I can't believe Christmas has come and gone. It always seemed like after Christmas there was only a month of winter left. But living in the Midwest and Utah for 8 years has changed my childhood perspective. After Christmas all the fun of winter is over; no more trips to look forward too and no playing outside for at least 2 more months.
On a more positive note, for Christmas we visited our family in a beautiful remote little city in Oregon. It snowed like crazy and was very chilly. We spent our time sledding, hot tubbing, eating, playing lots of games, celebrating Christmas and birthdays. It was a lot of fun aside from the expected little bugs everyone seems to get on vacation. I always remember getting sick and throwing up each time I went to visit my cousins. This trip wasn't too bad for me, but Will and Cohen had some rough nights. I will have to spread out all the cool pictures. But for now here is Luke drawing with his adorable cousin Logan. Logan turned two while we were there and they both had a lot of fun with each other. The day we left Luke didn't want to leave, he said "I am going to lose Logan." It was bitter sweet.
I don't even know where to start with all the pictures.
I can't believe my baby is one! He is such a little sweet heart. They grow up way too fast. We had an appointment today and he was 20 pounds. The lady who weighed him was just as surprised as I was. But she thought he was smaller and I was expecting more because Luke was 24 pounds! It's been a quiet day so far. Will is still in Phoenix where he interviewed at St. Joseph's and Phoenix Children's Hospital. I am so glad the interviews are over. Now we will just have to sit and wait. Fresno is still his number choice right now. Since Will is gone we are going to wait until Friday to celebrate. It's hard not to celebrate on the day of his birthday especially since it's his first. So the boys and I treated ourselves to happy meals and the play place! I think Cohen had a lot of fun. Sometimes Cohen is so outgoing and adventurous. I love watching him play and discover things. His favorite things are the phone, remote control, the computer, and anything that fits in his mouth. He also loves peek-a-boo. I love it when Luke plays peek-a-boo with Cohen in his high chair. Cohen cracks up! He laughs a lot. He even has this cute little fake giggle when he is trying to copy us and join in on the laughter. He hasn't really liked the snow, I don't blame him. It's just too cold to ever fully enjoy yourself:) We put him in his snow suit and he could barely walk.
