Teeth, Trips, and Twenty Two Feet

A lot has happened in the time since my last blog post. We have been super busy with our annual trip to Washington, snow days, and a first for Sabrina!

I should start with our annual trip to Washington to visit my fabulous in laws. I have to say, that as rare as it is, I love my in laws. I do not think that I could get any luckier. I have a mother in law that is literally like a second mother to me, and loves my kids just about as much as I do! My father in law is also an amazing person, who is always there with a joke and always manages to put a smile on my face. I see so much of my husband in these two people, and it is great to spend time with them. The great thing about this trip is that Sabrina got to meet her Grandpa for the first time, as well as three uncles, one aunt, and one Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. I unfortunately was bad about taking pictures and only managed to get some of Sabrina meeting Grandpa for the first time.


I think it is pretty safe to say that it was love at first sight for both parties! We had a great week with family (that even included Mom and Dad getting to have an evening alone WITH NO KIDS!!!) 

Also big news in our neck of the woods, was a massive snow storm that hit about a week before Thanksgiving. I was less than thrilled about it, because I hate driving in the snow. Ben, on the other hand could not have been more thrilled to get to play in all the snow, and when asked how much snow there was he replied with a sweet "about twenty two feet". He was able to build his first snow man (with Daddy's help) and even got to watch the puppy try and chase the snow flakes





 The biggest news of all comes in the form of a little bitty tooth! That's right people, Sabrina got her first tooth just last week. It took her long enough and I have been swearing that it was coming in for about three months now. I know it is only one tooth and she still has so many more to go, but it is a start and as soon as she gets a few more she can start eating fabulous foods like spaghetti and pizza. For now we stick with the mushed up stuff and yogurt melts. She is growing up so fast and it seems like she has a new trick every day, between crawling and standing up on  furniture I feel like I can not keep up. It also comes as no surprise that she is just as stubborn as her Mom and Dad and will not let me look at the tooth for more that a nano second let alone take a picture of it, so there is no picture of the tooth (yet)!
