Remember us?

So, a million apologies to all of you who have tried to check our blog over the past 5(!) months. Not much has happened during that time, unless you count: traveling to Arizona for Thanksgiving with the Ryans, moving into a new house, a trip to the ER for a snow shoveling casualty, traveling to Rexburg for Christmas with the Clarks, Rebekah going back to work part-time, Andrew turning 30, and much, much more!!!

We can't possibly cover everything, but here are a few major "firsts" for our little Ladybug and a few of our favorite pics from the past few months. She is growing up so fast -- she had her first grilled cheese sandwich last night and she is working on her 5th tooth! We just love her to pieces. Here are some highlights.....

Her first bites...




Her first piano lesson from Daddy...
Her first Thanksgiving... (and her first tooth!)

Loving the Arizona sunshine with Grandma & Grandpa...


Just chillin' in Arizona with her cousins Abby and Ella. These little ladies are going to be best friends! And many thanks to Grandma & Grandpa for keeping them so stylish.

So much fun to spend time with the Ryan families...

And while in Arizona, we tried a little comparison with Mommy's baby picture...

Peek-a-boo (not really a "first, but oh so cute...)

We moved the week after we got back from Arizona. We love the new place (even though the heater broke and the pipes froze a couple weeks later while we were in Idah0). I love having a big kitchen (with an actual stove!) and it's been wonderful having so much space, but we sure miss seeing the Bradfords and Singers every day. Good thing we're still within walking distance. Anyway, here it is -- her first house, after her first blizzard...

And of course, her first Christmas (she's not so sure about this Santa guy....)
We get presents?

Christmas Eve in Rexburg...Many thanks to Nana and Papa for such a fun-filled trip!

Christmas morning...more presents?!?!

Thanks Nana and Papa!!!
Hanging out with Nana and cousin Olivia...

More (timely, I hope) updates to come!
