It's a Girl in winter 2009!!!

Hello all... it's been awhile since our last post, but we've been very busy over the past few months. First, we'd like to share some of our newest baby pictures. We had our second ultra-sound on December 11th (18 weeks along). Everything looked good developmentally, and all of our genetic screenings came back normal. We also found out that we are having a little girl! Yippee! We are both really excited and are having fun looking at all of the sweet little girl things. Thank you to all of you have kept us in your prayers over these past few months. We've all been feeling pretty well and getting bigger by the day (except Mike :) ). Please continue to pray as Baby Woods continues to grow and develop. She'll be here before we know it! I've also included some pictures from the past couple of months. Enjoy!


She is already using her new brain power...

Tami's getting bigger...

We spent October in Texas and had a really wonderful time seeing our friends and family. Our first stop was Houston/Montgomery to see Mike's side of the family. We then went to Austin and Round Rock to stay with Tami's sister, visit with Mike's sister's family and cousin Angela, and then stay with some friends. After Austin, we headed to San Antonio to stay with the Harts and visit with tons of old friends. Our last major stop was the Valley to see Tami's side of the family. While we were in the Valley, we had the honor of being part of Tami's best friends' wedding. (They married each other!) It was so good to see so many friends and friends that are like family at Jennifer and Graham's wedding. We were even able to share our baby news with Jenn and Graham in person, which was such a blessing.

Tami learned a new hobby in Montgomery. The targets were the squirrels who eat out of the bird feeders.
Caitlyn and Jacob enjoyed some yoga with Uncle Mike while Ella and Justin watched.

We went to The Oasis with Erinn and Mark (Tami's sister and brother-in-law) in Austin. Mike enjoyed a ride to the moon!
We had tons of fun visiting our friends, the Whitakers in Austin.

Here are some links to pictures from the wedding. Tami got to walk down the aisle with her old friend Craig Butters. Jenn and Graham looked so beautiful (and handsome). Actually the whole event was really spectacular, but we all still had tons of fun!

In early December, Chris and Bianca Leonard came to visit us. We took a stay-cation to Maui. It was.... full of funny memories! :)

We enjoyed a very festive month of December leading up to Christmas. Our Christmas was really wonderful and relaxing this year. Per tradition, we woke up early (~6:30am our time) to open gifts with Tami's family over speakerphone. We then began preparing lunch/brunch for some of our closest friends here in Honolulu. Once everyone had gone home, we enjoyed a nice long weekend of being at home with each other. For New Year's, we headed up to the Allports (another annual tradition) to have dinner and watch fire works... aka the locals "blowing up the island". We exchanged gifts with the Allports on the 7th day of Christmas. Our wonderful god-daughters decided that they wanted to share their things with "baby Woods". They picked out a beautiful new baby bag and filled it with some of their favorite toys and books.

We hope that you are having as wonderful of a Christmas Season as we have, and we wish you a blessed New Year in 2010!
