NC in January

My friend I worked with at the medical center was ready for a vacation, so we drove down to North Carolina together for a week vaca at my parents' house. It was super nice and relaxing. 
We were able to check out the Natural History Museum downtown and it was pretty sweet. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I think my favorite part was the cafe. Amazing chocolate chocolate chip cookies! haha
Grandpa was only there for a day before flying to Utah, so we had to make the most of it. Reese loved playing "swingy" with Grandpa. (I have a video of it too long to post, but he holds the front of her pajamas and swings her back and forth. It's so funny because she loves it and gets really still and quiet at the beginning and then just starts giggling like crazy. 
We also made a trip to Fayetteville to visit Reese's great-grandparents. Reese got lots of attention and loved exploring! She definitely missed her Dad and was excited to see him waiting when we pulled in. Too cute.





A long time coming... Reese is one!

Reese turned one on 12-11-12 and the lovely, talented Amy Rex did her mini shoot. Let's just say I love how they turned out and can't believe I'm just now sharing them!

Holidays in California

I'm a bit behind due to not having a computer for a few weeks. While we were on vaca in California we got news our house in Ohio had been broken into. Ugh. Filing an insurance claim... not fun. Losing pictures and videos of your first five years of marriage and your first child's first year of life... depressing.
Anyway, here goes my catch up. California was so fun. Reese loved playing with her cousins. We enjoyed relaxing and catching up with all our family there. Not to mention the lovely break from freezing Ohio weather... When we got there, I had to go to urgent care and get an antibiotic for strep. A couple days later we celebrated Reese's birthday and had a big family get together for it. Reese got lots of awesome toys and cute clothes! We were able to go to Tom's Farms in the Crown Town and visit friends. We also did some shopping (of course) and went to a sweet bounce house place called Sky High, I think. Christmas and Hanukkah celebrations with family were awesome. The break from school was great, and spending it with family was even better. We were sad to leave. Here's the picture overload...
