3 am Sweetheart

The other night Kiya woke us up at 3 in the morning wanting water. Ryan got up with her and got her some water. When he came back to bed he brought me a glass of water and turned on the celing fan. I thought that this was so thoughtful and sweet of him. He had recognized that I was sleeping without any covers (thanks to the fact that I get like a polar bear when I am pregnant). When I asked him why the water and the fan he said that obvioulsy I was hot and he wanted me to be able to sleep with covers and that being hot might make me thirsty as well. Who would have seen this coming at 3 in the morning. I wouldn't process all of that at 3 am. So good job dear husband for making me feel so loved at such an early hour.

Happy Birthday Ryan!!

Happy 27th Birthday!




What an great person you have grown up to be.
We love you and all the things you do for us!

Christmas fun!

We had a really wonderful Christmas. Ryan's family was able to be with us for a few days, and this year Kiya knew all about Christmas. She knew that is was Jesus' birthday, and she also knew that Santa was going to come and bring her presents. She told us on a number of occasions that Santa was going to come down the chimmney with Rudolf and leave presents for her. It was really cute.

On christmas morning she told us she was sure she heard santa on the roof top and made Grandpa take her outside to check the roof for santa.

In all the unwrapping excitement ( she was helping everyone unwrap their gifts) Kiya gained a paper tail.

She was so excited to open her presents. The look on her face with each present was of sheer joy.
