"Fast" Sledding



We took advantage of the new snowfall and did some sledding at the park across the street from our house today! The boys loved it and wanted to go "fast" again and again! Hopper was chasing us as we slid down the hill-crazy dog! We had our sweet Mia Kei with us as well; she patiently helped the boys down the hill each time. It was a beautiful day to be outside!

New Beginnings

We wish you all a Happy New Year and hope it brings you good health and happiness. Already, for us,this year has started out better than last. We are still trying to get settled here in Salt Lake City. It has been nice to have a fresh start and I know eventually we will have everything in "place"! It really seemed that life was pointing us in a new direction for a long time; we just chose not to listen. We look forward to the challenge of new beginnings despite how difficult it may seem at the time. The monkeys are getting bigger by the day and continue to amaze us with all the new things they say and do. At 2 1/2 they know exactly what they want and how they want it done! They are very busy little boys; always getting into some kind of mischief. But not a day goes by that we don't realize how lucky we are and how beautiful our baby boys are. They make "our world" go 'round! There are so many blessings to be counted. Again, we wish you all the best in '09.
Much love,
The Elliott Family
