Just wanted to take some time to post a few miscellaneous pictures and give a quick update.

Rhys turned 8 months old on Tuesday, hard to believe it’s been 8 months already!  He is getting closer and closer to crawling, but he just can’t quite get it yet…that is probably a good thing for me!  But I can’t wait to see him able to move around and explore   He got to open his first present of the season on St. Nicholas Day.  He got a doorway jumper…it was a little to big to fit in one of his shoes…but he has had a lot of fun with it!  He really loves the wrapping paper too, everytime I am wrapping presents he is trying to get his little hands on it!  I can’t wait to see how much fun he has on Christmas.

Erik has been very busy back at work, and unfortunately is working long hours right now.  But, hopefully he will get a much needed and deserved break over the holidays.  As for me, I have been sick the past week, but I think I am finally on the mend.  My dad sent me some beautiful flowers yesterday (there are some pictures of them below) they really helped brighten up the dreary winter day!

We are really looking forward to having our family visit this weekend and next week!  It is great to be able to spend the Holidays with family!  I’m sure Rhys is going to enjoy all the extra spoiling that is coming his way too!
