I'm an aunt again!

They're here! My sister gave birth to her twins this past Wednesday. Dylan Douglas Breen - His middle name is my Dad's name, but he looks like my brother-in-law's family! And Declan Michael Breen - His middle name is my brother-in-law's father's name, but he looks just like my family! They are absolutely adorable! Liam isn't quite sure what to think of them yet, but give it a year or so and I know he'll be happy to have some other boys to play with finally!

Dylan & Declan!

Cuddle time with Declan! He actually looks quite a bit like Liam!

Cuddle time with Dylan!

The two cuties! I can't wait to see how their personalities develop as they get older. They are going to be so much fun!

Time for a blog post.

I'm not very good about updating our blog. I guess there just hasn't been much to blog about!

I've been in my job for over a month now, and it's still going really well! I feel like I naturally fit in with my coworkers, and I already feel more comfortable here than I ever have in any of my past jobs. Praise the Lord! I get Christmas break, Spring break and summer break off, so we're just trying hard to save up for when we won't have my income to count on. God is always faithful though, so we are not worried. 

 

I've also been working with our church's Jr High group for about a month now. I lead a small group of about 5 girls, most of who are from broken homes. It has been such a learning experience for me, and I've come to appreciate what I have a lot more. Most of the girls in my group are not Christians, and I'm trying to talk to each of them about my faith, but it's been tough. Who knew 8th graders could have such tough Biblical questions!?

 

Ben will be starting his grad classes again next week. He took a break off when we moved because he had to switch from SAU's main campus to their Grand Rapids site. I'm working on mentally preparing myself to not seeing him much & I've bought a few books so that I can read while he studies!! :) 

 

Last, but not least, Liam is still doing really well at his new daycare. He is starting to talk a bit more. He says "Dad" (Yells it whenever he sees Ben), "Good" (When he likes what he's eating), and "Ball" (Playing catch is his favorite activity)! He still doesn't say mom, or any version of it, but I'm over that. :)

 

That's about all that has been going on in the Santee home. Our twin nephews are due any day now, so we're getting excited to meet the little guys!
