in january...

we moved into our new home for the next six months,

we went to a church to light a candle for larry who passed away one year ago,

and we thought of others who we love and are no longer living.

i took many pictures of my growing baby

who will almost be one year old!

new projects were started 

and finished.

ezra played xbox,

saw old friends

at a special girl's birthday party

where indy played alongside the big kids - because he thinks he is one...

ezra really is big now!

indy got into everything!  literally, he got into things like laundry baskets and toy bins too.

ezra put together indy's fire station from grandpa and grandma theresa,

played on the computer

and not on the computer.

michael and ezra got creative together.

we lit many fires,

took many warm baths,

pulled indy in the wagon,

and hung out at home on the ranch.

we spent a weekend at gigi's

where indy was his happy self,

but ezra came down with the flu.

indy got new walking shoes after he started taking several steps.  

everyday he's walking more but still prefers to crawl.

he pushed his kitchen into the kitchen to help michael who has taken to not only eating meat but preparing our daily chicken that we've been enjoying.

in addition to illnesses being passed around from one to another, the stresses that come with moving and finding a new rhythm, we take moments to stop and enjoy what we have.

it is awesome to be alive.  to be here and now.  to be with family.
