New Post for a New Year

This have been fairly busy lately, with Hil finishing up a semester in school (with a 4.0 no less!!), a trip to Michigan for a family Christmas, TJ 'fixing' (more like organized destruction) up the house, and TJ coming down with the flu. Please note that he also go his flu shot this year. Go figure.

Anyways.. We went to Augusta, Michigan to spend the holiday with Hil's Dad and her Step-mother (Smother), her sisters Rachel and Megan, Rachel's husband Mike, and Aubrey, Elijah, and Georgia.. the nieces and nephew. Emma came and had a great time playing with the family, jumping up onto the counters for food and making a new friend in Lily, Steve and Patty's new pup. Here are some photos:

Hil and the Baby made cookies to take to Michigan.


Here's a blurry picture of the tree...


Georgia is already giving her cousin tons of love...


Georgia also got a long really well with Emma...


Emma liked Georgia so much because she always thought she was going to get something from her...


Emma searching the bottom of Georgia's cup for something tasty...


An action shot of Emma playing with Lily. They did really well together...


All that playing (the family for Emma and Wii for TJ) can be exhausting...

That about sums it up. Good times with family.... and it was nice to get out of the Burgh for a weekend, but once we returned it was back to the grind, and this is a short video of the project TJ is 'working' on up on the third floor. Hil's cousin Steve is coming to visit and help out this weekend... so maybe it will be a lot close to being complete and our company will have a nice bedroom to sleep in when the baby is born.
