Whew, we're back!

We went to Oregon for Christmas to visit with my side of the family (both my mom's and dad's). We got to stay with my sister and her husband, and my brother, and my parents (it was a full house, but lots of fun, especially in the mornings when Sean would wake up....I had someone I could "dump" him on and get some extra zzzz's, yey!). It was the first time since Sean was 2 weeks old that my brother and parents have gotten to see him. Of course they were excited to spend Christmas with him, and mom especially tried to take in as much of him as she could! We also did alot of visiting with uncles, aunts, cousins, and great-grandparents (Sean's that is). After we got back we turned right around and headed out to see Ben's family for the New Year's (Ben and his dad went to AZ to watch OSU play in their bowl game). Our car died as we were rolling into town, so we ended up having to bring back one of Ben's parents' cars (hopefully it'll be fixed by this weekend, so Ben's mom can bring it out to us). But we are finally back home after what feels like forever, and now it's time to try to get back into some kind of schedule. Sean had a few rough nights while away, and it seems as though he's still recuperating from all the travelling...which of course means a lot less sleep for me (sigh)! Well, here are some snapshots of the last few weeks.... enjoy!

Whew! We're back! cont....
