Jumping Bean

For my 150th post, I wanted to give you all this video of my two-year-old demonstrating just how fearless she is! I know you all know how much we have our hands full here dealing with Avery's strong personality and completely adventurous nature. We have passed this attraction multiple times while at the mall the last few months and today, we finally let Avery try it since she had been very good. This was one happy girl and she surprised the people that run this!! I even had people coming up to me, as she was jumping, asking how old she was-because, you all know how tiny she is!! She has done nothing but talk about jumping again since we left and I really can't wait to take her back!! I love her!!

Just a little prayer request I'd like to throw in (seems like I've been asking for these a lot, I apologize, it has been a busy year!)...A friend of ours (who is an ND grad) just found out she has breast cancer. They found a mass first in her liver before realizing it started in the breast. She just turned 30 years old-that's near the age of most of my readers. Just a few weeks ago we found out a guy Artie graduated high school with has Hodgkin's. We have really been hit with the realization of our own mortality, even at 28 and 30 years old. I know I will really be enjoying my family this year and counting my blessings that the four of us appear to be fairly healthy right now and that, hopefully, the worst is over for my little Spencer. I'm really hoping 2010 brings much more happiness than 2009! Thanks everyone and much love to all of you and your families:)!! xo, Steph
