Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time!

With David's family in New Zealand and my brother and his family in Colorado, we had a quiet Christmas with my parents and loved every minute of it. We were probably the only ones who didn't want a white Christmas because of the drive my parents had to make but it was beautiful. (And somehow we have no pictures of it.)

Someone is so over the picture taking!

This seems to be our new camera smile.

Merry Christmas to you and yours and thank you Lord for your Son and little DM.

Little love is 10 months old!

Not quite ready for Santa!

And this was the "best" photo!

Rockin' with Amie and Ro

We haven't had much time to enjoy the holidays, which is really another way of saying we're still adjusting to how busy a family stays with two working parents and a kiddo (and dog and cat). I was in absolute heaven to have dear friends Amie and Rowena come up for breakfast this morning. Okay, they were really just coming to see DM but who could blame them! And DM is in heaven with her new Rockin' Bug! And to top off the day, Mom came down to watch DM while we went house shopping. Heaven! More to come on the house situation (hopefully)!

Thanksgiving . . . Better Late than Never!

We were fortunate enough to get to see David's parents, my parents, and my brother's family over Thanksgiving! Here are a few pictures from the week.

9 Months

DM went for her check-up yesterday. She is definitely growing up (and out)! She came in just under 20 pounds and is nearly 29 inches tall. Unfortunately, our little happy child has been hiding her illness from us well. She has an ear infection. :( Definitely not ONE sign of this but we have some meds now and it should begin clearing soon. As many know, DM doesn't really seem to be interested in crawling still. I think she figures "Why should I move when I can get everyone to come to me?"
