Happy new year! I can't believe it's the last day of 2008 already! Where has all the time gone?! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve in Hudson with Joe's family. We went to church and then came home to share good food and great gifts. It's really fun the see the excitement on our nieces' faces as they open gifts and play with them. On Christmas day we went to Ottumwa to spend a few days with my family. We had a lot of great food there too as well as some awesome gifts. We feel truly blessed to have such wonderful family.
We also had our 32 week appointment on Christmas Eve. Everything looked good and I'm scheduled to go back on the 7th for another check up. It won't be long and baby Urb will be here. I think we're pretty much ready for him. We have a lot of the gear set up and Joe is going to install the carseat this week so we're ready when the big day or night arrives! Here are a couple of pictures we took last week. They show me 32 weeks pregnant for all of you who haven't seen me in awhile!
Joe is busy with basketball. The team is doing well. They are undefeated going into Christmas break. We've had a couple close ones, but for the most part the wins have been easy so far. Hopefully the success carries over after break. When we go back to school on Jan. 5th the schedule really heats up. Joe has a game everyday except for Wednesday and Sunday that week, so it will be busy!
Well that is all the news from Tripoli for now. We hope everyone has a safe and happy new year and we look forward to seeing you in 2009!
