Happy new years!!!

Well it has been one crazy year for the Henson family. I am most glad that this one is ending and now we are moving onto 2010!!
Recap of 2009:
It started out good. We were full of hope with our company, and our little family. Then the recession hit our company along with some very unplanned things. By mid June Mike was out of work. We had to put our house on the market beginning of July and had a contract to pending 48hrs later. SOLD by August!!!! We moved in with my parents and that is now were we reside. It is a little bit cramped but we are so blessed that we have a safe, dry place to raise our kids for now.
Mike is still looking for work however due to the economy we are not out of the rough yet. But I truly believe that things are going to turn around for us this year. I am looking for work as well in medical field, which is where my heart truly lies. But am looking into other options but am praying that someone will just give me the chance to get back in this field.
The kids are doing great!!! They have adjusted so well to the move and their new school. We are so lucky that my parents live in the school lines to one of the best schools of the district. Nathan played fall coach pitch baseball this past year. First time to play like on a team my father usually plays with at home. So I was super thrilled to see him get to the plate smack that ball his first time up at bat and he hit a double. I just might have pro on my hands.
Jacob, is in preschool and loving it. He tells us everyday about his best friends at school and what they did. He wants to play soccer in the spring but I think that we will try t-ball first.
Rachel, well she is everywhere!!! And I do mean everywhere. She goes from the time she gets up to the time she goes to sleep. I think that she might be worse than the boys, plus she thinks she is royalty and we are her minions.
All in all we good we have gotten one hurdle taken care of just need the other. We realize that all of this Gods plan and His timing and we are just to be His servants faithfully obeying Him. "Thank you Lord for another day with my family and a safe place to be. Father continue to lead us and give us patience to go down your path you have for us. Lord let us make the right decisions that glorify you". Amen

Christmas come and Gone!

Well most of you may not know this. But Jacob has been having some hearing problems for a little bit. He has failed four or so hearing tests. I took him today to the ENT, great Dr. The best bedside manners and so down to earth, it was just a wonderful experience. Anyway he failed his hearing test there as well. The Dr. started to clean his ears started with this little bitty metal hoop thing, then there was just so much he went to an ear vacuum. Could not get all the ear wax have to give him ear drops 10days 3x's a day then go back. Dr. feels quite confident that once the blockage is gone he will be fine. Does not want to jump the gun.
On another note the boys are driving me crazy. I am so ready for school to get back in the swing of things. I think they are secretly ready too they are always like whats next. So Christmas was so wonderful. Watching the kids tare into their presents and seeing them smile with excitement. While I know Christmas is not about gifts and etc... It is fun to remember it and see it through children eyes.
I pray that all of you had a wonderful Christmas and beautiful new year. Talk to you soon.
