Update!

Goodness!  I can't believe it's the middle of December already!  Well, let's go back in time for a moment and revisit Thanksgiving.  AJ, Joseph and I went up to Idaho the Friday before Thanksgiving, by way of Boise.  We got to spend a night with Kevin, Amy and Chloe.  Unfortunately, because we were so scatter-brained and hopping from here to there and everywhere, I didn't take many pictures.  We left Kevin and Amy's Saturday afternoon and went to Pocatello.

We stayed for a couples with AJ's brother, Richard and his wife.  It was good to catch up with them.  We also got to spend a couple of nights with our friends Ashley and Russ.  Joseph had such a good time playing with Colter!  It's so sad that we moved so far away from them!  Joseph and Colter were in cahoots the whole two days we were there.  We hadn't been there long when Colter lifted up the toilet lid and Joseph promptly threw a rubber duckie right in.  They made a good, mischievous team.  We really enjoyed getting to see them.  We didn't get to see all the family and friends we had planned while in Pocatello, but we did get to go to our old ward.  It was good to see some of the people that left footprints in our lives.

We went into Grace on Wednesday afternoon.  My parents and sisters got in a little later that day.  My aunt Sherry was there and we got to see Uncle Dana too.  We had Thanksgiving on Thursday at the church.  On Friday, we got to relax and spend some time hanging out with family.  Saturday morning was our McCurdy Christmas party.  Joseph got a cool toy that looks like the dashboard of a car with a steering wheel, gear shift lever, and other fun buttons to push.  It sings and plays animal noises, numbers and ABC's.  THANKS RYAN!  AJ got a cool tool set ("You can never have too many tools!" -AJ).  I got a fun cookbook and a super cute personalized tile.  Thanks Troy and Amy!  It was a lot of fun.

We left Saturday afternoon and headed to SLC.  We spent the next few days with AJ's sisters in American Fork and Pleasant Grove.  It was good to see them again.  We miss living close enough to take spontaneous trips down there.  Joseph and Ruby were fun to watch play together.  Boys and girls are soo different.  Ruby loved her dolls and Joseph threw them on the floor.  Ah, well.

Nap Time!!!

It was fun trip and we got to see a lot of family and friends, but we were glad to get back home.  Back to our bed, back to Joseph's crib, back to not living out of a suitcase, and back to not packing up our belongings every couple days.  It's amazing to vacation, but there's no place like home... where ever it may be.
