Happy New Year

Happy New Year from the Rosen Family!
I hope you enjoy these pictures. They were taken early in December. Gavin was 9, Grisham was 4 months.

Happy New Year to all of our family and friends! 2008 was like a rollercoaster ride for us, only it had a huge drop off, but when it stopped, we were at the top. Yes, it was a year of trials, changes and challenges, but in the end, we couldn't be happier. I would take a look back to 2008, but if you are reading this I'm sure you know about the major changes in our lives. Lets look ahead to 2009! We recently discovered a wonderful church that is even closer to our home. It is called Bethel Harvest Church. It's extremely diverse and the preacher is very annointed. I definitely can feel the Holy Spirit there. We all love being there. Gavin is getting ready to start basketball for the first time. His team is called the Bobcats. I think that's pretty cool considering the fact that he loves cats and his uncles name is Bob and my dad is called Bob at work. I am still homeschooling Gavin. It's definitely a greater challenge with a new baby and new home thrown into the mix, but the resources and the support here are awesome. Gavin is extremely intelligent. He has excellent handwriting and he is learning Chemistry in the 3rd grade! I still babysit Collin after school and starting at the end of January, I will be watching Carlee and her baby brother Carson again just one day a week. I really won't want any more kids after having 2 nine year olds, a 3 year old, a 6 month old and a 2 month old all in one day. LOL Lord help me!

We made New Years Resolutions and predictions for 2009. My resolution is to really try to put God first because the Bible says in Matthew 6:33 that if you put Him first, everything else will fall into place. Some of my predictions are that Grisham will win a baby contest and Gavin will be 62 pounds by Christmas and that Aaron will change jobs and I will become a Scentsy director. We put our predictions up with the Christmas stuff so that we'll see it again when we decorate next year. That's a new tradition in our home.
