Up she goes!

Well, the 2nd week of January was the start of our dream home. Clearing the trees and thicket took about 2 days. Then the pad was set. The weather slowed down the next few stages, but the foundation was poured 1/29 and the framing started today 1/30. We are very excited and very overwhelmed with all the decisions to be made and trying to stay within budget. Please continue to pray that things go well.

Otherwise, life goes on in the Cotter home. Cub Scouts, Gymnastics, and Basketball have taken most of our free time, but I wouldn't want to be doing anything else....well....maybe sleep in. This weekend is a big weekend for our family. Karson will be turning 2! and Tres is getting baptized! Our family will be here to celebrate with us. I am also very excited about going to a medical conference in San Francisco in 2 weeks. I will have 3 days of no responsibility....YEAH!

As always we miss all our friends and family we do not get to see very often. I hope this brings us a little closer to you.

God Bless! Juli

Happy New Year!

The Cotter family would like to wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year! I hope 2008 will bring you lots of love, laughter and joy. Looking back at our pictures from this year I realized how blessed we truly are. We thank the Lord for the wonderful gifts and opportunities He has given us.

I lost my camera last month and don't have any pictures to post for you, but THANKS to Nana and her camera, I will post some pictures very soon. We have spent lots of time with our family and even some time with very special friends. Christmas was wonderful, the kids were so fun this year. I think we will have to get a second home for all the toys. Kirby has been off for 2 weeks with the kids, and I have had to work. I think he has enjoyed it, and I know they have. Nana will have a time trying to unspoil them after he goes back to work next week.

We closed on our house last week and the building process is to start this week. We are very excited and anxious too! I will hopefully be updating the blog with pictures of the house being built.

You are all in our prayers and we miss you all!
