We are still here

I feel like I fell off the blogging planet, but we are here and all doing well. The main reason I haven't been on the computer is that Bryan's two brothers, who live in our basement, have been on the computer most of the time.
Bryan has been super busy at work saving the planet one patent at a time. He loves being at his new office, though dislikes the commute time. His business is going extremely well and he likes his coworkers. He enjoys spending time with the young men at church. He is still the best car-ride-giver, all time prince, and our most favorite guy in the whole world.
Maegan has been busy growing a new baby. We are going to find out the baby's gender on Bryan's birthday on Jan. 13th. I taught the last few lessons for Joyschool preschool and got to teach the story of Jesus' birth to the kids. I helped coordinate the nativity program the kids put on at our house. Last month I stopped running and took up my new hobby of napping. I love it, but totally miss the talking/counseling sessions with my girlfriends.
Emily and Ashley are very busy creating and playing in their own world. Most days they live in polly-pocket world, followed by Barbieland, Mary & Joseph-ville, pet-shop place, mom & sweetsy-pie, restuarant chef, cat & mouse, mom & baby dolls, teacher & student, etc. Sometimes they come meet with reality and we eat or go shopping, then they go back to fantasy with books, kid TV shows, playdough.
The girls are the best of friends most all of the time. Emily's specialty is being imaginative. She loves you to read her a book and loves asking questions. Ashley is opinionated and insistent. She loves princesses, pink, purses, and girly everything. Here they are with their new haircuts.
We are headed to AZ to spend Christmas with Maegan's family. We had Thanksgiving with the Hanks and enjoyed having 4 out of the 6 siblings together.
