To my readers- Burrrrr.
To all my faithful readers-
sorry I've been slacking lately! We have been a little nuts. We left on vacation and 2 days after we returned, my Uncle got here with our new car- a 2002 VW Eurovan Weekender (pictures to come). He was here visiting for a week. Then 3 days after he left, Kyle left in his 1959 VW camper to head to Arizona for a VW show and a little vacation alone. My 1st few days with Madigan were going smoothly and I was finally getting some organizing done around the house. It started snowing the day Kyle left and it just kept coming. We have over a foot on the ground down here and Madigan and I had to head out almost every morning to shovel what we could. A few days after Kyle left I met with a lady you sells handmade items in a gallery in the Emerson Cultural Center. She wants to see my magnets and about 10 other things. So since then, I have been crafting about every free moment I've had (not many with Kyle gone). I'm going to have a Farmer's Market booth this year and am trying to decide what I'll sell at Tart (the gallery) and what i'll save for my booth. I have tons of great ideas and am so thrilled to finally have a reason to focus so much energy towards my "crafts". Stay tuned for more on that. In addition, it got very very very cold here this past week and we've been a little house bound. Kyle will be home in the next few days and then maybe (just maybe) we'll have a normal life again.

New Year in Pennsylvania
We rung in the new year in PA this year after visiting my family in WI.
Baby Tyler was already almost 7 months:
Madigan got to feed the goats lots of pretzels and even "hep" Pappy to put them to bed at night.
Here's us next to our "rocks". Each of Helen and Randy's children and their families have a set of rocks along a path near the house. Our 4th rock is the "eggrock"...hoping it brings us luck as we begin to think about the next baby.....
Madigan's 1st CheeseSteak!
What a great photo!!:
Madigan couldn't keep her fingers out of the goldfish bowl:

Home for Christmas
We got to go home for Christmas this year! It was so nice to be part of Christmas with the whole family. It's just not the same out here all alone on Christmas morning. This year we flew on Christmas Day and everyone waited to eat and open gifts until we arrived. Here's a few pictures:
Buried, but not forgotten- more December photos
Being Silly
Naya-If you don't eat that pig's ear, I will.

We're back
Well we're back in Bozeman after 10 days of vacation. We went to WI to visit my family and then to PA to visit Kyle's family. It's funny how different 2 families can be. We had a wonderful time with both and Madigan seemed to warm up by the end of both trips. It seems to me she really grew up this last week or so. She started bossing the dogs and cats around, and walking more. She's still a pleasure to travel with and gets comments from her fellow plane travelers on what a good baby/traveler she is.
We've been feeling pretty out of sorts today and a little grumpy since our vacation is over. I'll be posting tons of new pictures in the next few days.
Thank you to everyone who made an effort to spend time with us over the holidays. And we thank everyone for sending such wonderful gifts for Madigan! (Oh, to be a kid again!)
