So Where Have We Been?

OK, so the Christmas pix aren't up yet and we never formally wished you all a happy new year, but hopefully you at least saw our Christmas card-- better late than never, right?

I'll get some catching up posts in soon, but until then, yes, we are all alive and well! Mugger got his first black eye at school-- no, not a fight but an errant scooter in PE. Bug has now taken to drawing "birthday spiders" on cards (starting with her one for Baby Jesus), but we have no idea where she picked up that idea!

We spent last week in Montana for an unplanned vacation. Papa's Grandma had remarried almost 4 years ago at the ripe old age of 91, but her husband, Guy, has preceded her on the journey Home. The memorial service was Friday, which also happened to be my birthday. Bug decided to make it memorable by puking all over the second we stepped foot in the church for the service! Oh well, at least they were both healthy enough for most of the visit to enjoy their time with their Montana family, especially their new cousin, Rogan. Pics coming soon, I hope...

So what's been keeping Mama from the blog? Well, if you see these posts in an e-mail or feed reader, you may not be aware that my little Etsy shop has been up and running. It's start to take off, so I've been making hair accessories left and right! If you'd like a chance to win some, I'm hosting a giveaway this week over at my shop blog at this post-- and yes, family and friends can enter!

Hope all are well!

Road Trip 2007

Since Mama ran away to Europe, Papa figured the best thing would be to get the kiddos out of the house. His mom flew down from Montana and they took a two-week road trip to Montana and Oregon. Here's Papa's family gathered at Uncle Tim and Aunt Nicole's place. Notice Grampa's wonderful Eeyore impersonation!
After time in Montana, it was off to Oregon to stay with Bug's godparents. Mugger's godfather came down from Washington to have some time with the kiddos. He managed to catch them for a moment while they were tearing around the yard with Ben and Abbie.
