Father Daughter Dance

On the last Friday in January, Jake and Abigail went to the Girl Scouts Father Daughter Dance (see same event last year). And this year, Bryony was invited to a birthday party the same night so I had a rare evening to myself. Lost in the forest of first trimester fatigue and sickness, this was wonderful!

Painting the Master Bedroom

Four years after moving in, we finally got around to the last room that needed attention - ours. The girls 'helped' Jake paint the walls.

 

Another Nephew

Introducing my third nephew - Parker Jack, born on his due date of Jan 21st to my youngest sister, Alexandra, and her fiancé Chris. Gorgeous isn't he?

Alex & Chris were convinced he would be a boy and were right! He has helped to solidify the family theory that the grandsons are made in England, granddaughters here in the States, ha ha. All of us are more confident in our prediction that mini-Madonna #3 will be a girl now.

Tennis

Abigail started tennis lessons and seems to be really into it, and pretty good! Nanna is happy - she has been asking about this for years - so now she'll have a little tennis partner when she comes.

 

Into 2015

So, now I'm caught up into the start of 2015. January in Arizona is glorious:
