Our time is now short, just six months until
We pack up our stuff and move yet again
This time will be nice, much closer to in.
Yes, we have a job right back in Missouri.
It's nice to know now, and not have to worry.
It's been seven years since we moved away,
And once we move back, we're hoping to stay.
Now we have some news, if you haven’t heard,
A new baby boy, that is the word!
Grows bigger each day, in April he’s due,
To meet Mom and Dad, and of course Jacob too.
Brad goes to church at our Spanish branch.
He works less this year, he still doesn’t dance.
Loves pizza and Frisbee and is still a nice guy.
His favorite new thing is that we’ve joined the Y!
Becca is pregnant all over again.
Loves her blog and her books and her two and a half men.
Likes spreadsheets and thrift and much organization.
But her dream for some day is a beach-side vacation.
And Jacob is learning so much every day,
It seems that he always has something to say.
He talks and he talks, which means he’s not dumb.
We’ve heard it’s a trait that he gets from his Mum.
Little Jake likes to jump and to sing and to run.
Brad he calls “Dear” and Rebecca is “Hun”.
Likes fire trucks, dinosaurs, tools, and a rock.
But it seems most of all, that he likes to talk.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good year.
Best wishes to you and to those you hold dear.
Love,
Brad, Rebecca & Jacob
