Well, 3.5 months behind - that's not too bad!! Guess you can tell I've been busy with Gary being gone. Well, we made it through the first semester and the best parts - Gary got a 4.0 & we are half way done! It's been very tough not having him around. I give so much credit to single moms and military spouses!
We have a good Christmas this year. We got to spend Christmas Eve at our house with just our family. We went to church that night and came home and opened presents. Then we went to Grandma Williamson's for Christmas Day and onto Grandma & Papa Naescher's that evening for our Christmas with them. Then we went to Grandma & Papa Mortensen's on Dec 29th for Christmas.
We have all been together for 11 days off and have been LOVING it! We've been super busy with all the projects I've been saving for Gary to be here to help, as well as putting together Christmas toys for the girls. We were wishing it wouldn't have been so busy but at least we're getting some family time and that's what counts.
Miranda starts at the YMCA for childcare on Jan 3rd - the same day I go back to work. It's going to be nice having her so close, but I am not excited to go back to work and have Gary leave as well. It's been so nice having everyone together! 16.5 weeks to go!!
Here are some pictures from Dec
