Dearest Family & Friends

Dearest Family & Friends;


We are so happy that this year has blessed our family in more ways than we can count! For starters, our family grew with the birth of our son, Kevin Lee, in June. Also, Brad accepted a position with Caterpillar in May, and we relocated to Peoria, Illinois.

Kayleigh turned two this year, and as parents, we're constantly nudging the other to look at what she's doing! She's truly a joy in our lives, and we're amazed at how smart she is. She likes Barbie Dolls and Baby Dolls, Tea Parties and helping Mommy cook. She likes building blocks with Daddy. We recently woke up to her cheerful voice asking us to have a tea party at 7 am on a Saturday, we had to smile when we noticed she had all her teacups on their color-coordinated saucers lined up and ready to go. She loves to help with her Baby Brother, and took to being a big sister right away. In fact, it was in August that she decided to try tackling Kevin's diaper by herself! She can pick him up (only if Mommy or Daddy say it's okay), and Kevin just adores her!

Kevin is sitting up on his own now, and his motor skills (grasping things or reaching them) are amazing. He loves to sit down, and just play with his toys. He like people who will listen when he wants to babble, but mostly, he's content watching Big Sister run around or playing with his toys. He's really thinned out, but he's still quite long, and looks sooo much like Daddy... We're getting ready to have him baptized in a week.

As far as the cats (Mokey and Fittenz), we still have them; Kayleigh loves them... We'll leave it at that.

Brad loves his job at Caterpillar. It's nice to be so much closer to family; travel is alot easier. We're getting used to Peoria, and the city just suits us so much better with the conveniences... Brad misses testing a little, and both Michelle and Brad miss their friends from Thief River. 2008 was just a wonderful year for us, and we are so thankful for the blessings God has given us.

We love you all, Merry Christmas, and we wish all of you a Blessed New Year!
All Our Love,
Brad & Michelle
