More updates and pictures are coming to the blog soon - time to get back into the swing of things. When baby hits 6 months old, we usually feel like we're getting the swing of things. However, there are new challenges we face, such as attitudes of 9 year olds. We'll catch up soon enough with life in the Phelps household. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
“Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people” Luke 2:10

H ello Friends and Family, we’ve got a rhyme for yous; it’s what happens when you read too much Dr. Seuss.
A bout time we did another letter, I know. Last year we were busy, this year too, watching our family grow!
P helps headquarters gained another little trooper; Joshua Thomas is really quite super!
P lenty of LOVE to go around, we extend some to you too when this letter you have found.
Y ou’ll find a tidbit of all in this letter and maybe you’ll get to know the Phelps’ a little better.
B iggest brother Nathan (9) just started Basketball and loves drawing, playing Legos and isn’t so small. (3rd grade!)
I n the first grade now, Hannah (6 ½) is learning so much, she’s caring, artistic and loves all with a “little mama’s” touch.
R eally testing Mom’s patience these days, Preston (4½) loves to play, do art and is loving his newest brother’s baby stage.
T his toddler, Spencer (2) is such a joy; full of energy, laughter, curiosity; he loves cars & trains and is such a big boy!
H appy is Joshua (5mos.) most would say, but teething & gas some of the day. Giggles & smiles; this age is perfect all the way.
D ad and mom love these blessings that keep them so busy, life isn’t perfect in fact at times makes us dizzy.
A t least we have each other and all of you in our life, but most importantly we are glad that we have Christ.
Y es we have our struggles like anybody does, but we have Hope within us and are joyful because.
J uly brought us a new baby, kids went back to school and in November Royce lost his job but it’s “cool”.
E verything is up in the air but we’re excited; our new mantra is: God’s in control & if He wills it so be it.
S o Courtney keeps busy with kiddos and MOPS, with homework and housework; the fun never stops.
U nabashed is our love for God and for life; who cares if there’s a little bit of strife.
S o If you told us 10 years ago, when we wed, that we’d have 5 kids, “You’re looney!” we would have said.
! Hopefully by now you’re not sawing a log, but if you want to hear more just check out our blog!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The Phelps Family
Royce, Courtney, Nathan, Hannah, Preston, Spencer & Joshua
