Good News

Well, I haven't been blogging like I wanted to but hopefully that will change now. Our computer has been really slow and just to post a blog took hours. We were having some other problems with it as well so we went out on Andy's last day off and bought a new computer. It is super fast and we're both happy to have it. So with that, I can now blog in just a few minutes.
It's been a pretty crazy month for us. Andy is doing another month in the ER, which he enjoys, but he is working crazy schedules with lots of weekends and nights working so I feel like we haven't seen him very much at all. Fortunately, today is his last day on this rotation and we get him for the whole weekend. On Monday he starts doing a Trauma rotation, which probably won't have a great schedule either, but we'll see.

Eden is growing up so fast and moved into her "big girl bed" at the beginning of the year. Her crib converts into a toddler bed and she is so proud of it. She has a new pillowcase with the Disney Princesses on it (her choice) and she loves being able to get in and out of bed by herself. She is big into painting and coloring and cooking in her kitchen (and my kitchen). She got some 'dress ups' for Christmas and loves to walk around wearing them with various hats. She talks my ear off and is really funny sometimes. I'll add some Eden-isms in this post. The list on the side isn't working out the way I wanted it to. Here are a few fun pictures from the month.

Eden climbed up on her little red table to read John Grisham while I made breakfast one morning.

Eden loves to snuggle with the cat (and Bea and Ernie of course).

Eden wearing a dress up skirt and my slippers. Silly girl!

Happy New Year!

Well, I didn't get to blogging in December like I thought I would. It was an extremely busy month and we have a very slow computer. Two things that don't go together. Hopefully January will be slower and we can get some more blogging done.

Andy is on the activities committee for our ward and so he helped out with planning our ward Christmas party and made sure Santa was there safe. It went really well and Eden even told us she would sit on Santa's lap and tell him what she wanted for Christmas. We really hyped Santa up so she would be excited for this. Once we got up to see Santa, Eden did not want anything to do with him and she cried when I tried to put her on his lap. Fortunately, Santa already knew what she wanted because he had been told many times at our house already.


Andy got the week of Christmas off, which was really nice, so we decided to go to Utah for a week and be with our families. The driving was long and we still don't have anything good to say about Wyoming but it was nice to have a little vacation. Eden got the "Thomas Train Set" she's been asking for, as well as a tricycle she is learning to pedal on the concrete floor of our basement.






We had a great Christmas and hope all of you did too. Now we're ready for 2009!
