I know it has been a long while since I posted to our blog. As many of you may know, I was in a car accident on November 30th. I ended up eventually missing 2 months of work in order to let my back and neck heal. I have been back to work for 3 weeks now. Gavin started crawling just as I was ready to go back to work. God is good. He knew what I could handle. Many people from the church helped out while I was recovering. My mom was my shadow for two months because I was unable to hold Gavin or do basically anything. Edwin was an awesome help and whipped the girls into shape. I am so thankful that I am getting back to normal. I am still going to physical therapy twice a week and have aches and pains but feel grateful to be on the road to recovery.

It is fun to watch Gavin occupy his time playing with toys and other items. The container is more exciting than the letters that go inside.

Edwin got Guitar Hero for Christmas and the girls think it is fun to watch daddy and to sing some of the songs. They know almost all of the words to "Hit Me with Your Best Shot".

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hopefully you received our Christmas card before Christmas! I was unable to send a letter with our Christmas card this year but decided to include our blog address. You can see what we've been up to throughout the year by scrolling/reading through our blog. We are looking forward to celebrating Christ's birth and spending time with family and friends. We hope you are able to do the same.

Love,

The Comstocks

In case you hadn't heard. Our horse lover took a dive off the horse while riding at the fairgrounds. The medics were called, as Grandpa was concerned with the gash on her forehead. They cleaned her up and luckily I was able to leave school early. She seemed to be fine until about 2 hours later when Aliyah barely bumped her arm and she began crying. I turned her wrist over to find her arm bruised and swollen. So, off to the doctor we went. She had to wear the cast for four weeks. Boy did it get stinky. Edwin wrote "Take me off, I stink" on her cast before it was taken off. Thankfully she is as good as new and would love to ride again as soon as possible.

Yes, the girls wanted to be princesses again. If you are wondering, Gavin is a hot dog. They all won a gift card at the Harvest Festival at The Skatin Station. The girls for their pumpkins and Gavin for his costume.

It is so fun to see the boys hang out together. In case you don't know. My sister and I had the first 2 grandsons 5 weeks apart. Gavin and Isaac are so cute together. The competition has begun. I had to go out and buy Gavin a pair of identical shoes. Aren't they cute? To see more photos click on this one and it will take you to our flickr account.

Aliyah wlll always have a special place in her heart for her Uncle Joshua. It was really good to have him here for a visit. We got to meet his wonderful girlfriend Heidi and enjoyed our time together. Edwin and I are looking forward to meeting up with them when we head to California for a few days in November. Nicole and Mom did a better job taking more photos. I'll have to get more from them.

Grandma Kerri, Grandpa Frank, and Grandma Ruth came over for a visit. We always enjoy seeing them. They posed for a photo and even Frank even battled against Edwin on his new Wii.

Gavin's Growing

Gavin is growing like a weed. He is smiling so much and trying to talk all of the time.

Seaside

We had a great time on our family vacation to Seaside. We actually ended up staying an extra night. The weather was awesome. The girls loved the beach. Aliyah had so much fun jumping the waves. I finally had to put a life jacket on her because she was making me so nervous.

Gavin is getting so big. He tries to lift his head up all of the time and occasionally it comes crashing down in a face plant. He loves his daddy so much. I think the feelings are mutual.
