and so the new year begins...

I went back to vegas at least once a month for the next couple months until we eventually moved back... we finished off our new years trip with lots and lots of playing with axel... daniel and axel just get along so well... the run and chase each other all over the place. non stop.  its pretty dang cute to watch them together.

While in vegas we also went and toured a couple dental offices that we could possibly purchase,,, the first being this small ish office or it seemed small as in my opinion it had too much crap everywhere... the guy had very gaudy style decor.  but he wanted way too much money for what we wanted to pay. the second one was really nice and huge.  could fit 3 dentists if it wanted to... but his office was in such financial mess and the guy who owns it is in terrible health that he's desperate, but chris isn't super eager to work in a fixer upper project office...

we also had the typical sunday dinner at moms house with everyone but emily's family.  it of course ended with me making no bakes and then having them half eaten before they are even set.... hahaha

we then flew back to tucson....

around this time I got a nasty cold... that went on for the next 2 months and included one nasty sinus infection and zero weight gain for me... pregnancy is awesome... here's me at 17.5 weeks! really popping out and still hadnt gained any weight.

we celebrated our 4th anniversary! go us!  we did our usual fondue night... which we love... i struggled a little as it was difficult to chew being sooooo congested. 

Daniel and i enjoyed our typical lazy.... ish days at home... with him generally not clothed and using several types of media at once... and lots of sleeping in funny positions... and places

i also thought it would be fun to let him play with some rice in a bin.... yeah HUGE mistake.. rice everywhere... we were vacuuming up rice for the next 3 months... especially in the carpet.... it was bad.  lesson learned..

I also started work on this massive quilt for my mom's guest room... which she is calling the beaver cabin room... it has fun memorabilia from grandpa's cabin and now will have this awesome quilt made by me! 

I felt the baby kick for the first time this month... always a fun experience... and a little creepy... alien inside me.  

the end of the month i flew back to vegas to see Joseph and the Amazing technicolor dream coat with mom, emily, jack, laura, meesah, amanda... emily's friend brian from NAU was in it as one of the brothers, so he gave us a tour backstage and we even got to walk out onto the stage... very fun.
