I
was lazy and didn’t include a Christmas letter in my Christmas cards
this year. I immediately regretted it. So if a letter was to be
written this is what it would have said:
Dear Family and Friends,
We hope the year 2014 has be joyous! Our year was once again life changing as we became a family of 3!
The Sweat’s have had an extremely blessed year!
The biggest blessing occurred on May 10th
when Helena Grace was born! She came into the world at 7 pounds 15
ounces and 20 inches long! She’s a super happy baby and is currently
crawling
all over the place. We had a great summer! April
took an extended maternity leave and didn’t go back to work until after
Labor Day. The summer was spent with trips to the pool, baby and me
yoga, and story time, along with lots of family
visitors.
Chris has been busy with work at Hospital Housekeeping Services and as of December works 1st
shift, which he loves! He enjoys being home in the evenings and
quality family time. He
has also started to manage his own Transport department again, and is
happy about the new challenge. Chris had a week long hospital visit in
October in hopes to trace his seizure activity. We pray daily that
he’ll go back to being seizure free. Chris is
an amazing and very hands on dad! He changed all of Helena’s diapers
for the first couple of weeks and loves playing with his daughter!
April
enjoyed having the whole summer off to be mom to Helena. In October
she celebrated 11 years at CenturyLink and still supports the Channel
Alliance sales group. She’s amazed at how quickly
Helena is growing and loves to make her daughter laugh. She continues
to blog at
www.bluesoulam.blogspot.com
and loves to go back and read about Helena and life pre-baby! In
addition to everything else, April also started her own business with
Younique! A direct sales make-up company. She enjoys
the flexibility and the additional income is has created for her
family.
Helena
is pure joy and she is loved so much! Each month seems to surpass the
next with new milestones and adventures! Right now she is full of
giggles and talking! We think she has “da da”
and “ma ma” achieved! She enjoys bath time and is a great sleeper! We
are so thankful for our beautiful little daughter!
In
January we joined a small group with our Broomfield United Methodist
church family, called “First Fridays”. It’s full of young families and
we’ve created some wonderful friendships.
We
had a blessed Thanksgiving with Chris’ family in Kearney, NE and will
be celebrating Christmas with April’s family in Albuquerque, NM.
Our year has been huge and we look forward to what 2015 will bring!
We wish all of our family and friends many blessings and cheers this glorious season!
All our Best,
Chris, April, and Helena
