2nd month!!

Yey, we've survived Jeremy's second month, and he's none the worse for wear (oh, except for the cold he currently has)! He's big and beautiful; at nine weeks he's a whopping 13 lbs 3 ounces and 24 inches long. We had a wonderful Christmas holiday, though we are glad to finally be home. Our holiday started with a trip to Visalia to see Ryan's side of the family: Zonda, Cliff, Jean, Bob, Danny, Rachel, Aaron, Casey, Kristal, Dustin, Grandma Donna, Grandma Monte, and Grandpa Gene. It was a full house and a total blast! Here's a picture of the chaos:

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from that trip:

Dustin's birthday is Dec 20th, and he turned 21, so he got a helicopter ride from Zonda and Cliff! Luckily for the rest of us, a lot of us got to take one, too!!

While we were in California, Jeremy had his first blessing at church. He wore this little white outfit that Sister Holt from our ward made for us. He looked adorable:

All in all, a wonderful trip. It was great having a dozen pairs of hands to play with Jeremy. After California, we headed to Alabama for the New Year. We spent the first couple of days with my mom in Tennessee, and we had Christmas with her, hubby Chris, my sis Lindzey, and her boy toy Mike. Here are pictures of our time with them:

Then we headed to Oma and Opa's four Christmas time with that side of the family.

Before we left, we took Mimi to our favorite restaurant (O'Charley's - they don't have them out here in CO. Sad) and got a four generation picture.

I know I didn't do a lot of chattering, but I had to cover a lot of ground. Besides, we all like pictures best anyways, right? If you want to see more pictures of our trip, check out our albums at picasaweb.com/venessaandryan.
Tata for now!!!
