Where have we been????


No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth. Life has just been really, really, really busy! I'm going to be back logging posts over the next few weeks because we have to get caught up. I've got to keep this journal going! Here is a quick synopsis of what we've been up to.

We moved into our new place, had Christmas and then headed up to Utah to see my ENTIRE family! We haven't all been together for 4 yrs. We all stayed at my brother's and their were 13 kids all under the age of 7 in the house! I have to admit I was super nervous about how that was going to work out, but they were so great! Very impressive and my brothers kids were so great about sharing their toys and rooms with us. Thanks guys!

After a week of snow, it was time for us to return home. We brought my sister Ali and her son Hugo home with us for a little visit. The ride home was a bit rough (Hugo got sick, thankfully we had a bucket ready) but we made it! I got to work unpacking boxes and trying to make my house feel like a home. We did laundry and tried to relax.

Ali and I had a huge list of activities we wanted to do, and I think we did a pretty good job checking things off of it. We played outdoors, ate fruit, went for walks, explored at the jetty, played in the sand, searched the tide pools for sea life, went to Disneyland, went whale watching, took lots of pictures, and had tons of fun!

Now life is getting back to normal. Ali & Hugo have returned home, my laundry is done, kitchen clean, kids asleep, husband's at work & now it's time for me to rest my head too! I promise to post lots more pictures....so STOP HOUNDING ME !!!!

Night!

Well, I didn't want to "hound" you but yes, we have missed you tons! I actually snuck (sp?) onto your sisters blog to see if she reported what you were up to and I saw that you made it to your brothers for Christmas and that you still existed out there somewhere! I'm just kidding but we are excited to hear what you've been up to.

We had a wonderful time with your family Millie. Words can't do it all justice. Hugo has asked for you a few times. Not Emry, not yet! On the plane he asked for Daddy a few times too! He knew we were gonna see Poppa but he also wanted to know just where Daddy was. Work, I said.

Use the post date option on the bottom left, small letters. Easy.

Much love -
Ali

P.S. - Trina, I don't know if you snuck on to my blog or Maggie's or Lizzie's but I think that I can speak for the three of us here and say No problem! Sneak on over anytime!

Glad to see a post from you. Holidays are always so busy, add moving into a new house, a family vacation, and in-house guests...well no wonder you didn't have time to blog. :) We'll look forward to the "catch up" posts to come. Relax Momma-you deserve it!
