Overdue!

Happy New Year! I can't believe how quickly this last year has gone by. And what a year it was. Having a baby, moving between Washington and Michigan, and flying through my first semester with a baby. I know I haven't been very good at keeping up with new posts so I thought I'd just recap the last few months.
Halloween: Connor was a lobster and we took him to the mall to trick or treat. Everybody there told us he had the cutest costume of the night...Thanks Mom! Next year we will brave the outdoors with him.

November: Tom's mom came to visit and we made a trip up to Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula. I was so greatful for all of her help. I don't think I could have made it through this last semester without her.

Thanksgiving: We had a potluck at my good friend Carolyn's for Thanksgiving and I made the turkey...can you believe it? I cooked a turkey and it tasted good!


December: We moved! We finally made the move off campus to a three bedroom apartment in a small town outside of East Lansing. It is within walking distance to the downtown area where there are little shops, a great coffee place/book store and the county courthouse.

Christmas: Christmas was quiet with just the three of us but we were able to get a tree up and have a small celebration. The snow was falling really hard in the morning and we made cinnamon rolls which Connor absolutely loved. A couple of days after Christas my parents joined us and we opened presents.


January: The best news so far...Connor had his first birthday and crawled the day before. Our little man is growing up so quickly. He is also a smart little bugger. Yesterday my Dad was taking a nap and was snoring very loudly which Connor heard and proceded to copy. He also loves to lift up people's shirts and tickle their bellies.


Well that's it for now. Tom got me the complete Northern Exposure series on DVD and I finally have a few moments to watch an episode. I wish you all a peaceful New Year.
