As expected it was a joyful Christmas albeit exhausting as Kathie and I struggled to stay awake past 8pm. And Audrey was struggling to sleep past 3am. But she eventually came around and has been sleeping through the night, w/ one wake up for a quick rocking. Audrey was an expert "rip and tearer". It was fun to watch her watch her brothers and sisters. It was also fun to have family on either side of Christmas day but still have Christmas day to ourselves. We exercised an experiment in "delayed gratification", the kids had to go to Church at 8am before present opening. They handled it very well and we had bright sunshine to open gifts too. In fact, it had an Easter morning feel outside.
We had a milestone this past week too. Audrey stopped cruising and has taken to full out walking. A bit of a side step, arm in the air orangutan move, but efficient as heck. She has so far avoided crashing into the dogs and visa versa.
Happy New Year to you all, we honestly can't wait to make 2008 as blessed and fulfilling as 2007!
