Last month update

Well, its been almost a month since I've posted anything. I say this is because of lack of content (I know, I know...that hasn't stopped me before), but really a lot has gone on, baby-related and otherwise. I've had a pretty lite rotation for the last 4 weeks and if there was anytime I was going to put up mad blog posts, it was then. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get busy....

In good blogging etiquette (thus saith Liz), I will try to stick to news for which I have a picture.

Well, as you may know, Christmas came and went and we were blessed enough to spend our first Christmas in our new house with a genuine artificial Christmas tree. See the difference:

Christmas 2005:















Christmas 2006:




It's like we're real people.









And as if that wasn't enough, take a look at our Winter Wonderland, right in our own front yard:




A tear to my eye...








Meanwhile, my String of Pearls plant has decided to put for some blooms this year. Like you care.














We got the chance to spend some time on both sides of Michigan. We had Christmas with both Chad and Bethany














...as well as with Ryan and Karina.














We also were fortunate enough to spend some time with the Kings from St. Louis..










...and the Popovits' all the way up from Texas.















Hannah had two showers, one in Flushing and one in Hudsonville (not shown).

Apparently due to a crafting accident during the shower, we will have no shortage of ornaments for the tree next year.














Finally, I end with some pictures I took today of the nursery. We're pretty much ready to go. Of note in the pictures is the window shade (whats that? no cords?), the window (whats that? condensation?), the room light (thanks to our resident electrician), and book on the rocker (from our St. Louis baby shower).



























So, that's us. Sorry for the psycho formatting of this post - too many pictures. I'm not even going to try to fix it.

You are so awesome at taking crappy pictures of people! You should really start your own photography company. I can't wait to see the pictures you take of the baby - right after it took a huge crap or spit up all over the place - it'll be awesome.
