2007 In a Nutshell

I am a few days late on my New Years post but I have been dealing with a sick baby, AGAIN! The last 1 1/2 months have been rough for the Hozian family. We have been battling one sickness after another. So, hopefully the new year will bring better health.

Here is a rundown of our year.

Chris' dad moved in with us at the beginning of the year. He had moved back from Mexico and needed a place to crash to regroup and find a job.

Feb. 4th marked our 2 yr anniversary. I stopped working at the end of February in anticipation of Noah's arrival in April. I spent March sitting in the recliner in the nursery with my ginormous feet elivated. My sisters and mom came over at the end of March and helped me decorate the nursery. I love the way it turned out and I will be sad to leave it when we move.


The biggest event of the year happened at the beginning of April. Noah came into the world after a very exhausting labor. He was 7 lbs 13 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. He had a head full of dark hair and he was perfect. He was jaundice and when he was 2 weeks old he had to go thru 3 days of light therapy to help with the jaundice. It was really hard to not be able to hold my baby for that long.



In June my father-in-law found a great job that he enjoys and was able to get a place of his very own. We enjoy our Sunday visits to Grandpa's house.

In July my family had our annual reunion. We rented a couple of houses on Weiss Lake and had a great time. It was Noah's 1st experience with a large body of water and he was unimpressed. There were some great antique stores around there and all of us girls made out like bandits. It was great.


Sept. 17th marked our 2 yr sealing anniversary which is the anniversary that we actually celebrate because that is when our marriage really started.

In October we went to the beach. Noah was, again, unimpressed with the water. I missed Chris like crazy but we had a good time. Noah was the most adorable Harry Potter for Halloween. Chris and I enjoyed the candy that we shamelessly took Noah around collecting. We also went to Tate Farms with some family and friends. It was insanely cold that day but we all had a good time. We bought a pumpkin but never actually got around to carving it.




Thanksgiving was really great this year. Alisha and the girls made these really cute turkeys using the girls hands that had everyones name on it and marked where you sat. I made Carden make one for Noah because they were so cute. We all ate way too much and enjoyed every minute of it.

December was an eventful month. Both Chris and I had a birthday. We got to go to T's 1st birthday party. Noah was spoiled rotten at Christmas by us and his Grandma. And we all passed around one sickness after another.


It was a great year with lots of memories. I am really looking forward to 2008. I am excited to celebrate Noah's 1st birthday. Chris and I have discussed trying to get pregnant again by the end of next year. Chris is looking forward to progressing in his job. I will continue to endeavor to keep my sanity when I only have an infant to talk to most of the time. It's gonna be a great year!
