And Max makes Five!

Wow, we've had 5 healthy beautiful babies in our family this year! (No, not our little family, but as my kids would say in our big family!)  My sister Tesha had the last of the arrivals on Dec 13 -- a boy, Maxwell James Garvin.  What a blessing, and great outcrying of thanks.  I pray that God might protect each one as they grow and raise them up as children of His own.

. . . just a quick recap of who joined our family this year. . . Gibson Martin (to Joel and Alison) in March, Ella Michalik (to Steve and Libby) in April, Peter Hartman (to us!) in July, Marisol Edris (to Tim and Anna) in November, and Maxwell Garvin (to Bob and Tesha) in December.  We should see everyone over the holidays so hopefully we'll get some good 2008 Baby pictures.  . . . and coming next year. . . ???  . . .  no, no announcements of any pregnancies, but my dad is adding to the family by marriage in March!  So we will be welcoming Janet to our family in 2009.

A few photos of the family. . .

Peter at almost 5 months.

At least an attempt at a Hartman kid photo!  Ella, Jenna, Audrey, Esther, Peter, Kaelyn, and Stevie.

Anna, Tim, and Marisol! -- at Thanksgiving.

And all the kids at Thanksgiving -- Peter, Jenna, Grant, Esther, Marisol, Kaelyn (and Lami), Will, Lincoln, and Gib!!

. . . and no pictures of Max yet . . . you have to check out Tesha's blog to see them.  I haven't gotten to see him or hold him yet (sad face!) ... but hopefully before the new year.

What?!

What's this about your Dad? Please send me all the details and his Email address.

5 beautiful babies! That is a lot to be thankful for. Micah & Christie was expecting in March.

Merry merry Christmas to you each one.
