Merry Christmas From The Lauers!

Twas two nights before Christmas
And here I sit
Wondering what to write, and if I should quit
But no, I’ll press on, there is so much to share!
We’ve got stuff to say, and I know you care. 

The year started great with a trip to Peru
Translating and sweating, but with quite a crew
We helped so many in just a few days
God wouldn’t have had it a different way.

What else we did, I don’t exactly recall
But I know it was fun and exciting for all!
The boys waited anxiously for 9 months to pass
For the baby to be born – a girl, at last!

Isaiah started baseball, and a found a new love
But it’s football he dreams of, and not the glove.
He also started kindergarten at Lakeview School
He loves every minute, and thinks it is cool.

Harrison is still silly, funny and great
Although when you’re with him, you don’t know your fate
A tiger, a leopard, a dinosaur, a friend
These are all things he likes to pretend.

Jillian Meredith – It’s A Girl!  They exclaimed
we laughed and we cried at the news proclaimed. 
Daddy was quick to paint her room brown and pink.
In love with his daughter, if I ever did think. 

Mike is working hard to keep everything going
Through work, home, and fun his spirit is showing
He wrestles with his boys and gives kisses to his girls
He even surprised Mommy with a new set of pearls. 

And then there is me – what more can I say? 
My family is who I am and I like it that way
After deciding to chase the next chapter in my life
I am leaving my job to be a wife.
A mom and a friend I will continue to be
To many I love, but won’t as much see.
So how do I share such news with you all?
With Social Media of Course, perhaps a Tweet Up at the mall.
On Facebook, on MySpace, on Mashable and Flickr
On Delicious on Digg, maybe Technorati Or Twitter.
I am laughing hysterically at my own jokes
But listen up folks, if you like what you read
Leave us a note with some kind of lead. 
We would love to see you and hear all your stories
Merry Christmas to all – To God be the Glory!
