Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! 2008 is a year that we will never forget... our engagement, planning a wedding, Derek's transition to Continental, Derek's call from SWA, Derek's furlough from CAL, first months of marriage, changes with Zane, pregnancy, etc. It's been a whirlwind in the Adams household to say the least. Of course, we wouldn't have changed a thing. God works in ways that we do not always understand at the time. The Lord has truly blessed us in so many different ways through situations we never thought possible to see any sort of bright side from. His timing is always perfect.

We had a wonderful Christmas, and Zane enjoyed every minute of it :) Of course, I think our Dads (both Zane's Dad and my Dad) are enjoying Zane's Wii just as much (if not more) as Zane is. Miss Addyson doesn't know it yet, but she also had a wonderful Christmas. Her Grammy and Pa-Paw showered her with presents on Christmas.

We also enjoyed the Zoo and Monster Jam last weekend. Surprisingly, I probably got the biggest kick out of Monster Jam. I was one of those fans’ that was loud and jumping up and down through out the races. I actually jumped too quickly out of my chair, and we think I pulled a muscle in my stomach, LOL! Good Times!

Not trying to turn the mood upside down, but we did get some news that wasn't the most uplifting part of our holidays. Miss Addyson appears to have small cysts on one of her kidneys. Supposedly this condition is hereditary. The impact of the cysts really won't be known until she makes her appearance. We spoke to our pediatrician who couldn't give us much insight until she is born. My doctor is also making an appointment for us to see a specialist that will hopefully be able to help us better understand everything. We have another u/s scheduled on January 26th to have a better look at her spine and heart, since the last u/s she was not in the right position and had no want to move for the technician. Please keep her in your prayers, and I'll update everyone as we get more information.
