Hap-Hap--Happy!

So we survived Christmas on the road - and so did the Camry...We loaded her up - to the brim...Nala and Reagan squeezed into the back - just enough room to use each other as pillows...
And we said bye-bye to our little Christmas house for a few days...
It was a sweet Christmas. There was a lot of talk about the new life that will be joining us next Christmas - along with a lot of reminicing about my grandfather who wasn't with us this Christmas. There was certainly a void there - he was such a bright spot in our lives - and Christmas was one of his favorite times. We carried on with his tradition of a Christmas Eve Breakfast - though the crowd was a little lighter - I know he would have been proud!

It was great to be with both of our families over the vacation...we acquired a few baby items, booties, onsies, a duck outfit and a book called Motherhood is not for sissies. it's hard to believe that next Christmas there will be a 4-month old to share it all with!

New Years was simple - Aaron's dad and family came in town and we grilled out - spent some time at Tannehill Park and celebrated New Years...through the TV. The only bummer about celebrating in Central Time Zone...is that there's no celebration...no big shows, concerts...we are like the time zone that got left-out. My Mom and grandmother came in town shortly after and spent this past weekend - which was so much fun. We did a little shopping - relaxing - and just enjoyed being in the same state!

Anyhow...the New Year is off to a great start. Aaron and I have started a book called the "Love Dare" it's been great so far...and we're only on day 3.

We are 9 weeks pregnant now...and counting. Still feeling great just fighting a little sleepiness every now and then...and some hungry spells. January 15th I go back to the doc...praying for a good report and good bloodwork!

Till next time!
