Family Pictures

Last Saturday we had some family pictures taken. I was worried that Carson would be crying, or spit up, or something during the pictures. I was proved wrong and was a perfect angel the whole time. He didn't start crying until right when we left and had a major blow out. I was grateful that he saved that until after pictures were over! We have been staying here in Missouri with the Burgin clan for two weeks now. The weird thing is that even though Chad and I have been married almost a year and a half, I've never been around my in-laws for this long before. But I can honestly say that I have had a great time being here with them. I feel so blessed to be apart of their family. Here are a few of my favs from our family pictures.

My cute nephew Ethan

The whole fam. Sure are a lot of boys! :)

Our little family

My sweet baby boy. Carson is becoming quite the little chunk weighing in at a hefty 10 pounds already!

All the Burgin girls together.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Missouri! This year we came down to Missouri to be with Chad's family for the holidays. It has been great to be here since the whole family is all together for the last time for the next few years. We are having a fabulous time so far and loving having a break from school and work! We hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas!

5 weeks old all dressed up for his first time at church. He is such a sweet little boy!

The big number 9

The past couple of days we have got slammed by cold winter storms. Today we had a high of 9 degrees!!! Really only 9 with a wind chill of -6! Brrr.... that is way too cold for me! Both yesterday and today all the schools were closed along with many businesses. Last night I decided to venture out to the gym (which is at our apt clubhouse fortunately!) and had to bundle myself in layers upon layers in order not to freeze to death by the nasty wind. I really could do without the freezing wind in the winter. It really does make it just plan miserable to be outside for more than about thirty seconds. Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be a bit better so I can at least go to the store since we have no food. Since we have basically been snowed in for two days now I am kicking myself for not being better about food storage. I guess I should take it as a warning and start being more prepared for situations like these.

Speaking of the number 9, today is the 9th of December, which was suppose to be Carson's due date. It's crazy trying to think how it would be if I were still pregnant. Thank goodness I'm not!!! I'm so grateful to have this sweet little boy in my home. I love just watching him and love seeing all his cute faces and little smiles. Now if I could just change one thing, it would be that he would let me get a little more sleep during the night.
