MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR

Dear family & friends,

Well, this year has been full of surprises for us. How about you? Our best and biggest surprise came on September 13th when our ?little prince? Daniel Lynn was born. He was just a little guy when he was born weighing in at 6lbs 6 oz, but he has more than made up for it ?.In just a little over two months we have went from preemie clothes to 6-9 months. Needless to say ?.he is a growing boy. Also, just like every good parent should, we think he?s the cutest, smartest, and most talented little boy to ever be born. Can you tell we are completely in love here or what?
Okay, on to other news. David got a new job this year (the Monday after Daniel was born), and he loves it. He is working for R.F Micro in their IT department. That means he gets to play with computers all day long. Can anyone think of a better job for him? Hahaha In addition to the new job he is still going to college full time, but he will graduate in August next year. Yes, he is a very busy person right now. I get tired just hearing about what he has to do every day.
As for me, I have been blessed with the best job of all. I get to stay at home and be Mommy to Daniel. Thanks to all of David?s hard work. I get to be at home to see all his ?firsts?, and I can?t think of a job that is better or more important?. My days are now full of diapers, bottles and tons of laundry. I have never been happier!!
David and I hope that 2007 has been as happy for you as it has for us and we pray that 2008 will be just as blessed. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas filled with family, friends, and bunches of fun!

God Bless,
David, Jessica, & Daniel Bates
