We saw fireworks from our patio!! Thankfully Jack slept through it

HAPPY 2013

the BIG Move

We found out in early December we had to move.... THANK GOD. I was so ready to get out of our tiny 1bedroom/jacks tiny closet bedroom into a real 2 bedroom with a patio. We had a crazy month, with a very sick baby, packing up boxes and Christmas. But it all turned out amazing. We are all so happy in our new apartment. Here are some fun moving pictures.

HAPPY MOVING DAY!!

Jack's First Christmas

We had an amazing Christmas this year. As we predicted Jack enjoyed ripping gifts open and munching on the paper. Christmas was spent in Delaware with my side of our family. We went for a walk on the beach Christmas eve morning on a beautiful crisp day. Jack slept thru part of Christmas eve church, when he woke he just decided to talk the rest of the service. We enjoyed Grandmommy's famous Onion soup and Cheese fondue that evening. Christmas Morning Jack woke and decided to say his first word! Just as daddy was walking down the stairs Jack screams out Da-Da!!
We found out in early December we had to move, it brought some challenges to Christmas time along with Jack getting croup... but we are very thankful for our family who helped us out. Enjoy some photos from our wonderful First Christmas with Jack.
