Future doctor or nurse?

Hmm, maybe she will follow in her Mom's footsteps!!

Had a great LONG weekend!

Tom had off today and we were very productive. We finally found the tile to finish our bathroom shower and picked out new carpet. We are looking forward to watching the inauguration tomorrow :) Here are some pictures I took with a new camera lens that Jean is loaning me. I am going to take a photography class in March so hopefully my pictures will continue to get better!

Someone found the dog bed!

Coley has enjoyed crawling into "CeeCee's" dog bed lately. She works VERY hard to get into it and thoroughly enjoys herself once she is in :) Tom just left for a work trip to Europe until next Wednesday night. It is going to be a long five days on our own, but we'll try to have fun without him (while he is skiing in the Swiss Alps)! We hope you all are having a terrific start to the new year.

Merry Christmas!

I got a couple pictures of Coley in her Christmas jammies (not the highest quality they are from my iphone). She is getting harder and harder to take pictures of because she is ALWAYS moving :) These jammies say, "What Santa doesn't bring me Grandma will" so true!! I hope you all have a terrific Christmas and I am sure I will have lots of pictures to post after we return from MN!

I won't reveal the ONE...

but here are some of my favorites I got while taking Christmas Card pictures :) I ordered the cards last week so they should be coming anyday!!

My attempt at Christmas card pictures

It didn't go very well. But I think after over 100 pictures I finally got ONE. Here are some of the outtakes!!!

Gracie!!

I FINALLY got to meet my niece Gracie this weekend. I went to Minnesota alone and spent the weekend with my family. It was the first time I had left Coley!! Tom did a WONDERFUL job taking care of her and they enjoyed some much needed Daddy/Daughter time :) Gracie is gorgeous and I had a great time. It will be fun to see what the cousins think of one another at Christmas. See you all again soon!
