So, uhm... how do I catch up?

Well, some things have happened since I blogged last. A few things... no, lots of things. Some big things, some miraculous things, some hard things, but mostly good things. To catch you up here are some pictures and quips about the last month.





We loved our Arizona Christmas! So much fun! Macy loved all the attention from Grandpa and Grandma and Auntie Lacy! She played with her 2nd (?) cousin Griffin (although this is about as close as they got, Grif was not sure about her) and we all had a wonderful, relaxing break. We also had our first Gibb family photoshoot since Gerald and I got married, Lacy got home from her mission, and Macy was born. Gerald's cousin Jamie took them, if you are in the Phoenix/Mesa/Gilbert Areas check her out weedfotos.blogspot.com





So after a week of 60 degree weather with the Gibb family, we headed back East for the Harper family Christmas. As if there wasn't enough excitement-- Macy got her first tooth on Christmas Day! Although this is a very difficult event to take a picture of, we did get one good one on Gerald's phone and I am trying to get it off-- when I do I will post it. She now has 2 beautiful teeth. Here they are


It was a real treat! All five of my brothers and sisters, all their spouses, and all their children in one house (Thank you Rachel!) for a whole week! It was crazy, but it was so much like the Christmases I remember growing up. There was a ton of snow, so much great food, and not a single dull moment! Everyone loved playing the Wii, especially Gerald. I was not very good at it :(. Most of the fun though was just getting to hang out together.






We enjoyed taking another set of family pictures, they were taken a week apart but look like completely different seasons.





We also took a quick jont to New York City where Gerald and I saw Wicked with Mom and Kirk, and The Little Mermaid. We took Macy on the subway, saw the Skaters at Rockefeller Center, Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and felt very urban. I would love to live there, Gerald would be happy to never see anything but Broadway.





So that was our wonderful, eventful Christmas. We had a wonderful time. We loved seeing our family, traveling, and taking a break from real life. But next year... we are going to Hawaii... alone. All things in moderation :).

After Christmas we packed up and moved! We have a new house! We live in Sherwood, OR on Vintner Lane. WE LOVE IT HERE! Once we get all settled I will take pix and post them.

So, nothing that big-- traveling the country, moving, craziness. So now we are settling, and we will keep you informed!
