ok, now onto why you all really read this blog: EVERLEIGH! our little booboo is going to be ONE year old next saturday! what a great year this has been! it has been so fun watching her grown and learn. her newest things are: high fives (thanks to auntie lindsey), LOTS of talking (maahh, dadadada, gahhgoogee), and though we're still working on that whole walking thing she can crawl like nobody's business!
Oh- and i'm sure you all know...but justin will be home in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS!!!! ahhhhh i was just telling him, i don't know if i've ever been this excited for something in my life!! this year has been long and at times tough, and we couldn't have gotten through it without the support of our amazing friends and family! so THANK YOU!! we found a great house to rent in tacoma, it's about 20 minutes from work for justin and gated (even during the day) for safety. i'm really excited to start decorating! i've even started painting some of our furniture to make it seem like new (and so it matches).
ok, here's the fun stuff...pics and videos from the past couple months:
