Wishing you the Happiest of New Year's!

Shawn and I are so thankful for a wonderful year. Braeden has grown from a baby into a big boy. Shawn and I are happier than ever.

Shawn has become such a strong, wonderful teacher at the senior high and I'm doing o.k. myself at the charter school.

Most importantly, Braeden brings joy and humor to us each and every day. Whether he is being an angel or a monster, it is always an experience!! We wish everyone a safe, peaceful 2008 and pray that God will bless us with our complete family in the coming year!

Love to all,
The Simmons (Shawn, Megan, Braeden, Aspen, RW&R)

Simply HAVING a wonderful Christmas time!

We have been having such a wonderful Christmas week! Braeden LOVES Mommy and Daddy being home and of course LOVES all the new TOYS!! We are so blessed to have so many loving family members around us! We love each and every one of them.

We are PRAYING for a New Year's filled with love and hope...and MORE Simmons members!

God Bless EVERYONE!

We've been elfed!!

Well...Here we are! All elfed up and no where to go!

Enjoy!

I LOVE THIS, JILLY!!!!!!

Oh, the search for the PERFECT Christmas picture!

Here are some of the cutie pie pictures we took the other night as possible contenders for our Christmas cards! Braeden, Shawn and our dog, Aspen, were being silly together as we watched the Shrek Christmas story (which was GREAT!!!)

P.s. For those of you "in the know", I am making another blog to follow our "new" journey! I will e-mail the address to everyone!

Thankful for THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!

Finally, here are some Thanksgiving pictures! We had a wonderful day and Braeden was an angel! He loved, loved, loved Mike's Mom, Pat, and spent most of the day with her.
The picture of Braeden from behind is a VERY special picture because it shows my little boy WALKING!
We also had our first attempt at a Christmas picture of the four kids. I think Braeden had other plans, though. He is too much...poor Erin!
