Happy December!

Happy December!

We hope you are having a wonderful winter so far. The babies have had a healthy, happy, and amazing couple of months, with lots of growth and excitement.

Everyone is walking, to one degree or another. Sofia was the first to take steps and loves to wobble across the room and dive into your arms. Naty followed suit almost immediately and now sprints around the house. Matthew has gone from zero to fourteen steps in the last week, which is a big feat for such a tall guy. And Sam (the first to crawl) still prefers to crawl but takes steps when he thinks you’re not looking.



We have been busy (as usual!). We drew straws, and Naty and Sam flew to Seattle with Daddy and Mommy to visit Uncle DJ and Aunt Emily, while Matt and Sof stayed home with their grandparents.



The whole family went to Virginia for Thanksgiving to see Uncle Wes and Aunty Silvy (who are 9+ months pregnant!).



We had a bon voyage party for our cousin Natalia who went back to Argentina after staying with us for six months. We miss her so much!



We had to relocate to Aunt Kelli, Uncle Geoff, and KK’s house when an ice storm caused a two day power outage.



Matthew gave us a scare. In his neverending quest to explore and climb, he cut his forehead and had to go to the emergency room for four stiches.



And we have some sad news. We had to say goodbye to our dog Morgan, who died on December 10. She lived twelve happy years and was a sweet and loving dog who we will never forget. We know she was very special to a lot of people.
