Christmas and Zoe


Phil and I have now learned why our parents were not as excited about Christmas as we were. Naps are no where in sight, presents upon presents to eat, and a series of church services and get-togethers that made bedtimes negotiable. But we did it, our first Christmas home with Zoe, we survived and she of course is no worse for wear. Regardless of the chaos that surrounded the day, we were happy to celebrate Jesus' birthday, singing hymns, and tell of this event to Zoe. How truly blessed we all our because of his birth and the sacrifice he made for us all.

All the festivities did push around around our normal routine but Zoe was ready to get back to work with her physical therapy appointment. The therapist was happy to see Zoe getting better at sitting up on her own and her assisted rolls becoming quicker. We hope with some more strengthening exercises we can get both of these to become unassisted completely. Zoe is also doing well with her feeding despite still having a stuffy nose and nagging cough. We continue to introduce new table foods as she as lost more interest in cereals and purees. So far she enjoys potatoes, chicken and beef broth, noodles, and grown up cereal. We continue to thank God for the success that Zoe has already made and patiently anticipate what the future holds for her.

We hope that you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. We surely did.

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christa the Lord. Luke 2:11

Dear little Zoe - it is wonderful to see all the progress that you have made in the last year. We eagerly await this next year to watch your accomplishments. Soon you will be trying some of Dave's creations (Tongue Tacos anyone?).

Have a blessed New Year. God Bless.
