This is a special thanks to Gamma and Boppy for letting us live with them. We are truly blessed to have a warm place to relax, sleep and do school work. I think these days, Clara is especially grateful for the warm house to come back into. She has a lot of fun in the snow but now when we say "go to bed" (means that we want her to go downstairs into her crate) she will do it without hesitation. So, thank you again Gamma and Boppy! From all of us!

I just wanted to Thank BJ for all his wonderful support and help as a Daddy. He does countless things to help me when my hands are full with Ray or I just want to finish something I have started (that is usually when Ray puts up a stink). The best thing is Ray is sleeping in his own crib for over a week now...and BJ made it all possible. He held me and comforted me as Ray had to "cry it out" in the beginning and now BJ holds the 4 night-in-a-row record for being the one to get Ray to sleep. I love you BJ! Good luck on your second week of school tomorrow!

Our Week
Yesterday Ray crawled up the stairs on his own! I had gone upstairs to get somethings started while Ray was sleeping with BJ in the bed. I guess Ray was a bit fussy and BJ put him down on the floor to play (he loves to crawl right off the bed). Next thing I know he is upstairs with me!
BJ is back in School! He is taking 14 credits at Florissant Valley College. He goes all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He works at home doing Homework on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday he has had everything done and can start to enjoy the weekend.
Thursday Emily had a Doctor's appointment so we took the boys to the History Museum. It was a blast! I had never been in a museum quite like it.
Looking toward the entrance from the second floor where we spent most of our time. They have things set up so that children can explore, touch and learn...it was really fun, and a lot of walking
We took a drinking break to rest up a bit before going downstairs.

Josh and Jack learning:)
Fun Times
We have already made some fun memories for 2009.
It is always an adventure to feed Ray
The first weekend of the year we traveled to Pittsburgh for a family funeral. Here's what Ray looked like as we where leaving the house for the 10 plus hour car ride:
We did get to stop and see the Columbus, Ohio Temple:
This is the reflection of the temple in the Dodge Charger we rented for the trip...BJ and I don't recommend to buy this car...ask us if you need to know specifics.

We finally made it! It was fun to see where BJ's parents lived, met, and became members of the church...it was cool to see the rivers and bridges and all of BJ's relatives.

Over all, the last 100 miles where the toughest, they always are, because Ray didn't want to be in the car another minute!
So the next week we decided to do something closer to home. We went to the Science Center here in St. Louis. Grace, David, Emily, Rob, and all the boys were there.

I special thanks to Gamma and Boppy for watching all five of the boys while all the parents got to relax at the Temple and go out to dinner!
We finally made it! It was fun to see where BJ's parents lived, met, and became members of the church...it was cool to see the rivers and bridges and all of BJ's relatives.
I think the boys favorite part was knocking it down.
Catch up
Well, I needed to get a lot of pictures posted and hopefully catch everyone up.
This is our family photos we did for Christmas Cards...if you didn't get a card let me know!
Ray with Santa...I need to scan the pictures we had done at the Mall they are so cute. Ray cuddled up into to the Santa's Beard and we got a group picture with all his cousins.
But he finally fell asleep in our bed waiting:
