First Baby Pic

Here's the first ultra sound of our baby. We're scheduled for another ultra sound session on the Monday of Christmas week.

Hey all,

Thanks for those of you who read my email and checked out or exciting blog! I have gotten a couple comments about the picture being ridiculously large, which I agree with! I've been trying to figure it out but I figure mostly Joel will be the one working on that;-) Thanks again friends! Stay warm, it's been a white out here in NH since we woke up!

Love,
Jenn

The holidays

Hello again and still trying to figure out this blog thing. As of now I don't think I've told anyone about our blog because I forgot about it for a few weeks:-p Not used to blogging I guess. Anyway, we are very much looking forward to moving down to Penn State as well as Joel's completion at his full-time job here in Durham. It's a bittersweet time because although we're excited for what lies ahead we will miss this area so much! It just snowed the first time here the other day and it was gorgeous outside. I also got to visit the ocean for probably the last time in what will be quite a while. It's crazy what you notice in an every-day place once you're about to leave it.

In other news I'm finally out of my flu-like state and now am just tired from just being pregnant all the time. It's so strange how weak I feel after walking down the street to the grocery store and back! I guess that's normal though. I'm looking forward to when I can work out regularly and longer than 20 minutes again. In the meantime, I'm just trying to find joy during my hormonal lows. Thankfully the holiday season is a great reminder of why we should be thankful and joyful for Jesus coming in human form to liberate us, and Joel has been a joy to me as well. I hope once people are able to read this they know how much we love and appreciate them, and that I don't start treating this like a journal. It could get a bit awkward after that.

Merry Christmas, Christ has come!
Jenn
