Too fast

Why does time with family always pass by too fast?
Why do babies grow up too fast?

It was so nice to have family here for the holidays. We snapped a few photos of our adventures...

We spent the first part of Thanksgiving with my cousin and her husband and son. They were quite gracious to let us join in on their feast. A had a great time with his cuz:


And here is our happy family:

This photo of A cracks me up, because it makes him look even chubbier than usual (which is pretty hard to do!)


My dad and 2 of my sisters were here on Thanksgiving. They stayed for a few days and we had a great time. A loves his grandpa and his aunts!!! Hopefully next time more of the family will get to come. Here a few pics from their visit:


It snowed while they were here, and the girls loved playing out in the snow!!! I have a few photos of that on a disposable camera that I will try to remember to add later.

Today we had some more family come to visit. Troy's mom and great aunt from OKC and his aunt and uncle from Windsor, CO were here.


Also, my mom came up to visit today.


We all had a great time. It has been a bit stressful and hectic here with moving and trying to get the house presentable for guests. It was nice to just slow down and enjoy the time with family. I just wish the time didn't seem to fly by so quickly.

Before I forget... here is a photo taken from our deck this morning. We live in a winter wonderland. It is beautiful here.


Added Dec 1st... time for Granny G and Aunt Dorothy to go home. We will miss you both!

Sitting

Our BFB (big fat baby) can now sit up by himself! Sure, he's a bit wobbly at times... but he's sitting. He seems to like this new perspective.


And just because he's so darn chubby and cute, here's a close-up


Oh, and he's saying ma-ma now. I think he suspects that means me, because he notices it gets him a lot of attention from me when he says it.

In our new home

Well, we closed on the house 2 weeks ago. We have some organizing, cleaning and painting to do still, but otherwise have things in order. We love it up here in the mountains. It is beautiful and peaceful here. The weather has been absolutely beautiful.

Baby A seems to be enjoying his new home (though I'm sure he misses his Grams). We have taken walks the last two days and seen deer and even a bear. I admit, the bear was scary. I wish I would have taken a photo... but I was more interested in getting away before I scared the mama bear.

There's a lot of work to be done

You know it was a good walk when you see this
