Amy & Tim flew in the night of the 22nd. I went and hung out with them all day the 23rd. We made some Christmas decorations & went shopping. We went to Gecko, then they came out to our house and hung out for a little bit. We hung out some more the morning of the 24th.

Christmas Eve was at my Uncle Monty & Aunt Jacque's house. We ate Mexican food, and played the white elephant (except w/good gifts). It was lots of fun. We ended up with a jar of candy & Christmas kitchen towels and a couple games.

Christmas day: We woke up around 6/6:30 and opened presents here. Scott spoiled me(as always). He got me some jewlery, clothes, & a laptop. (which I've been using since black friday). Harley got some clothes & toys. She was fun- trying to eat everything. Around 9:30 we headed to Scott's parents. Had breakfast burritos & did the white elephant game there as well. We got a suns beanie and games. We missed you Sean & fam! Around 2:30 we headed to my parents. We had some appetizers, opened presents & had a delicious dinner. After dinner we played some games. It was lots of fun! We missed you Scripps family!!!!

4 months...

Harley is 4 months old
She weighed: 13lbs 12oz (54%)
Her height: 24 3/4in (69%)

She got her shots yesterday :( I cried this time. I didn't cry the other times I've seen her get poked/shots. I've been kind of emotional lately, so I guess it's no surprise

I had toe surgery on the 15th. It's the same toe that I had done a year and a half ago. (left foot, 2nd toe). It has still been bothering me. So, this time the doctor went in & put a titanium implant (my joint was dead) and also a pin. He removed the pin last week in the office. (it just stuck out the end). I went back yesterday and it looked awful. Like a big blister. It was/is as big as my big toe. I have a picture, but I figured I wouldn't share it unless you want to see it. I was on crutches for 2 weeks. Long enough! I definitely hate them. So, we'll see how long I am in the boot for. I may not be able to go back to work next week, we shall see. The hardest part about it all is not being able to get up and carry Harley. We have been hanging out in the bedroom for the past couple days. Mindy & also my mom have been helping me out alot & I appreciate it so much!!

Next post: CHRISTMAS

Pictures with Santa (Grandpa W)

On Saturday we went to Washburns and Grandpa put on his santa suit and we took some pictures. Grandma Washburn bought this CUTE dress for her. Mindy made the flower. :)

I think she had had enough.

Christmas Time...

I can't believe it's Christmas time already! Time is FLYING by! Here are a couple pictures of the outside decorations that Scott did and some others of Harley. I'll post more pictures of the inside decor & pics of Harley w/Santa later...

She pulled her headband down over her eyes. haha :)

Enjoying the computer...just like mommy & daddy :)

14 & 15 weeks and more...

Here is another family picture that Mindy took for us...

Here are a couple pics from the last week. Also, there are more HERE

The past week+ have been pretty hard/crazy... Scott was put to part time. We updated his resume, got some applications filled out. He had an interview. Didn't get the job. Got called by his boss & was told they want him back part time. That all happened w/in one week. (his FIRST day off, 1/2 way through the day they called him & said they wanted him back) SERIOUSLY! Someone needs to think before they act. I am VERY grateful he has a job, but not so grateful for the stress they put him/us under for that week.
With me going back to work, him being put part time & holidays. oh what fun...

I am having surgery on Tuesday. I had 2 surgery's about a year and a half ago on my left foot, second toe. It has been bothering me a lot. The doctor is going to put a titanium implant in place of my joint (it has gotten very bad) and also a pin in it to lengthen it. Hopefully this will make a huge difference.

Harley giggled for the first time. (she has before in her sleep...) SO cute. She has been sucking on her hand like crazy. She is grabbing things and putting them in her mouth.
She's getting so big so fast! She's so fun & we love her SO much!

Have a great week.

Kari...

My heart & prayers go out to Kari & her 3 little kids and family....How awful that must be...I can't EVEN imagine!
