Welcome 2008

I hope you all are enjoying a wonderful new year. We celebrated New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with Jon's parents, Mike, Evelyn, Sophia, Nathanael, Luke, and Timothy. Here are a few pictures from our time together.

Aunt Evelyn helped Talia play the piano. Talia enjoyed hearing the music and touching the keys, but it might be a while before she can press the keys herself.

Nathanael worked hard constructing several objects, including this robot mouse.

We enjoyed many hours of Wii. Sophia challenged Uncle Jon to baseball.

On Wednesday Jon and Mike went to Stockton. Evelyn, Sophia, Nathanael, Luke, and Timothy came by our house to visit with the girls. Talia had a great time playing with her cousins and aunt.

She also cuddled with them. Nathanael proved he was an experienced older brother.

Luke spoke and sang so sweetly to Talia.

Sophia demonstrated her many years of baby care as the big sister in her family.

After Talia went down for a nap we played in our yard. Nathanael climbed a few trees.

We all enjoyed the swing.

We had a great time. Our cup runneth over!

We pray that your year will be filled with many blessings!
