I will try to update the blog more regularly…That’s my New Years Resolution. It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything – sorry about that. Life was a little crazy in the Terpstra household around the holidays. We had lots of parties to attend, and we were trying to unpack and get settled into our new house at the same time. It feels like we’re finally settling into a routine, and most of the unpacking is done. There are just a few pictures that still need to be hung up and a couple closets to organize.
We are really enjoying our “new” house. It’s the biggest house we’ve ever lived in, and it’s so nice to spread out. It’s been great for the kids to each have their own rooms and to even have a room just for toys. We even have a large, partially finished basement, a two car garage, and a sunroom which we are excited to use this Spring and Summer. We feel very blessed to be able to live here.
The kids are all growing and changing so fast. They have really adjusted well to the move. Brendan still loves school and everything about it. He just started riding the bus to school, which picks him up and drops him off right in front of the house. He was able to invite a friend over to play this week, which he just loved. His favorite thing to do lately is go sledding with Spencer on the little hill right by the house. Grant loves having all his toys back again. He spends a lot of time taking toys out of the playroom. He has also been spending a lot of time doing puzzles, which he is very good at. Jenna is now almost 8 months old already. She sits up on her own and rolls all over the floor. She hasn’t started crawling yet, but Brendan is working on that with her. She is a great eater, she’ll try anything, so it’s really fun to feed her. She’s also starting to take longer naps, so she finally has a good eating and napping schedule.
We had a very fun Christmas. It seemed really special because it has been 3 years since we’ve been able to celebrate Christmas in our own house. We spent a lot of time creating new traditions and just playing together. It was so nice not to have to spend 2 days traveling just to see family. Instead, we were able to drive back to our own house after each party and put the kids to bed in their own beds. Here are a few pictures of the kids at Christmas.

Jenna is looking pretty and festive in the Christmas dress that Renee' gave to her.
