Finishing off 2010

So, I kind of feel like this year flew by. I'm going to go ahead and use that as my excuse for not blogging more...the year went by so fast that I just didn't have time. Okay, so that's not really the case. If I've done the math right, 365 days x 24 hours = plenty of time to blog. I've just been a slacker. I can admit it. But one of my goals for 2011 is to blog more often, so now I have lots of room for improvement!

I'm going to go ahead and share a few things from the last few months that never made it on here. I think I left of with Jane joining the family, so here are some of the things that have happened since then...

In August, my parents came to visit and meet Jane. We spent lots of time visiting D.C., eating yummy food, and hanging out. Joe's mom came in August too, and so they were all able to be here when we blessed Jane in church.



I can't remember anything too exciting that happened in September. (Maybe that's why I need to blog more consistently!) I did spend quite a bit of time hanging out with these two:

In October, we enjoyed the Fall weather by going hiking at Great Falls Park. Henry was a trooper and walked almost the whole time by himself, picking up lots of sticks and rocks along the way.

We also went to Great Country Farms to play and visit the pumpkin patch. Henry enjoyed picking out pumpkins and helping carve them.

Henry and Jane were both monkeys for Halloween. John, Susan, and little John (Mickey Mouse) joined us for our ward's Halloween party on Friday night. On Halloween morning we celebrated with pumpkin pancakes.

In November we headed to Arizona for Thanksgiving. We were able to have a nice long vacation and spend time with my extended family on both sides. It was great to see people family that we hadn't seen in 2 years, and to meet some new cousins.

The day after Thanksgiving we went to the Suns game. It was the first time that Henry, Jane, and I had been to an NBA game and it was lots of fun!

December was a lot of fun. Henry knew what was going on a lot more this year, so he really enjoyed the Christmas season.

So, in a nutshell, that was the end of our year. We had a lot of fun and are looking forward to making lots of new memories in the year to come. Happy New Year!
