OK, I'm back from a long needed vacation. No, I didn't go anywhere tropical or fun. I'm just back to the blogging world. The Holidays were so fun and exhausting that I needed a hiatus.
I'm back largely due to an e-mail I received from my father today. I've copied and pasted it below:

I have sent your web site out to a lot of my friends – they are looking for an update – they are worried about Andy’s head – is it better?? Come on where are the new pictures – where is Popeye and Olive Oil’s picture – you have had that a long time – lets get it on the site.

This may seem a little demanding and forward but if any of you know my dad, it's all done in love and good humor...I think. So here ya go, dad.
Christmas was great this year. We had so much fun with all of Ephraim's family. So much fun that I was feeling very tired and worn out from all of the festivities. I thought I was just having a hard pregnancy this time around but realized after all the family left and went home that I just needed to take it easy.
(If you're wondering why Andy's PJs are zipped open...my son has a fascination with his belly button. It's a comfort thing. He sucks his thumb and puts the index finger of his other hand in his belly button. Wierd, I know. Any clothing that prevents this process must be altered).
Eph's brother Chris and his family came down for the week after Christmas and Ephraim took the week off. We did lots of fun things...Jumpin' Jacks, the Aquatic Playground at the Rec Center, dinners, movies, a New Years' Party and Parade, and lots of talking and food.
LOTS of food. My OBGYN cringed a little when I weighed in at my last appointment. This babe is livin' it up.
We have been taking it easier since everyone went home. Eph's sister, Summer, and her family also left after the new year. They moved up to northern Idaho for a new job. We had been living across the street from each other for the past 4 months. (Is it a coincidence that our move here and their move away came so close together?...hmmmmmm). We love them and miss them very much.
So, dad, I'm back. About the "Popeye" picture...I think it "accidentally" got deleted from my e-mail. Send it to me again and we'll see what we can do. Oh, and Andy's head his much better, thanks for asking.
