Merry Christmas!

We drove to my parents' house on Tuesday night (in a snowstorm, of course) and had crazy weather the entire week: freezing rain, dense fog, 60 degree temps, and 40 mph winds! We are so grateful for safe travels! Emerson had a wonderful time playing with Grandma, Grandpa, and her aunts, uncles, and cousins while we were there. She wasn't all that excited about the gifts, but she loved ripping off wrapping paper, opening boxes, and throwing tissue paper all over the living room! She was a little copycat this week...she said "tractor", "baa-paa" (grandpa), "bye bye", and "rock rock". We had lots of fun!

Kristine!!! It's Marlana! I'm finally trying to get a bit more connected now that we're more settled here in Guatemala and Anabella is a few months old. You know how those first few weeks go. I can't tell you how excited I am to see pictures of Emreson and see your family. Oh, how I miss the Ross family! You guys are so special. I showed Chad your blog with Emerson and said...that' the girl I prayed for...for so long and she is the cutest!!! (so many people prayed for, I should say!:) Are you still teaching? Missing you!
