We're finally back in Maryland, much to my dismay! I love visiting my family and it's after trips like this that I feel the difficulty of living so far away from family. I have a ton of things to do already now that we're back. One of the most depressing things is finally putting Eli in his own room. I'm going to have separation anxiety from not having him right there to look at in the morning.

Eli has some adjusting to do as well. We had pretty much constant attention in Utah so now that he doesn't get that from Mom and Dad, he gets pretty vocal about what he wants. So we'll have a couple long days from that.

Oh, while in Utah, Eli started to giggle. It's so so so cute. We've yet to catch it on video (Eli's video shy). I love it though and would do anything to hear it more often.

As promised, here's pictures from Christmas and New Years!

Eli is so cute! He's getting bigger all the time. Its still weird for me to think of all my friends being moms! But I can tell you are a wonderful one! Next time you're in Utah, let us know, and maybe we can get together!

He is getting so big. They grow up way too fast! The trip looks like you had a blast.

I love the pictures. How wonderful to spend time with both of your families.
Eli is absolutely adorable. Isn't being a mom the greatest!
