Christmas Part II

Hello everyone! We hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and got to spend time with loved ones. As many of you know we went to Ripon for the long Christmas weekend. We started out on Thursday afternoon with a wonderful drive. Some of our family and friends drove the same route on Friday and it took them almost twice as long as normal due to traffic and weather, so we were very glad to get the drive out of the way with on Thursday!

The weekend was full of seeing family, three Christmas dinners, and opening presents everyday. It was very fun to watch Addie figure out opening presents. For the most part she understood how to rip the paper off or pull the tissue paper out of the bags.

I love giving my new baby doll kisses!

So we've been slacking!

Hello Family and friends,

Yes, yes we know it's been taking us a while to update things on the blog. Life has just been so crazy lately. It's the end of the year for lots of things. I'm (Tiff) busy with trying to wrap up my year for work. I had a 4 day trip right before Christmas to get in the last of the audits needed for work. We had a strict deadline at work that all of the audits needed to be done by Dec. 15. I got everything done in time. Now I'm just trying to finish those projects up. Trav was also on the road that same week. He was in flying through St. Louis to get to a study and then off to Kansas City and back all within 2 days. Needless to say, with 4 flights in the short time frame Trav came home with a nasty cough. We're still trying to get rid of it.

Here's 2 of my favorite pictures from Addie's nine month photo shoot. We had a blast with her. Even though she was a little cranky and tired the pictures turned out really well.

Until next time,
Love Trav, Tiff & Addie
