December

We have tons of snow at our new house. We are high enough on the mountain that it does not melt quickly. Elli loves to play and make "cakes" of snow in her buckets. 


Dad shoveling in his winter gear. 


Nora loves her baths. We need to move her off the counter though because she splashes everywhere!! I am soaked by the end. 

Nora at 5 months old. Lots of smiles. We no longer call her "Cranky Nora" and she is doing so much better now that the colic seems to have resolved. 

Cute sisters. 


Christmas Sleepover at the Hansens.

CHRISTMAS EVE!!! Elli was so excited this year for Christmas. She got matching PJs for her and Baby Kate to wear. 


Christmas morning


Grandma Paula stayed over with us


Uncle Nicky - Alex's younger but bigger brother


 Family pajama time


A new car. Yes...Alex picked it out. I voted for the pink jeep but he wanted the Range Rover. She loves it. Baby Kate even got a carseat to ride with her until Nora is big enough. 


My sweet girls. I love them so much. Elli loves and adores Nora too. She wants to touch and hug her all the time. 


Merry Christmas Mom and Dad

Fall Fun

Cornbelly's with Mom



Thanksgiving Point Animal Farm



San Diego
I was invited to speak at the annual Rheumatology meeting in San Diego for all the teaching and work I have been doing at the VA. Amy came to watch Nora while I was at the meeting. It was fun to spend some time with my sister!!





Elli loves her baby sister

Disney on Ice with Autumn!! 

Naked car seat riding - I took the girls after work to get cupcakes but I didn't have the diaper bag. Thought we would be fine for a quick trip. Until Nora blew out her pants!!! Poo was everywhere. At least I had 1 diaper and 5 wipes in the car. 

She is so cute!

Mom and Dad at High West Distillery in Park City with Nora for a night out.
