2008 - A year of New Additions
The theme for our family this year was new additions. In April we finished adding over 850 square feet to our house including a 3rd stall garage, master bedroom and bath and a new laundry area. Our remold/addition also included new siding, a new front porch, a new driveway, and a new back deck.
Our biggest news of the year is the addition of our 4th child, Emily Ann. She was born on July 11th at 12:45 am and weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. Even though she has a wonderful smile and a great laugh she can be a handful. She demands to be in the center of everything, is a momma’s girl and still wakes up a couple of times at night.
Taylor – is growing up so fast. She loves to read and being a “mother” to her siblings. She’s a girly, girly and enjoys playing with Barbies & her American girl doll.Brandon – is all boy! He enjoys wrestling with dad and Caleb. He’s very inquisitive; a speed junky; and Star Wars fan.
Caleb - we have seen a lot of growth in Caleb this past year. At the end of Jan. he started walking at 18 months. By the summer he was climbing our playground set in the back yard with the big kids and now he is running. He says over 40 words and is picking up new ones each week. He is full of so much love and a complete joy to our family.
Charlie - finished his coursework the second week in December; the first milestone towards earning his Ph D. He continues to work at Northwestern College. I am still working part-time as the Director of Student Activities at Northwestern College as well.
We will be staying home in snowy Iowa for Christmas this year. May the timeless message of Christ’s birth fill your hearts and home with joy today and throughout the coming year.
Merry Christmas! The Couch Family
