h wondering awe the wise men saw
The star in heaven springing,
And with delight, in peaceful night,
They heard the angels singing:
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!With wondering awe we look back on the past year…
Darrel completed the didactic portion of his studies in June and began his hospital rotations at Mercy Hospital. He enjoys the practical application of working with patients and staff. There is great anticipation for graduation in November of 2011.
Nicole and her travels… Caribou, Bar Harbor, and Bethel just to name a few in Maine; the Lake Winnipesaukee Region, the scenic Kangamangus Highway and the Upper Valley Region all in New Hampshire; Newport, Rhode Island and three trips to Maryland.
Daryl Cinnamon turned 6 in November. She also lost her first tooth on September 30. She learned to swim this summer and LOVES the water. She is now learning to skate on the ice and thinks hockey is great. She’s quite the DIVA as she wants her nails painted and is into lip gloss.
Corey turned 4 in January. On a visit to the Portland Art Museum, Corey reported that he likes museums that he can play in better. He really enjoys our regular visits to the Children’s Museum in Dover, New Hampshire. He has developed a love for animals, especially for two Cairn Terriers named Remy and Dooley who live nearby.
Nicolas turned 4 in January. This summer, he learned to ride a two-wheeler without training wheels. He would watch movies all day if his mom let him. Nic is quick on his feet and quick to explain why he should be allowed to do certain things that his mom does not want him to do (i.e. climb onto the kitchen counter and scale the bookcase).
Spencer turned 3 in November. He and Lilly are playmates and he calls Lucas his little buddy. He loves to wrestle with his big brothers and still stays close to mom all day. In addition to egg, milk and soy, Spencer is now allergic to wheat.
Lilly turned 1 in May. She learned to walk in July and she has been running since August. Her vocabulary is expanding but her favorites words are Mama, Daddy, Corey, No, and Yes. At Halloween we found out that she LOVES candy!
Lucas is our newest addition. He joined our family on August 2nd. His smile is contagious and he lights up the room. He is a pleasant baby who receives lots of love and attention from his older siblings. We are blessed to have him as part of our family.
The heavenly star its rays afar
On every land is throwing,
And shall not cease till holy peace
In all the earth is growing.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna to his name!
