate everything. Thank you notes are stashed away in my brain, yet to be written or mailed, but they go something like this, "Thank you for being you, for loving us, and loving our family. God has blessed us greatly with support from you."

We are waiting, waiting for the joy of a new member of our family anytime now. Waiting for Baby Bjork #3 to join us...hang in there Lindzy! We love you.

And now, a photographic update of our life the past 3 weeks, enjoy.

Halling Christmas

We enjoyed some time in Rochester Monday through Thursday to celebrate Christmas with Nana and Papa. Although Papa was in the hospital we were so blessed to be together as a family with Kristen and John too. We had some hard times in regards to Papa's health but being together made it much better! Prayers for Papa! We just love him so much!

Gabe shows Nana how to open a gift - he wasn't sure if she knew how.

Isn't Noah one of the best gifts of 2010?

Gabe scares Nana with a mask found in Papa's closet. Why does Papa have this anyway?

Seems appropriate at times ;)

Jones Christmas

We had an excellent Christmas morning at the Bjorks. Grandpa and Grandma were there to join in the fun and we all loved, prayed, gifted, and ate. What a fun day!
