Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our family and friends!

We have had a wonderful year. The year started off with a bang as we welcomed our second little boy, Josiah Joel, into our family. He was born February 8th at 11pm. Life with 2 kids has kept us busy.
Craig has continued to work for the company Out On A Limb Tree Service. He stays in shape climbing trees every day! He also fills in during slow times doing projects for family and friends. I (Jennifer) have been blessed with the ability to stay home and raise our kids full-time. I have been involved with a group called MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers)and have loved having a chance to help out with that as well as meet other moms who are in the same stage of life as me. They have become wonderful friends. Isaac turned 3 in June. He is outgoing, loves playing with his friends, and makes us laugh every day. In October Isaac finally gave in to the idea of being potty trained. This is very telling of his personality, once he sets his mind to something it is easily accomplished. From that day on we have only had a couple of accidents. Josiah is now 10 months old. He has the most contagious and beautiful smile and laugh you have ever heard. He is very clingy to mom and dad but lately has been more adventurous with other people. Crawling and cruising along furniture have brought him great freedom and he loves it!
All in all we have had a great year full of hikes, camping, bike rides, family time, naps, and lots of play dates with friends! We feel extremely blessed that you are part of our lives.
This next year we are planning a grand adventure to Guatemala as a family. We hope to leave in February (2 months from now, WOW!) and stay there for 4-6 months. We are still working out some of the details but there are 2 ministries we would like to help out and several friends we would like to visit. It should be exciting and we will let you know more soon as the details unfold.
Thanks for you love, support and prayers.
Love,
Craig, Jennifer, Isaac (3), Josiah (10 months) Pratt
