Merry Christmas!

Dear Friends & Family:

We are so thankful for all of you!!! Each one of you has helped us through our last 15 months of separation, and we can't tell you enough how much we love you and thank God for you!!!!

It's hard to believe JP has only been home now for a little over three weeks, and yet we have celebrated Thanksgiving, Christimas in Colorado with Amy's family, our 10 year anniversary (can you believe it??), Christmas in Tennessee just the 3 of us (I mean the 7 of us including all the animals), and in a few days we'll be traveling to Arkansas for an Arnold Christmas. We are so thankful to have a full season of celebrations for there is much to celebrate!! God has truly been good to us this year keeping JP safe, giving Olivia and I such wonderful family support, and now being back together again hopefully for good...yet knowing that God is good even when what happens is different from what we expect or hope!!!

Here are a few pictures from the last three weeks for you to enjoy (0:

Our little princess went from tutu to Handy Manny within about 30 minutes at Amy's parents' house while opening Christmas gifts.

Okay, so Amy's family are die hard Denver Bronco fans, and I knew we had been doing a proper job of getting Olivia on board when we got back to Tennessee and when she saw me throwing her jersey in the wash she said, "I want to be a Bronco!"

It snowed a couple of inches while we were in Colorado, so JP broke out the sled and took Olivia for a ride down Cooper Hill (Amy's parents' front yard). We had to bundle her up really well even though it was right out front because the temperatures were barely hovering above zero at the heat of the day...dropping well below zero at night. It wasn't Montanna cold, but definitely unusually cold for Colorado!!!
