Family Update

Time flies when you are having fun! Sorry it taken so long for a new post.

Well, since the last post, TONS has happened. My family came to Provo for a few days to bring Jeff to the MTC. I still can't believe he is on his mission. We have talked about for ever but it is weird that the day actually came that we had to say goodbye. He handled everything like a pro. He will flying out to Australia on January 7th. Once my parents lefts, we headed down to Delta for Christmas. We were there with both of Benjy's sisters. We had alot a fun playing games and watching movies. This was Rees's first Christmas so it was pretty special. He slept through it beautifully. The important thing is that we got pictures to remind him later. We had Rees's blessing on December 30th. Both of Benjy's sisters and parents were there. We were so thrilled to have them there since Heather and her family are currently living in Indiana. My family, both sets of Grandparents, and two of my uncles and their families were also there. Benjy and I really value our families and it meant so much to have so much support of everyone there. We spent New Year's Eve in Taylorsville with Benjy's sisters again and the Rupp Family. We played games and ate pizza until the lack of sleep caught up with me and we had to go home. I made it to a whopping 10 o'clock before we had to leave. I think that means I am getting old. Great.

Rees is doing pretty well. I haven't had his weight checked in a bit but I think he might be looking bigger. I am going to take him to have him weighed just to make sure. He actually just grew out of his first outfit. Yeah! He had one great night of sleep but that is it. He was just working on his fake out apparently. He slept for seven hours straight one night but then went right back to waking up everything three hours since then. Bummer. He has started to randomly smile at everyone except me. I think he was purposely smiling at my mom one night while she was giving him a bath. It was pretty darn cute.

I hope everyone else is doing well. I love seeing everyone's blogs and getting the update emails. Keep me posted!
