Quick entry & thoughts.

So... I am getting pretty excited to have a sweet little newborn, and to meet this little girl. HOWEVER, on the flip side, I am more nervous to have a newborn AND toddler to care for. Bittersweet I guess. Anyway, it will be here before we know it. New Jonesy news, my sister Vanessa got engaged this weekend to Nolan Hatch. Exciting! They plan to get married at the end of April. Because of this, I am reeeeally hoping for a March baby! Do you think begging my doctor for an induction will work? Hehehe. One week early would be March 29th. Is that too much to ask? :) Man, that seems just around the corner. Our baby name hunt continues.. Scott and I just can't agree on much this time! I don't think we could name her until we meet her anyway, so I guess we'll just keep working on our list of options and name her at the hospital. That's what we did with Tenley. However, it was just as hard to pick a name the day after she was born! I wonder if this baby will have red hair??? I am guessing she has light brown fuzzy newborn hair. And her ultrasound looks like she might have my nose. We'll see! I can't wait to find out how cute she is! So as long as plans and dates don't change with Vanessa and Nolan, I will be in AZ the last weekend in April. Hope I can see some of you old friends! And can't wait to be with family.

I can't believe Christmas is this week!! I have been looking forward to it a lot this year. All of my big plans for baking have been dissolved, I was sick with a cold this week and just felt so lazy! Maybe I can get some traditional Christmas Eve baking done with family on Thursday. :) We didn't spend very much on Christmas this year, but I found some really perfect gifts that I am excited to give! Tenley is getting practical things: a training potty, sippy cups, and a couple toys. One of her toys is play cars... She loves playing with boy things like cars and balls. So I looked online for little girl cars, and couldn't really find anything. But combing through Walmart this week, I came across a cute little animal/bug car set for $10. I'm so excited! Anyway, I Figure I better take advantage of the cheap and practical things while she doesn't know what presents are. :) I love Christmas. I try to focus on the true meaning, and on Christ's life, but sometimes it is so hard. The world is totally distracting from it. But I have been able to feel the Spirit of giving and helping. Like the guy at the Jack in the Box window that gave me my food for free. Haha. :) Anyway, here is a sweet little Christmas video clip my cousin Kimberly sent to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PURToRRq7gM

We didn't send out a Christmas letter, because I just never know what to write in them. But please know that we love you all, and hope that the fresh new year brings nothing but happiness, success, and joy to you and your families. Have a Merry Christmas!
