Instead of mailing a Christmas Card Letter,
We thought saving paper
might actually be better.
And with intentions of
spreading some world wide web cheer
We've pointed friends and
family to the blog this year!
Now I’ll begin, as most
holiday letters do
With a brief synopsis of
everything new:
The start of the year, a
quite popular post
Announced I was pregnant,
quite reason for a toast.
Just as we wanted, quickly
our family grew,
And soon thereafter, two dogs joined our crew.
Dan loves the new job that
he started in spring,
And we continued to coach
volleyball, a favorite thing.
I went part-time at work
to make more time for rest,
And also began nesting, as
you may have guessed.
Painting projects ensued,
in and outside.
Daniel tackled the nursery, surprising his bride.
My appetite grew along
with my belly,
Any cravings? You ask…
mostly peanut butter and jelly.
After our home filled with
gear and onesies and toys,
A tiny girl named Penelope
Jane, you probably heard.
The delight that she
brings us, I can’t put to words.
Day by day since then we’ve been figuring it out.
Being brand new parents is
a challenge, no doubt.
The support we’ve had from
so many we love
Is just one of many
blessings we count from Above.
Now life goes on with the
munchkin in tow
And it’s true what they
say, how fast babies grow!
I write when I can to
share thoughts and our story:
Life and Marriage and
Parenting in all of its glory.
The Griffin Family, yes
even Luna and Apollo,
Has pointed you here with
hopes you will "follow"
To read of our tales and keep
in touch,
as hearing from all of you always means so much.
And on this, our second
Christmas of marriage we spend,
Love, Joy, Peace and
Prayers we send.
Blessings this Christmas,
Love,
Dan and Julie Griffin
Merry Christmas! Fun poem idea!
