Parties, Potty Training and Prayers

The month started off with relatives visiting from Vegas. It was great to see my step sister Jill and her family. It has been years since we last saw eachother. Lauren fell asleep on Grandpa's lap halfway through the visit.




Then we had a few birthday parties for little Noah. He turned 3 on the 13th! I can't believe my baby is 3. We had a little party-playdate here last Monday which was super fun. He's been all about making silly faces lately.





Then we had a party with family and friends yesterday. There was ice blocking, a scavanger hunt and lots of playing at the park.







He had a fun time, but the poor guy was in a lot of pain. We are potty training and he hadn't gone poopy for 4 days!!! So he was a bit grumpy to say the least. We had to help him out a little (if you know what I mean) and he finally went today. It's been a terrible painful experience for us all, but I am hopeful that his pipes will be clean from this point on.:)

Regarding prayers..to make a long story very short Michael has had a challenging past 8 months with Ace. His co-manager resigned two months ago, which was an answer to prayer. Ace recently hired a replacement and he is AMAZING!!! Michael and Dave hit it off and are going to move mountains together. This is the first time in awhile that we've seen a light at the end of the tunnel. God continues to provide and it's truly amazing to watch. He has both humbled and blessed us beyond belief. We are going to a great church, and have met some sweet friends. We're starting to feel a part of something and it finally feels right. It was so difficult leaving Denver and we miss everyone and everything about it. But we know we are here for a reason. God is revealing that to us day by day.

The Donegans' December

Merry late Christmas!!




Michael's been working super late every night and I have had no time to update our blog. Here is a quick recap of our December.


Noah met Santa for the first time...



I was able to go to my annual girls Christmas party, which started 20 years ago...



Lauren had the flu on Christmas and her new baby made her happy...



When Lauren was feeling well she was the baby with many faces...




Noah got a train table and race car track. He loves them both.





Lauren got a horsy and Princess car, and obviously she didn't love them both.




and the Patriots are having a record winning season! Michael wants this pic framed not because of Noah, but because of Brady!



All in all it was a great and memorable Christmas....



Here's to a wonderful New Year!
