Happy 2007!
We just got back from a road trip up to Washington to visit my (Jess) family and introduce Jude to everyone. On the way up we stayed with Mike & Adrienne & little Rosabel for a night and had fun hanging out with our babies- they weren’t very impressed with each other quite yet as you can see from the picture but we’ll give it some time!:)
We spent the rest of the week at my parents watching Jude, talking, eating, watching Jude, visiting family & friends, and watching Jude some more…it’s funny how a baby doesn’t have to do anything but we can’t take our eyes off them!! Andrew and I even got in a coffee date- alone- while the grandparents took care of Jude. We hadn’t seen my brother and sister-in-law and their kids since last Christmas so it was great to spend New Year’s eve and day with them. Little Alana was only a couple months old when we first saw her and now she’s walking! We also got to see my sister and brother-in-law who are moving to Ireland next month- we’ll miss them but it’s a good excuse to save up money for a trip to Europe someday.
Heres some new pictures from our trip and a video of Jude ‘talking’. Happy New Year!!!

We can’t figure out how to get that picture to work, oh well. It’s a fun one though- of Andrew and I smiling and holding Jude who is in a bear snowsuit crying and red-faced!:)
