Masselink Christmas Party

Whew! This is a long one...here goes...

On Saturday we hosted the annual Masselink christmas party...last christmas party of the season!! The big gift of the day was to the boys of the family. A trip down to MIS (Michigan Speedway) to do some "Track Time" with actual race cars. We can't wait to go watch! Adalynn got a beautiful sweater hand knit by Great-grandma Lynn, as well as toys, books, and a cute sleeper. She slept nearly the whole time and loved being held by Great-grandma Lynn and Grandpa Ed.

Thanks, everyone, for such a great Christmas time. We are so blessed to be able to spend time with those we love and who love us. Thank God for these times to make splendid memories.

Catch Up Pictures...

Ok, so I have some pictures to post to catch up on what else has been going on.

1. Last Friday, 1.4.o7, Adalynn got her first stroller ride outside while I got to run. It feels so good to be back on the road.

2. Last Thursday (ok, so these are Not in chronological order!) Adalynn's cousins, Nik, Caleb, and Keagan came over to play for the day, and then our friends Sarah and Josh brough Josh's son Kaleb over to play as well. Nik and Caleb sledded with Uncle T while the girls napped and watched Dora. Then, at night we went to Chuck E Cheese. (that was wild). All of the kids were fabulous and had a good time. Nik and Caleb are such good big brothers!











3. The Adalynn Picture of the Day...using her walker for the first time! K, so maybe her feet don't touch the ground yet, but she'll grow into it.




Just one more thing....the dreaded 'return to work day' is 1.28.07. I'm very thankful that I only have to go back part time, but it's going to be hard! Before I return though, I have some things I need to do. Like 1) finish the last book of the Harry Potter series. Seriously, I haven't yet (pathetic) due to pregnancy hormones. It got intense and I couldn't handle it!! 2) get my CIMI (certified infant massage instructor) certification. It's in the works, just have to train one more mom. While I'm listing things I want to do....in 2008 my resolutions are to 1) run another half marathon - would love to do the rock 'n' roll in Nashville again, or maybe this fall in W. Virginia. 2) get more involved at church, read the Bible in a year (our young marrieds class is doing this). 3) conduct some infant massage classes. 4) continue the monthly 'saturday morning breakfast club'. love ya girls! 5) help Trav finish the basement. and to have some awesome bonfires. and to enjoy our house. and spend time 'in the present' with Adalynn and Travis. and other friends and family!


Here's to 2008!
