Here's our most recent family picture. Aah, will we ever be able to take the elusive "great" family picture where everyone is looking and smiling at the same time:) Probably not anytime soon, that's for sure

Apparently flannel is back in! Kai enjoyed spending the holiday with family he doesn't get to see all that much. Here he is with his cousin Justin.

Speaking of Kai, it's hard to believe that just a year ago there was so much uncertaintly regarding his health and birth. God is truly awesome. Kai is doing amazing; he was nine months old on Christmas day and his midsection is so wide, he can't fit into 6-9 mo. clothes! We're so thankful for this little guy. He's always smiling.

Yes, Illinois got it's first real snow before Christmas. This poor little snowman was Nadia's creation. Unfortunately, it melted the next day.

All the ladies enjoying the snow!
