Announcing our new arrival

It's been a while since I've posted anything on our blog. But our lives have definitely been a little busier than usual. It's amazing what the arrival of a baby in the family can do to change your whole idea of what must be accomplished each day. For me, computer time has definitely been low on the list of things that has to be done. I'd much rather be spending time with our little honey or doing the things that simply must be done so we can eat and have clean clothes to wear :)
On November 22 we welcomed our baby girl, Abigail Joy into our family. It's been an exciting two months of getting to know her. She's a very social little girl who doesn't want to miss a thing. Even on her first day in the big world she was awake almost the whole day. It seemed like she didn't want to miss any of her visitors. She simply cannot fall asleep as long as there are new things to see. She does not like to be alone and easily falls asleep in her crib as long as
someone is holding her hand. When we talk to her she smiles and it lights up her whole face. We wouldn't trade her for anything. We are very thankful that she was born at this time of year so we can enjoy so much time with her.
We all enjoyed Christmas together with Abigail being the center of attraction of course. Peter and Annemarie had a hard time leaving for Florida this year but with the wonders of modern technology they can see her almost every day via Skype.
For those of you who are reading this blog and planning to come houseboating this summer I'm sure you'll get to see our little bundle of joy either in the office or out around the houseboats somewhere. We look forward to seeing you and introducing you to our little girl.
