Christmas Letter 2011


    Merry Christmas!   2011 has been a FULL year to say the least!  Most importantly, we welcomed Corinne Nicole into our family at 2:47am on May 4th.  Daniel got the unexpected opportunity to deliver his first baby!  My labor came on very fast, and we ended up having an unplanned home birth – oops!  Amazingly, Josh and Brielle slept through the whole event!  What an experience!  Corinne is seven months now and such a gift to our family. She is able to sit up, “army” crawl, and can’t get enough of her baby food!  She is quick to smile, very active, and loves attention from her siblings.
    Speaking of the other two rugrats…Joshua turned four this fall and started going to preschool twice a week.  He is doing great in school and loves all things BOY!  Right now he is really into fighting bad guys, swinging, and riding his big boy bicycle.  Joshua ADORES Corinne and is the king of giving her zerberts (raspberries).  Brielle is almost three and likes having “school at her green house” with Mommy as her teacher!  (I still can’t believe she bought into it!)  She loves letters, dancing, being upside down, and twirly dresses!  But, she can also hang with Joshy in the muddy banana tree fort!   They have started playing pretend games together and having their own conversations, which are so fun to eavesdrop on!
    Not too much has changed for Daniel and me.  Daniel continues to enjoy working in the ER, and I’m beyond busy at home!  In the coming year, we are hoping to get into a regular exercise routine, get some special time away together, and continue in the discipleship program at our church.  We are overwhelmed by God’s goodness in our lives!  We wish you all the best for 2012 and much love, joy, and peace in Jesus this Christmas.
With love,
 The Kuders
