2007 Christmas Holiday weekend!

Christmas this year was a sleepy one as Annya's mommy wasn't feeling well. Annya however took advantage of the situation and decided to catch a few winks in her beautiful little crib which was hand made by her great grandfather(Lee Dunbar).

The day(s) was finished off by an exhilarating ride on a hand made horse rocker constructed with lots of love by Annya's uncle Jason R.

Sleeeeeeeepy little Annya!

Our Precious Gift

Tim and I rejoice this Christmas in the birth of our sweet daughter. For she is a blessed reminder of our Savior. He was sent to us as a gift just as she was. The most precious gift we have ever been given. Yet sweeter still is the gift of Jesus Christ because with His birth He has brought eternal life, hope, true peace and abundant joy. Without Him we have nothing and our life is empty. We pray that as you celebrate this Christmas may you think upon His sacrifice and the precious gift He is. For He too was a babe with sweet little feet and tiny little hands. But as He grew He knew that He could not hold His life so dear, but that He must forsake it that He might give life to all mankind. Let us, as a gift to our Lord surrender our all this Christmas. Withholding nothing, let us be His hands and feet this year to those who have not yet received this precious gift of Jesus.

Have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Tim, Sasha & Annya

Morning Sunrise

"The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament shows his handiwork...

...The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

The statutes of the Lord are right rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;

The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold.

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb...

...let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight,

O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

Psalms 19 (in part)

Ice Storm...

Tim Took a lot of pictures that morning and here are a few of my favorites!

One Month Old

Annya was a month on Sunday! Wow it's hard to believe! She's doing well as are we! We enjoy her more each day and are constantly overwhelmed by the blessing she is in our lives!!!

I just love my little lady...

"Tim's Girls"

That's what he calls us, his girls! And I just love being one of them!!!

Thank you God for all you've given me I am so thankful!

Annya Kisses Mama...

My first Kiss!!!

Well actually I thought she was done nursing but when I brought her to my shoulder to burp she promptly latched on to my cheek. :) When she realized it was dry she tried my nose and seemed rather amazed that after all that effort neither produced anything. :)

She made my day... in fact she makes every day brighter then the one before!

She's growing and changing so much!

She's really starting to pay attention to us!

A couple nights ago I ate a piece of chocolate and I think I gave her a buzz. She was wide awake for over 4 hours. I love having fellowship with my little peanut...but by 3:30 I wasn't enjoying it as much as she seemed to be. :)

We are all doing well. Thank you so much for your prayers. I am still in the recovery process but am much better then I was three weeks ago. I never imagined how long it would take to get back to normal.

God has been so good to us and we praise Him daily for the precious little angel He's given us!

I also want to say THANK YOU to my amazing husband who is so kind and loving! Thank you babe for taking such good care of your girls! I appreciate your dedication to getting up every morning at 4:50 and going to work out in the cold to keep us warm and cozy!!!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
