Pretend it's a Christmas card...

Wow, not a single post in January. Luckily, we made no resolution to be better bloggers. We (unfortunately) did not get Christmas cards out, but we cannot let 2010 pass without making a little comment on it. 2010 was a huge year for our family. It even had its own theme: The completion of many long and arduous processes. In summary Chris was accepted into graduate school, we had a baby, bought a house, quit a job, and moved across the country. Now here are random 2010 pictures that I like that haven’t been posted before.

For 2011 we promise to not move or have more babies, instead we intend to have as little action as possible, and that is the way we like it. Except lot of action from this little guy.

He can’t crawl, he can’t pull himself up, he can’t stand by himself (for longer than a second), but he sure plans on walking. 

Anywhoo to bring us up to date, we had and awesome Christmas break. We went to Chicago for Christmas and New Years.

Jack even had his very own handmade stocking from his Grandma. We ate goodies, did puzzles, went to the field museum, and relaxed. We then had a lovely January because Chris was still off school and stayed home. It was glorious. During that time we also took a trip up to Princeton, NJ to visit Dan and Laura, our friends from BYU who also studied chemistry.

Here we are at the awesome new Princeton chemistry building. I have to say I’m a little envious. Especially of their star-trek chairs.

We loved Princeton: the campus, the town, everything.

While there we also took a short jaunt down to Philidelphia where we saw Independence hall where the Constitution was signed and the liberty bell.

Not pictured (sadly) is us eating philly cheese-steaks. Once Chris went back to school, Jack and I took a short trip up to Seattle. Flying was not to fun, but we survived.

His overhead light fascination ended quickly and then we got company. While there, Jack like the cat

but was less enthused by the walk to the sound.

Meanwhile Chris was home alone with no power and lots of snow. I do like Washington (state) a lot (sigh).

And now we are back to everyday life.
