Happy New Year!!!

Wow, I can't believe how quickly the holidays went by. It's all kind of a blur. We had a wonderful Christmas with Mark's brother and kids and his mom and dad here. They all arrived on Christmas day. It was so nice to have a white Christmas as well. The kids loved the snow!! And we have already had 2 snow days this new year! The kids got some good sledding in our the hill at the end of our street.
Christmas Eve we did not make it to church because Mark was not feeling well. We stayed home, read the Christmas story around the fire in our pajamas, and then watched "It's a Wonderful Life". What a special night we had even though Mark was using the Sinu-cleanse every 4 hours.
We have so much to be thankful for as we get into this new year.God has blessed Mark's business over the past year with growth, and we pray that He will continue to provide new clients for him this year as well. We have had a bit of a rough time with sickness with Elizabeth this winter, but we are grateful that He continues to heal her as He teaches us to trust Him in all things. She has been on breathing treatments and inhalers pretty much since Thanksgiving. She is such a little trooper and is most of the time a very joyful little girl even though she has not felt well for a good part of this winter.
I am 8 weeks away from delivering our new baby boy- who is officially going to be named Nathanial James Thom! (The kids have all been calling him baby Nathan)He is very active- I think he will be a soccer player by the kicks he gives me at times!
I am set for a c-section on March 12th- and I am sure that will be here before we know it. I am feeling rather huge these days and not sleeping very well. I guess that is the way God prepares new moms for being up every 2-3 hours to feed their newborns.
