happy birthday mom!

6 weeks

So I'm sorry I keep posting pictures. She just keeps changing. She's 6 weeks today and we've gotten a few smiles from her. It's fun to have her personality start to show! 15 days till Christmas...and just a few more till we come to visit...we're so excited!

Love you all...

Well, since I am not so good at keeping in touch on the phone regularly I'm updating you guys the best way I can in between feedings and carpools and everything.

It's been quite an exciting week for us...first of all Tom bought me a minivan. I love it! it's so roomy and just so nice to have a car we fit well in and I can drive other kids in.

It snowed here! We got about 3 inches first, then 2 days later woke up to another 6. The boys play outside for hours. It's been great!

Another thing that happened this week is quite bittersweet. Tom's partner found out he has a bulging disk on his spine (by his neck) and has to have surgery this wednesday. He will be out for a full month and then coming back slowly in January. What does this mean for us? Tom is working all of December (with the exception of Christmas/New Years) and all of January. It's a slow time of year still, but he was originally scheduled to work only 4 days the whole month of December. We feel terrible for his partner, but just glad we are here so he didn't have to shut down the office for 2 months. Tom has to fly back new years evening now to work on the 2nd, but that is fine with us...after such a slow start here, we'll take all the work we can get!

So that's about it. We're counting down the days till Christmas!
