Happy Birthday Niece #3

While in Utah, we celebrated our nieces first birthday.

Here she is opening a gift. She got books and stuffed animals and toys. Favorite gift: a bucket and a bottle of bubbles.

Most kids love cake and on the first birthday they take a minute or so to figure out what to do with it. This reaction, though, was not what I expected.

Christmas in Utah

This year we spent Christmas in Utah with Jens family.

Jen got a nice new, hand made, hat. Really neat.

We got to visit and meet our new nephew.

Congrats Katie and Stephen on your new family member!

Our nephew got a nice fuzzy soft lamb for Christmas. It makes comforting noises, such as rain. This is the sound of the heart beat.

Merry Christmas

We hope you have a great Christmas. Here is a beautiful picture of our tree that we finally put up last week.

Jen's New Toy

After working for the City of Boise for one month Jen used the money she earned on a piano.

We have been wanting to get one for some time but up till two months ago we lived on the third floor of an apartment building.
