MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
So instead of sending out all the Christmas cards I am doing our Christmas letter on line. And now everyone will have this address so they can stay up to date on all the things we are doing through out the year. If you want to read the old posts you can see what has been going on in 2008.
This year has been full of a lot of fun and exciting things. We really have enjoyed living in Smithfield. It is nice to be back home. Brent has been going to school which is a blessing and a trial at the same time. Hopefully he will be done in a year with undergraduate and we will be trying to apply to dental schools.
Dallan has been growing up fast. He played little league this summer and loved it. He is a great player and is looking forward to playing next summer. He also made the big move into Kindergarten. He loves school so much. I hope that it continues. He is reading and tries to read everything he sees. He does really well. And he is such a big help around the house.
Allie is turning into such a little girl. She loves getting dressed for church. She says she is like a princess. I've started making her some new hairbows and she loves them. She is learning her ABC's and counting to ten. She loves to sing and is such a good singer, even if she doesn't know the words she will try to follow along. She loves going to nursery and can't wait till she can go to school like Dallan.
Our newest addition is Cody. For those who haven't been keeping up on what we have gone through read the old blogs. :) Cody has been full of excitement since he came out. He is doing really well. He got sick just before Thanksgiving and is still trying to get over it, but he is doing well. We have turned into hermits a bit, because we are scared of Cody getting sick and ending up back in the NICU. He is growing so fast and is already over 12 lbs. His cheeks are getting chunky and very cute.
As for me I am trying to keep up with life!! I had a good routine down before Cody came and now I am lucky to get a shower in during the day. The house is a disaster, Allie's hair is usually not combed and I have Dallan running everywhere trying to help. I hope soon that I can get things under control. :) Everyone told me three was hard, but it really is HARD! But I love them all. And wouldn't trade them for anything.
So we want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! There have been time after time when we just wouldn't have made it without our faith in our Saviour. He is everything to us and I don't want to try to live this life without Him. So we are trying to find ways we can help others around us this season because that is what Jesus would do. We are so grateful for the gifts He has given us, the newest our baby son, healthy and here with us!!!!
So here are some recent photos of the kids!!!

Fun! Such a cute family Ruth:)
Jack has been trying to get me to do online letters for a while. I am very resistant but this was such a fun way of doing it I may have to try it next year - before the letters are printed and ready to send! Wish we were closer, hugs to everyone! Charlene
they are growing so fast! Getting any sleep at all? love,
Merry Christmas Palmers! I am so on board with the online Christmas letter. We're doing the same thing this year. Hey you should tell someone to get you a wrap carrier if you don't have one for Cody. I've heard they're great for kids with colic and especially for moms who need their hands to get stuff done. I refuse to have any more kids until I get one! :) I really wanted one with Hyrum, but ended up with a mei tai that is nice, but not what I hoped it would be (probably because he weighed 20 pounds at 6 mo.). You can get a Moby Wrap for $40, or something similar on etsy.com for a bit less. They're really cute too. Good luck with the adjustment and crazy life!
We miss you guys!
RUTH, I am so excited to see your blog! I knew you had to have one but didn't know how to find it. I actually saw your brother Kevin at church in Weston yesterday and asked him where you lived and then I just got to my moms and she had your Christmas card. I have one for you too I just didn't know your address! Anyways I can't believe everything that happened with your baby! I had a little girl three days before you! Crazy huh! I'm so glad he is doing better. I have a blog too but with 4 little girls I am WAY behind! I miss you so much and so excited to see your cute family. I would love to talk to you sometime. My number is 435-764-2673! I hope you have a wonderful holiday and I will send my card soon. Check my blog out too! Love ya, Melanie
