The Christmas Letter
I have always loved Christmas letters. However, I have never
composed one until…Now! What a
wonderful thing to let our loved ones know what we have been up to and the
blessings that have taken place in our lives. I guess with facebook and my blog The Weimer’s
are an open book so to speak, but I do want to take the opportunity to share
our blessings and express gratitude to the Lord for such a wonderful year!
In February we moved to Hermiston Oregon…we are slowly making
our way across Eastern Oregon. My
husband accepted the challenge of working as a production supervisor at
Shearers food. He has a crazy schedule
that includes, working nights, coming home to a rambunctious family, working on
his master’s degree, playing with the kids, giving his wife a break then off to
bed to start it all over again. He works
hard and can be found exhausted and yet cheerful. He continues to follow his dream of writing a
novel.
Our oldest son Dylan Chase (4) has been loving
preschool. He enjoys riding his bike,
building legos and trying to save the Princess via Nintendo DS. He likes rules and likes to enforce them- we
call him our hall monitor because he keeps us all on our toes. Dylan loves life and appreciates the
details. He is gentle and kind and we
are so grateful for the example he sets for his sisters.
Our daughter, Noel Lurie (3), is full of joy. Noel does not walk she bounces. Her passions include necklaces, purses and
kitties. Noel is very independent, she
enjoys doing everything herself. She gets
herself dressed from head to toe and changes outfits many times during the
day. Her laundry pile surpasses us
all. “No No”, as we call her, loves
books, singing and dancing. Noel brings
adventure and laughter to our lives.
Our Newest Arrival, Prestyn Jean (5 Months), is the best
surprise of our lives! Prestyn is such a
sweet baby. I know all baby’s are sweet,
but let me just say we have been blessed with a baby that sleeps through the
night, travels well, eats well and cry’s very little. It sounds too good to be true and if I didn’t
see her sweet smile and hear her little giggles so often, I wouldn’t believe it
myself. We were terrified to have our
third baby, but she has made the transition smooth and her brother and sister
adore her which makes it all so special.
As for me, the wife, the mother, the maker of the home, I
can say it has been a full year! Looking
back makes me smile. We survived a move,
a pincher bug infestation, a pregnancy, the terrible two’s, making new friends
and losing a dear one. Let’s just throw
in losing some hair, gaining a few gray ones, enduring a couple flues, as well
as kid swallowing a penny and we will call it good.
The truth is the good always outweighs the bad. Out of every challenge or heartache, we’ve always
found a blessing to claim. I cannot let
this year go without thanking the Lord for his hand in our lives. The Weimer’s have been richly blessed with
love, babies, joy, opportunity, disappointment, growth and faith.
We send our prayer that this letter finds you well. May the Lord bless you this Holiday season
and may you recognize his hand in your lives.
How grateful we are for this season to remember His birth, His life and
His sacrifice. We truly do wish you a
Merry Christmas.
The Weimers
