Christmas!
I love Christmas! I love giving gifts, getting gifts, and best of all spending extra time with family. It is tradition for the VanSchepen's to email a Christmas list to everyone. For myself and Sam, this is not a problem In fact, I have lots of ideas for Sam...there is this DVD and there is that game and there are all sorts of other items that I think would be really neat. It's easy for Sam cause he gets to an age we don't have toys for yet...but Josh. Well, we just don't need that many more items for him, yet it is his first Christmas that will be fun! So, I can ask for this and I can ask for that, but he really doesn't need anything! I wish I knew of some great toy out there that we don't have that he would love...suggestions?
Sleep and Sam?
Today, at work, I am exhausted and not getting much done...we have been letting Sam skip his nap and than go to bed at 8:30. It has been nice not having him up till 10, but two nights in a row he woke up at like 3 and 4 AM and was awake until like 6:30!! He gets out of bed and wants to read books, listen to music, or go downstairs!! Why do my children not sleep at night?????

Brothers
Brothers: Sam a couple weeks after his first birthday and Josh just before his first birthday. At the doctor today- Sam was still in the 75th to 90th percentile for kids his age. When Sam was 12 months, he weighed 25lbs and was 32 inches. Josh weighs 23 lbs and is 28 inches. So Josh is quite a bit smaller and he ranges in the 25th to 50th percentile for kids his age.

Sparta Migrant Program
As many of you know, I am currently working in Sparta teaching ESL to some of the migrant workers. It is a great program and I am having so much fun. I am working with a lady named Deb, who is just great and her Spanish is much better than mine- which helps! I really could tell lots of fun stories, but I don't want this entry to be too long! I hope to take more pictures so keep an eye on the blog!
Crane's Apple Orchard
This past sunday we went to Crane's apple orchard with my parents. Sam loved picking apples, he had so much fun. He also likes helping us make applesauce!

Josh's First Steps
Josh took his first sequence of steps tonight. I captured it on video ... you will notice that Sam is in time-out and he hits his head during the video. I looked after him after I was done watching Josh :)

On Saturday we had our friend Emily Schreur come over and do a sort of family photo session. She is a wonderful photographer! The digital photos (she also did some film ones) turned out really well!
