Happy holidays everyone -
Well, we have just endured our first snowstorm of the year - and it was a record for 24 hour accumulation... 24 inches in 24 hours. Jody spent the better part of 3 days plowing and Jace tasted his first snowflakes. Buddy dog just ran around and tried to find all of his toys that he left in the yard before the snow fell. We put up our Christmas tree and, surprisingly, Jace has not pulled it down. He actually ignored it for the first week and now he lightly touches the branches and the soft stuffed ornaments that we put down at his level. We thought that he would be hanging from the limbs by now. Jace isn't quite walking yet but he shows off by standing on his own for up to 10 seconds and he is doing a bit of furniture walking. He runs his little shopping cart all over the house and now thinks it is pretty funny to run it into the tree. He makes us laugh constantly and we just can't imagine a single day without him.

Love to you all - wish we could see all of you over this holiday time,
Jen, Jody, and Jace
