My Little Drummer Boy

Deal or No Deal

Oscar getting all four of his molars at once. Poor little guy :(

Better Late Than Never...

So most people kick off the New Year with goals and a chance to start over, but here it is a month later and I’m just getting around to talking about Christmas… I can already see what kind of year it is going to be. My lack of spunk, if you will, is already down to four (out of ten). Having said that, here we go… It has been quite the holidays. For the holidays our wonderful parents flew us back to St. George. Kirksville nor St. George are in or near the big airports so on Dec. 19th we got up at 5 our time and headed to Kansas City (Missouri) to fly out. We had a connecting flight in Houston and then on to Las Vegas. From there both grandmas were waiting to pick us up. All in all it was 5 hours on the road, 5 hours in the air and a one hour layover. Quite the day but I'm happy to say Oscar did wonderful! Since we are both from St. George we spent the first week at my parents and the second at Christian. It seemed to work well. It was wonderful to see all of our family again. It had been two years since Christian’s family had all been together so that was really fun to see all four boys hanging out and playing together. Fortunately and unfortunately it will be another two years till we get to be together again because the youngest brother Stephen will be leaving for his mission in March. We are so happy for him and know that he will be a wonderful missionary! We were also able to see friends and new babies! I love the circle of life! So we ended up back home exactly two weeks from our departure date. It was nice to be home again. Christian and I had Sunday to sort of rest (church callings needed fulfillment first) and then it was right back into normal life. Christian had two weeks of no tests which is AMAZING so we actually got to go to bed at the same time. However from here on out he has two tests a week for the next seven weeks. Well that is the update. Till we meet again.
