January Update

Josiah has taken up art with his first crayon composition and the fingerpainting shown below. He is now taking several steps at a time, but still figuring out balance while walking. He just got his 3rd tooth and some of his favorite words (sign language) are airplane, lion, fish, bird, more, all done, book, drink, cracker, please, and thank you. He is a little fireball of energy.



Mary's art has transformed into recognizable objects. It has been fun to watch her blossom and she has so much fun being creative! Below is a photo of us enjoying snow ice-cream and hot cocoa. She loves puzzles and games. One of her favorites is to play hide and seek in the dark with a flashlight. She is such a joy.



Our family was blessed with a new member in December! Here is a photo of our new niece Alissa Anne and proud big brother David.



Finally, we are moving soon. Aaron has accepted an operations manager position with Amazon.com in Phoenix. This was not an easy decision and we are grateful for the support we have received from everyone. We are excited for the season ahead, but we are in no hurry to rush these last few weeks as we spend time with friends and family while getting ready to make the transition.
