Another Year Past!

Wow, what can I say. This past year has brought a bunch of changes in the Shaw Family. I worked as a tutor in the public school system with children much less fortunate and in seriously broken homes. I was able to appreciate what we have and to appreciate our families so much more so. Madison's life was changed with the introduction of her baby sister. I was so worried about her behavior and reaction to becoming a big sister and having a baby in the house. But she is an awesome big sister, wanting to help me with most of the difficult tasks, such as bathing her sister or changing her diaper or even spoon feeding her. Anything that can potentially create a mess for me to clean up. Isabella was a much needed person in our lives. She has brought much happieness to our family with her smiles and laughs. And continues to amaze us with her bubbly spirit. She is definetly heaven sent! She is so calm and care free making life so much easier for me since Madison is so demanding and strong willed. God knew I couldn't handle another like her for sure! Anyway, Jeremy is still working away, nothing much changed for him other than adding Isabella to the family. Isabella is trying to crawl now. She gets up on all fours and scoots away and she does the army crawl and the tummy spin (goes in circles). That is just funny b/c it reminds me of a dog chasing its tail. Madison had her wonderful Christmas program at school on December 20th, I have video I'm hoping to post. I'm still trying to learn all the special features on this Blogger and I'm trying to figure out how to post video clips. It may be a while before that is done, but keep checking for posts.
