Ringing in 2012

2012 is here and we rang the new year in with our friends up in Bremerton, WA.  Cory, Lindsay and Emerson hosted us and we had the perfect weekend of talking, playing with our girls, the boys fished and we even went out for a nice dinner on the 31st and the girls behaved!  (Dinner might have been at 5pm, but still we were out!)

We had Emerson and Belle lay side by side to compare size.  Belle is about the same length as Emerson, but she has a few pounds to gain to catch up to Emerson.  Granted "Big E" has three months on Belle.  They were enjoying baby talking to each other, slapping each other around and sucking on each other's hands.

 Scott and Cory went fishing on the lake by their house one morning.  Silly boys didn't wear long underwear or hats and when we walked down to check on them they were frozen.  It was a gorgeous day to be outside.

Belle even has a gummy smile in the cold.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  You know you are parents with infants when you eat dinner at 5pm because you need to be back for bath time and bed time.  It was the perfect way to ring in the new year and I wouldn't want it any other way.

2011 ended with a toast of sparkling rose from Switzerland, it survived the move!
