Congratulations to our Brother Neil and his wife Kathryn. Owen Robert was born today at 12pm. He's 8lbs 11oz and 21" long. We're very excited and proud to have a new little nephew. Just in time for Christmas. What a great blessing.

December 12, 2007
Christmas is closing in and the excitement is building. Every time there's a new gift under the tree Micaela gets more excited. It's pretty fun. Since she's 6 this year it's even more fun because she's really anticipating the GREAT DAY! We have an Advent calendar that's helping her count down the days. Brian's still looking for a job and just found out that Canby's Washington Mutual decided to go with someone else :-( It was a big bummer but we'll just have to keep looking. My back's getting much stronger and I'll soon start taking shifts at a nursing agency called MSN. It will help at least for now.
I went to a church activity last night for women called Enrichment Night and it was so wonderful. We watched a program by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with special guest Sissel. She is so Angelic! She's not LDS but was invited in to do a program with them. Brian and I looked her up later on YouTube and she's got a few fun things on there. She's got the most crystal clear voice I've ever heard. I'll probably put a link to her on the site as well. www.sissel.net So, thanks to all the women who put on the party last night. It was very memorable.
We're really looking forward to the Leder Family Christmas party on the 22nd. Terrance and Christina will be coming from Tacoma and staying with us for a few days. They're very excited to come see the family. It's been about 5 months since they've been here so it's going to be great to see them. We finally got our Christmas cards ordered from Costco and will be sending those out this week. We were just going to have some prints done and then put them in the cards that I've had in storage since last year. But it was about the same price to order the fancy ones from Costco. So that's coming soon.
I look forward to hearing from all of you and hope you all have a great holiday season. I'll make another post soon.
Love, Sae! :-)

Getting Started
Welcome to my new blog spot! This will be a fun way to stay updated and see my family and our pics. I sure hope that you enjoy it. We are doing really well. Nothing too exciting. Brian's still looking for a job and I'll probably work for a nursing agency while he's looking. I hurt my back in Nov but I'm much better now. Micaela's in 1st grade and loving every minute of it. She's sad that there's weekend or holiday breaks because she just wants to go to school. It's really fun to watch her learn and grow. We've been getting ready for Christmas and put our tree up on Dec 1st. It's simple but beautiful. We were blessed to be able to afford some Christmas lights for the front of our house and we put those up on the 1st as well. It's been fun having Brian home and we seem to get a lot of projects done while he's here. He's a hard worker and once he gets started he wants to finish. It's very motivating. He was a true lifesaver last month when I couldn't get out of bed. Very loving, helpful and a great caregiver. I've been very lucky and blessed lately with all kinds of love and friendship. The Lord is so great and has blessed us in all areas of our lives. I went to my friend Margaret's last night for a Bunco Party and it was a BLAST! It was a Ladies Night and it was so much fun. Margaret's a new friend from here in Canby and we met this summer when I bought some stuff from here off of CraigsList. It's been so fun getting to know her and her family and now her other friends too. There should definitely be a Ladies Night every month. It was something to look forward to and now a great memory. Thanks Margaret! I'll be planning one soon. All-in-all we are doing really well. Planning and preparing and help from others is getting us through. I love you all and look forward to hearing from you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
