We're so blessed this past year with God's constant provision in our lives. We're thankful for the healthy birth of Ben and for Eli's kind heart toward his brother. He cannot wait to wrestle Ben when he's older!
They are both changing so fast. Ben is 5 months now and Eli turned two at the end of Oct. Despite the 'terrible two's' Eli has been manageable, thank God. :) Disciplining is new and a challenge, but it is going well and we're all learning. Eli is talking a lot more and that makes things so much easier for all of us! His favorite thing right now is helping mommy in the kitchen-weather it be baking, cooking or dishes, he drags a chair on over and climbs up to see how he can help. He also enjoys painting right now, though I now know not to take his shirt off as his belly becomes the canvas! Ben is a bundle of energy and is close to rolling over. Next month we'll start him on solids. Ben absolutely loves his brother. Eli never ceases to get a smile out of him :)
We're in town for this Christmas, spending it with my family (jaymie). We're currently trying to get over a really bad cold that I first got almost 2 weeks ago this sunday. Now, it's just making the rounds through the family :( So, we've been laying low and trying to get better and NOT get anyone else sick.
We hope this next year brings you joy and peace that surprises all understanding, through Jesus :) Thanks friends for your Christmas photos and letters. We love reading them and seeing what God has done in your lives this past year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
love,
The Courters
