Bundle of Joy due in July!
Will and I are happy to announce that we will be having a baby in July! We are both very excited to be adding to our family. Our due date is July 12th, so hopefully the baby will come before the weather gets too hot. I have been very lucky so far because the pregnancy has been very easy, so I am praying that the rest of the pregnancy also goes as easily. Now that we are almost past our first trimester its on to preparing the nursery and ourselves to be parents.

Our Christmas Letter
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope this year has been filled with joy and happiness for you and your family! 2010 has been a fun, busy and exciting year for us and we’d like to share the top 10 highlights of our year with you.
1. In January we traveled to Leavenworth with our friend Marisa to snowshoe and enjoy some snow!
2. In February the whole Graham family traveled to Maui for a weeklong vacation. It was a wonderful vacation full of snorkeling, surfing, zip line tour, Luau, watching the sunset and enjoying lots of family time.
3. We attended a wonderful weekend called Via De Cristo. It was a wonderful weekend full of worshiping God, learning how to share His word with others, and being in an environment with other wonderful Christians! Both of us attend a weekly reunion group with others who have attended Via De Cristo. It’s been wonderful to have a group of Christians to help keep us accountable.
4. April began the 6 month home project. We repainted the kitchen, living room, dining room and entry/hallway. Had new floors installed in the kitchen, dining room, living room and entry/hallway. Lauri’s dad, Gary built new cabinets for either side of the fireplace and a cabinet for the laundry area. We re-designed our closets and added new 6-panel doors to the closets and rooms. The last part was getting some new furniture! We are very pleased and happy with our new look!
5. Will became a member of Christ the King Lutheran this year. His company also was sold in May and he has been adjusting to and enjoying working with the new owner.
6. Lauri is now teaching 3 Stepping Stones Preschool classes and still totally loves teaching! She also joined the praise band at church and still enjoys playing in the hand bell choir.
7. In September, the Graham family had a family reunion in Illwaco, WA.
It was a wonderful weekend event seeing family we had not seen in years and new
family members. The weather also was sunny and perfect for fun at a park.
8. We started our 2nd year of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) and are studying the book of Isaiah which has kept us both busy. We both attend Monday nights. This year Lauri was asked to be a children’s leader. She is teaching level 3 (5th and 6th grade). She really enjoys it, but it definitely keeps her busy.
9. October, we took a trip with Lauri’s parents to Sunriver Oregon. We enjoyed relaxing, shopping, playing tennis, riding bikes and playing lots of pinochle.
10. Next year is going to be a busy and exciting year for us. We are excited to announce that we will be welcoming our first child into our family around July 12, 2010!! We recently had our first appointment and got to see our baby move, kick and saw the heart beat! We are still in debate about if we will find out if we are having a boy or girl.
The one thing we are most excited and thankful for this year is the joy of our love for each other. In this season of loving and giving, we wish the same to all of you.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
William and Lauri
