Christmas Time

Becca had her first Christmas (x2). She was super excited about all the wrapping paper to put in her mouth, oh and she got some new toys too. The family loved to see Miss Becca (aka Ms. Claus, see pics below) and being together is always such a treat. We went to Michigan first and then headed to Franklin.


While we were gone, Chesterton got some great snow (about 4 inches) and it looks beautiful. Chris was out last night using our new snow blower with the headlight! What a manly man! We're home again and it's like we have a new kiddo because Becca is crawling everywhere...watch out!! Here are some pictures of the last few days...enjoy...

Back Home Again, in Indiana....

Hello to all from our new home in Chesterton, Indiana. We closed and moved on November 23rd. We are slowly getting settled. We also got a new car: a Ford Escape. What else...Chris is commuting for the first time in his life; it's 60-75 minutes regardless and he's tolerating it well thus far. Also, some of our biggest news, Chris is now a coffee drinker!!! Welcome to the club :) it's about time :) And....drum roll please...Becca is crawling! She is not yet crawling all over like a maniac, but when appropriately motivated can crawl 4+ feet. We can't believe it. She's cuter than ever and seems to be liking her new home. Both my parents and Chris' parents have been extremely generous with their time, sweat and money helping us out getting set up: painting, cleaning, de-wall papering, organizing, lighting, programming, etc. We would be light years behind where we are without their help (we love you). I have some before pictures of the house I will post, but realized I don't really have any after pics yet, so those will be coming. Also, as usual, pictures of Becca. I will be back blogging on Mondays, so stay tuned!
