Xmas in MI

We had a great holiday spent in Michigan! Travel went relatively well and the 2 week trip was filled with lots of fun including: 2 baby showers, multiple family Christmas', snowshoeing, game playing, eating, and time spent with family/friends. Here are a few pictures of the fun we had during our visit. Both the Denja and Redmond blogs also chronicle the fun that was had by all.

In other news, it is back to work. It was a rough first couple of days, but alas it's back to the grind. I will have some unique challenges this new year as I embark upon my new role as Manager of the section in which I had been working. I found out about the promotion just before leaving for Michigan and am anxious and excited to start this new chapter.

In other news, the latest set of Doctor's appointments went well. I am now at every two weeks with the OBGYN and the blood sugar is still below where it should be. We have received lots of baby gifts from family and friends, including a bouncy seat from cousins, a carseat from Grandma and Grandpa, and clothes and toys from Aunt Teri. We also received lots of gift cards and money that we'll need to decide how best to spend.

Thanks to everyone for a their generosity and love! We are so thankful.
