2009 baby!

Can't believe that Sean is almost a year old.  The time has gone by so fast.  We had a quiet Thanksgiving at home.  Went to our bishop's house for Thanksgiving dinner.  I really missed by Grandma Ellis' cooking!!  There's just no substitute!!  Christmas was in St. George with my family.  As my dad so accurately describes it:  "the circus was in town".  It was wonderful, delightful, glorious CHAOS!!  My two nieces are just the cutest things in the world, and Sean just loved to follow them around.  He took his first steps on December 4th, but really started walking "around" over Christmas.  

Since then, it's been more the same.   Collin started a new semester at Northwestern.  I'm helping out with a high school tennis group two days a week which has been so fun!!  I mostly just get to hit in with the guys.  So I get paid to play tennis---I can handle that!!  Sean is just walking everywhere.  Life is a lot easier for me now that I'm not having to hold his hand while he walks around.  Three months of that got really old!!  He is just the most delightful, happy child.  You can get him to laugh now just by looking at him and smiling or laughing.    Collin and I both comment about how he has just seemed to grow up so much this past month.  Partially the walking, partially all 6 teeth now.  We don't know exactly what it is, but he just seems like a little boy now.
