Wow, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years have come and gone since I last posted.  The stress of the move has been almost forgotten, and the boxes have long since been unpacked.  We enjoyed Thanksgiving at Mom and Dad's house and got to meet our first niece, Bailey.  We enjoyed having Christmas morning at home and having the Elders over for breakfast, then had dinner with the Bertucci's and ended the day by heading down to Houston.  We were able to see the whole family over the weekend and were happy that we could be there for Peter's Eagle Court of Honor and to see Bailey be blessed. 

Since then Abigail was talked about babies non-stop and drags hers all over the house with her feeding and rocking them :)  She chatters all the time now and a good portion of it is actually real words!  She has been in nursery for about 6 weeks now and does better every time.  She loves to help me and is getting more and more able to actually do small jobs.  We moved her into a toddler bed at the end of the year and ever since she tells me that she is "big, not baby".  So apparently we only have big kids in our house now, not babies!

Joshua will be 3 in a few weeks.  I can't believe how fast my little boy is growing up.  He loves to play outside and help me take care of Abigail and Riley.   He checks every morning to make sure that Riley has enough food and water and helps me to refill his bowl if he needs something.  He has officially outgrown his carseat and graduated to a booster.  He likes that he has a big boy seat now :)  We have also put away all of his sippy cups and I am happy to say we have not had a spill in several days.

Tommy is happy to finally be done with school, but is keeping busy at work.  We still don't have callings in our new ward, and with both of the kids in nursery we are able to enjoy our classes for the first time in years!  Tommy's parents are coming back to the States for a visit in a few days and the kids are excited to see Gigi and Abuelo for the first time since last June.  We are settling into our new community well and are loving our new house.  We are so excited to see what this year has in store for our family!
