A New Year

January 1st, 2011 ~ On New Year's Day we had a special visit from my good friend, Terra, and her family!  They live in Wisconsin and came to Eugene for the holidays to spend time with her family.  I wasn't sure if we would get to see them, but we managed to sneak in a quick visit.  I was so excited to get to talk with Terra and see our kids playing together so nicely.  I wish we lived closer!

Terra and I have been friends since middle school when my family moved to Eugene!
The Root & Ruddick kids (:

While the kids were still on winter break I made plans to meet up with Kelly and her boys at the Science Factory. 
Griffin telling Eli secrets (:

I included this so that I would remember how much Tate loves sleeping in his swing, especially at night (which I let him do so that I could get sleep!). (: After the holidays I started working on our nighttime routine, and started putting Tate in the cradle in his room.  Right away he started sleeping great and has already had a few 8-9 hour stretches of sleep!  It's not consistent yet, but I feel much more rested than I did at the beginning!

We enjoyed seeing you guys so very much! Thanks for your flexibility and willingness to let us show up for just a short amount of time - we loved it! And I loved holding your precious Tate. Thank you so much!!
