Cross/Lockwood visit

We had a post-Christmas visit from the Cross/Lockwood crew. My Aunt Rachel, Uncle John, Cousin Mary, Cousin Noelle, and Uncle Ben all came to visit us in Little Rock. Our days revolved around the kids of course. We had lots of fun and I am so happy to have met my new cousin. Noelle's smile is infectious.

15 Months

Here are some recent 15 month pictures. Miles is really getting talkative. It is babble mixed in with a few words.

Learning how to use a fork. A messy process.

Cars and ramps. This is a favorite new game.

Christmas without travel

Can you imagine waking up in your own bed on Christmas morning knowing you only have to travel 20 minutes to see family? We can testify that it is amazing. Traveling around Christmas is just purely a nightmare. We have had our gifts unwrapped by TSA and we have been through the pain of having all our gifts shipped. And this year we just threw them into the car. What a treat.

And this Christmas was even more special because my mom is also in Little Rock now. We have so much family here and around this time of year that is blessing and a half.
