The Elusive Hunt for the Perfect Tree



For Family Home Evening the entire clan headed to the Christmas Tree farm. We let the kids run around like crazy and animals and Sebrina and I eventually found the "perfect" tree!

Jacob Henry Woodland was born on February 1st weighing 7 pounds 5 ounces. We are so happy that he has joined our family. He has made Heaven feel so close. From the moment we saw him, Mark and I have known that he has a special, peaceful spirit about him. He has been an angel and we have never had such a relaxed happy baby! And yes, we needed it. Three children in three and a half years feels like a marathon that you are having to sprint! But it is so joyful---spitup and all-- and when you look at these precious ones, you can only feel grateful for the miracle of life that God has given us! It is hard to believe that he has blessed us with four!

Sarah was very excited to be going to Primary with her big brother for the first time. For those of you who are wondering what I'm talking about, at our church before they are three years old, the children go to Nursery where they basically play. But then they go to what most would call Sunday School with the older children. The sunday school class for three year-olds is called Sunbeams.

This was in January and of course Sarah doesn't have shoes on, but at least we got two of our children to stand still together long enough for a picture!

I just had to put this picture of Jeff in, even though it's from January because let's face it: He spends a lot of time in what Sarah has named his "car throne"!
