Christmas letter

For those of you who didn't receive it, here is our Christmas letter from this year. If you'd like to be placed on our mailing list for next year, leave me your address!

Another year has passed us by
and once again we stop to try
To tell our friends just what is new
and all the things our kids can do

Our biggest news and greatest joy
is that we had our second boy
Yes, Levi Jones has been his name
and spitting up has been his game

Now Levi likes to crawl a lot
but still a tooth he hasn't got
He likes to play with brother Jake
it seems good friends these boys do make

And Jacob Jones is still unique
oh man, oh man, he likes to speak
His favorite game is wrestle Dad
when Brad gets home he is so glad

Our Jake has been a good big brother
he's working on obeying mother
Last summer ditched his daily naps
he much prefers to run in laps

This year the boys have done so much
each day our lives and hearts they touch
We also have some news from Brad
this year again he was a grad!

At last completely done with school
he has more time, this is so cool!!
Now weekly Frisbee gets to play
and wrestle boys at end of day

The job Brad has his really great
so all that school was worth the wait
Rebecca likes the hours too
more family time was overdue

Rebecca's job has changed a bit
there are some days she'd like to quit
With two boys now who go and go
she mutitasks, she is a pro

She likes to budget and she cooks,
but more than that, she likes good books!
Massage she gets for all her work
with Brad's new job, this is her perk

In Springfield it's so nice to be
with lots of family we now see
It seems that we are home at last
our future's here as is our past

We want to wish you all the best
and hope your lives the Lord does bless

Love,
The Jones Family (2009)

Cute letter! We spend a lot of time wrestling at our house too :) Anyway, I don't think I have your email address. I thought it was connected to your blog invite but it's not. So if you could get me yours.... just leave me a message on facebook.
