The Holidays

Now that the holidays are over, we are starting to get back into a new normal.  I've started back to work and have started another online class towards my Masters.  Mark is also getting really busy at work again and has been busy working on Sunday school lessons.  And Jade has been Jade...keeping us on our toes as we usually have to entertain her as much as possible!  She has been a little bit of a stinker for her babysitters because she will not be held while taking the bottle!  Myca and Mom Stoller have to be very creative and usually have to end up giving her bottle to her in her car seat or rocker.  Her newborn hair is starting to fall out and I honestly think it's coming in red!  Red hair and a temper to match...oh boy :)  We still love our little "diva"- especially her little giggles when we say something she finds funny and when we tickle her! 

Here is Jade watching me as I prepare for something at work for the next day:




A little photo shoot one afternoon:



Kristin and I with Grandpa Fehr at the Fehr Christmas:

Aunt Pat came to dinner before our immediate Fehr Christmas and she was excited to hold Jade...who was not in a good mood that night unfortunately...

She is really getting into toys and other interesting items- including gift bows:



Poor Maxwell has been a little jealous of Jade, since Mark and I pay more attention to her than him...but he has been a pretty good sport:



Kristin modeling her new robe:


Teyden got a Teepee from Grandma for Christmas and he was loving it!


One day during the Christmas week, I had to go to work and Mark stayed home and watched Jade.  They found interesting things to do together- including him putting Jade in a laundry basket??!!


Todd came over that day too- we were so excited to have him back for the holidays!


At the Stoller Christmas, the newly engaged couple- Ryan and Ashley made an appearance:



And Ian, Ashlyn, Caitlyn, and Gavin enjoyed all their toys:




Jade and Myself:



Mark and I love watching Jade on the video monitor when she is sleeping...I had to take a picture of this one because her arms were straight up in the air!


One day I had several things to get done and Mark wanted to walk on the treadmill, so we decided to strap Jade to his chest...she seemed to really enjoy time with Dad...while watching a movie of course :)


Here is a great picture I got of her...mid-drool :)


Hopefully this post sees you all doing well and keeping healthy amidst all this flu going on!  

Love you all.
