Happy New Year!  We hope you all had a wonderful, peaceful and safe holiday season and New Year!  We all had a great time together as we all had the holiday week off so we got to spend really good quality time together. The kids had a great Hanukah and Josh even learned to say Hanukah, which is the cutest. Every night we would light the menorah he would say it.  We also had a great time in celebrating the Christmas holidays with Jess’s family.  It was a really great and warm time.  The kids are doing so much I do not even know where to start.  Joshua is just the most amazing little boy in the entire world.  He is so sweet and gentle, charismatic, charming and a total flirt.  He flirts with everyone.  He is saying everything to the point where he will mimic everything you say so we are being more careful about how many times a day we drop the “F” bomb around the kids.  Josh is like 34 pounds and 3 feet tall.  He is huge and muscular.  He loves his baby sister who he calls, Kiki - because when he was smaller he could not say Maya or baby and Kiki just kind of stuck.  We have found however that he calls all babies, Kiki, but no baby girl is like our wonderful, amazing baby Kiki.  Maya is absolutely amazing.  She is the prettiest little thing you have ever laid your eyes on.  She is 8 months old and she just stood up for the first time today!  She has been pulling herself up on everything, but today she really did it.  She has the most beautiful face and I do not think we have heard her cry yet!  The child never cries.  She is so amazed by everything she sees around her and you can tell she is a thinker.  She loves to take it all in.  She is saying the normal DA DA DA, MA MA MA with her tongue sticking out always as she is about to pop a tooth any day now.  She is loving her meats and veggies and fruits, eating her puffs and cheerios, running in the walker, crawling everywhere, sleeping soundly and playing all day long! 

We are so blessed to have these wonderful, god given children.  They are the best two children anyone could wish or hope for.  A lot of people tell us what great parents we are.  I gotta give it to the kids, they are so good, they make it look easy.  More to come in 2007 however, no babies this year from us, sorry to disappoint anyone!  We are going to wait a few more years!  Will keep everyone posted as these babies continue to grow and grow and grow.

Happy 2007 to you and your family!

Love

Jess, Steve, Josh and Maya
