Merry Christmas

For all those we couldn't send Christmas cards to, Hope you have a merry Christmas and happy new year. WE couldn't be better here. Brynn is now 8mo. old and I swear she weight at least 22-23lbs. Over Thanksgiving she was 20lbs. My arm throbs after holding her for a while, and I can't really carry her in her carseat anymore b/c my back begins to hurt and she's just too darn heavy. But I am just thankful she is healthy and happy. she loves sitting in the shopping cart helping her mom with the shopping. She hasn't figured out how to crawl yet, so she gets around by rolling all over. She loves her daddy and gets so excited when he comes home from work.

Tom's doing great with work. He enjoys what he's doing but often tells me "I think I'll be ready to move on from medicaide come next August" We haven't been too concerned with looking for a practice yet. Mainly b/c we are not sure where we want to end up permenantly.

I will be starting work on January 5 on a surgical floor of the hospital. I'll only be working 2 days out of the week. one evening and one night, so Brynn will only be at the babysitters for 2hrs until Tom can pick her up. But we are enjoying it here in Montana, we just wish it would warm up enough to melt the ice off our cars and off the inside of our apt. windows. YES it's that cold! But we are enjoying it here and liking being closer to family.

New Carseat

WE had to get her a new carseat becuase she is just so big. Her infant carseat just doesn't work for her anymore. She hates going in it. The belts go behind her shoulders, but I think that's b/c we have that JJ Cole blanket thing in it. I just wish she would fit in her old car seat a little longer b/c that means my little girl is growing up----Too fast! But I stuck her in her new one and she loved it. I think she likes sitting up and being able to actually see things instead of a black seat and tinted sky in our car.

I would have many more pics. to post but unfortunatley we lost our camera with all of the pics. from months ago with Brynn on it at my mom's house, or somewhere, over the Thanksgiving break. So if your wondering why I havent done any posts since then, its b/c I havent gotten any pcis. Fortunatley we have our old camera that I gave Tom a couple years back, so we at least have a camera. Hopefully we'll be able to find it when we go home for the holidays.

Christmas tree lightup

Here in Great Falls they have a Christmas tree lightup downtown. Nothing compared to Pgh. light up night. I dont think many things here can compare to what it was like in the 'burgh. We miss a lot of things there. But anyway, we decided to go and bring Brynn. My mom gave us a snow outfit my oldest sister wore when she was a baby and thought she was just too darn cute not to take some pics. She looked like a little eskimo. Plus she BARELY fit in it. She is just so long it's funny. We had a good time, but it was Cold! But we all had a good time.
