Happy New Year! Although... I'm not so happy right now. I'm very, very sleepy. It has been rough getting back into the swing of daily life after 11 days in Chicago-- work, kids' school, housework, ugh. My body just doesn't bounce back like it used to. The morning after we returned, I got up to nurse Audrey and get ready for work and I accidently fell back asleep in the bathroom! I guess I deserve it for keeping my kids out late so many nights during our trip. This is what happens when parents act like kids and bring the family home at 2:30am:
At least we returned to the warmer temps and sunny weather of southern Cal. Of course, not more than an hour ago an earthquake had me running through the house in a slight panic. I guess it heard we were coming home and it missed us! How cute of L.A.!
Both Jude and Eli hit milestones during one of our many trips to Chicago. Jude spoke his first word: "fish". Eli took his very first unassisted steps. And Audrey was no different. During this last trip, Audrey began crawling on her knees.
It was such a great holiday break. I missed my family and friends so much that not even the bitter cold weather could dampen my spirits. A few pics from our trip:

Of course, our family has gotten so big that you can barely see the tree:
Jude loved having an older cousin around:

Well... I actually do my devotional sitting on our bathroom floor each morning so I don't wake anyone up. I guess the rug was extra comfy for my super sleepy self that day.
