This semester has been crazy for our little family! Chris has had a pretty tough class schedule and work on top of that, and I have been busy with Sam, house keeping, and my calling! I have been blessed to learn so much. I am finding myself growing so much in ways I never expected (and not just because I'm pregnant). I love seeing Samantha learn new things everyday and can't wait to see her as a big sister! I am amazed at the things she has taught me! I have realized the importance of acting on the things I know to be right instead of waiting for things to happen around me. We have all been learning and growing so much and I am so grateful for the hard times and trials that have helped us do so. I'm so grateful for Chris and his dedication and hard work in all things, as well as his great love of the gospel and our family! I'm grateful for Samantha, her bright smile, and her unwavering, unconditional love of me and all of my faults! And finally, I'm grateful to be expecting another wonderful addition to our family and that so far things are going and growing very well! I know I'm a little late sharing the things that I'm grateful for but better late than never, right! We had a great Thanksgiving that we spent with some friends and their family. We are so excited for Christmas and the opportunity to see our family in Washington. I added an ultrasound picture from my 12 week ultrasound of baby #2 (I know its not very recent) but I will add an updated one in a few weeks!
