Merry Christmas from the Sheldon's












We have somehow managed to survive the artic blast of 2008 at the Sheldon house. As beautiful as the snow is we are anxiously awaiting it's departure as our cabin fever has become unbearable. We have gotten out for several walks and enjoyed some serious down time, but alas, we are ready to do something away from home! We are looking forward to some time with friends and family over the next two weeks of Christmas vacation. We have planned trips to Lebanon and then over to Central Oregon. So we hope you and your families all enjoy a wonderful Christmas with safe travels, good food, and fellowship in this season of joy and remembrance of Christ's birth. So a Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Love,
Amy, Sydney, David and Toby

Unto us a child is born....

Go Ducks! What a game.......Yes, Sydney's bow is almost as big as her head. Thanks Malaika!!!
Brian, your special apprearances in our photo was less than amusing!! Thank goodness for cropping!

Sydney showed real promise with the Christmas lights!!! Her dad needed lots of help fixing all of the burnt out bulbs!!!

Tongues were made for sticking out!!!
Round Two: Technology 1 point - Amy 1 point
Enjoy some of Sydney's Squawks!!!








November has been a busy month for Sydney. She is now rolling over, standing up (with a little help) and talking up a storm!!! She loves sucking on her hands and is producing enough drool to keep Oregon from facing a drought this year. She is so interested in the world around her and wants to be up and going!!! I am not sure how I will get anything done once she is mobile!!! Better start looking for a good housekeeper now.....

We had a great Thanksgiving. David got a much needed break from school and wrestleing and we were able to get some good family time in, oh and we ate a ton too!!! We have the tree and the lights up on the house and I am working on the inside Christmas decorations. As Sydney experiences her first Christmas we are struck with how important it is to teach her the true meaning of this holiday. We have a whole new perspective on the joy and wonder of childbirth and hope to share with her the true SPIRIT of the season!!!

Look for more posts soon. Sydneys weighs in next week, and we have some Christmas pictures that I will load!!!
