I love my Mom

So my Mom came in to town this past weekend for the baby blessing of Eva's new baby girl, Serra. It was great to see her, we got to spend time together on Sunday and talk and hang out. I wish we weren't so far away, I miss her hugs and all her encouragement.

Today I made a birthday cake for my nephew Michael. It is a space ship.













I am 12 weeks pregnant now and finally feeling some energy return. I am not a fan of the first trimester that is for sure.

Home again

So here we are back in Portland. Today's been kind of strange because you know when you come off from vacation you seem to feel kind of lost, well I've been feeling like that all day. I feel unmotivated and not quite sure what to do with myself, plus there's no good food in the house.

We had a really nice time over our Christmas break and really enjoyed spending time with our family and friends. I've really missed California and it was nice to be back for a few days. Jenny and Chris let us use their apartment, car and car seat, since they were in Idaho, which was nice because then we didn't have to take so many things on the airplane and also Jacob slept better being in a crib and did very well with all of his naps. The only thing different this Christmas was that we didn't have very many desserts; no Egg Nog, pies, cakes or ice cream however we did have some awesome Rice Krispy treats that John made. I didn't mind the lack of deserts since I wasn't feeling very well the whole time anyway.

I'm looking forward to the New Year and all of the changes that life will bring, the biggest change of all will be the addition of a new baby to our family near the end of July.
