Grandma Jean & Aunt Lori visit

Grandma Jean and Aunt Lori visited us this week.
On our way out to lunch on Thursday, Linden fell off a toy stroller and split open his lip. It wouldn't stop bleeding, and we thought we might need stitches. The ER doctor said that he would stitch an older person's lip, but we'd have to sedate Linden to put in and take out the stitches. We decided it wasn't worth the risk. Linden was a calm patient, and it was definitely more difficult for me.

December catch-up

We were a little busy at the end of December with a stomach flu and new baby... we never posted pictures from Chris and Jen's holiday party.
Here we are opening presents:

Go Pack, Go!!

Our play-group is meeting in a new location, rather than at people's houses. We're renting a church basement that is fully stocked with toys and climbing equipment.

New stroller

We bought a used Sit-n-Stand stroller from Craig's list. Linden has been having a lot of fun with it! He can get on and off it, or he can lean in and say hello to Emmett.
