Our bundle of Joy

Hayden in his blessing outfit! He was so mad at me for not letting him roll over!

But the Binky solves everything :)

This was the first time he sat in his bumbo! He didn't know
how to act :)

But he soon got used to it and LOVES it

All bundled up to go out in the bitter Pittsburgh cold

Such a babe (notice Rylee in the background pouting lol..poor Rylee)

Hayden has some serious school spirit! GO PANTHERS!!

Taking a much needed nap after church

I want to blow this up and frame it! He is so dang cute and so much fun!
(Don't worry mom, Brett was standing right there so Hayden wasn't going to fall..I know that you're worried looking at it :)

I'm the worst blogger EVER! We've been back from our great trip home for Christmas for about a month and have gotten right back in the swing of things! Brett jumped right back into school and conquered 3 big tests!! I don't know who likes it better when a week of tests is over, me or him (ok probably him). We sure miss him but I keep reminding myself that this is why we're here! :)

I don't think I've ever been so cold in my life! There have been many days that with the wind chill it has gotten down to -20...um hi.....beyond cold. On days like this Hayden and I stay in all day! I'm getting cabin fever being cooped up all day but it's not worth going out in that! Poor Brett walks to the bus stop everyday (which isn't super close) and I've never heard him complain.

Hayden is almost 4 months now and changing everyday before my eyes! He is so much fun and so dang cute I can't stand it! I love him more that I can say!

Once again I can't say enough how blessed we feel to be here! Pittsburgh is less than pleasant in the winter, but even so we still love it! I feel like 4 years is going to fly by. One semester down...only 10 more (that includes summer semesters) WOOHOO

Hey so I'm a blog stalker... I can understand about the cold on some level. I just spent the last few weeks in Boston and didn't think it would be much colder than good ol' Utah.. boy was I wrong. Bitter doesn't even describe it! I'm glad you guys are doing well.. very cute family!

I, too, am a HUGE fan of binkies! Life could not go on without one (for each :) )

That is some serious coldness. I hope spring comes early for you so you don't have to pad the walls.

He really is so adorable Carlee! I love the look on his face in the first green chair picture - haha! But my favorite is the smile in his bouncy chair - so cute!

Oh Richin's family..I hope that's not the last time the baby sits in his bumbo chair, because that is THE best picture I've ever seen.

We love you guys!!
Yeah for blogs!
