Christmas

Merry Christmas!

On Christmas eve Phil, Rosie and I brought hot chocolates and snacks, and drove around Peterborough looking at Christmas lights. We also drove out into the countryside a little to peek at a house we might rent. :S

Since Rosie is so young, did presents on Christmas morning this year.... I got a couple of presents and called them "From Micah" for Phil's dad, and for Phil <3 This is the last Christmas we will spend without knowing our son! :D so nice to think of that.

I miss my family and friends a lot.

Rosie charmed everyone at a big family gathering in Pickering, she was such a trooper. Got some great pix of her dressed in her Indian outfit that Aunty Elly gave her last Christmas.... gotta put some on FB.

Of course, I missed like a thousand great photo ops throughout the day, cuz I was too lazy to have the camera out, but it's OK, we have a more intimate family do happening on Wednesday. We'll take our Christmas family picture then, along with a whole bunch of cute Rosie and Dani pictures!

I'm sitting and watching my belly shiver as Micah kicks and stretches, he's such a sweetheart. I don't know if I've gotten more used to his movement and notice it less, or if he's calmed down some in the last month. I remember feeling him all the time when I first could, but lately it seems like he's pretty laid back. Nothing to worry about, he still has bursts of energy and is awake at relatively predictable times of day, but he's not he crazy gymnast he once was. I guess getting older and heavier will do that to ya, sure did it to me! ;)

Looking forward to in 2012:

SETTING UP MY OWN HOUSE!
Holding my son
Fostering
Getting a kitten
Having some chickens/ducks/quail for eggs and eating
Having some rabbits for eating
maybe *MAYBE* (still undecided) getting a dog if the perfect one comes up for free at the perfect time. Rosie would love that so much! *I wants a beagle!
Whatever God brings, in His time, in His way.... it'll be awesome to see!
