More Family Fun!

Our big news this week was that Little N's Uncle J came to visit for a few days. He has been in the Dominican Republic for the last 5 months with his fiance, B, who is in the Peace Corps. On his way back to Missoula, he stopped to hang with the family. Little N was VERY excited to have his buddy J here. They became good friends this last summer when Uncle J hung out with him at least one day a week. J had to leave on Saturday morning though to make the road trip back to Missoula to begin school on Monday. We will miss you Uncle J, but don't worry, we will come visit! This is a picture of Little N and his J, though not from this recent visit(P forgot to take out her camera the whole time! Bummer!).

We did have some other fun this weekend after Uncle J left. On Saturday, S went to work to do some side jobs, so P and Little N went out to the zoo with their friends C and Little Miss M. Little N had a very good time and was more than happy to just follow Miss M around and copy everything she did! Then, that night we went over to Little N's friend T's house for a night of running around the house, chasing each other, and playing to the point of exhaustion! P and S had fun too, as T's parents are good friends of theirs. When P goes back to work after having the new baby, Little N and baby will get to spend a couple of days a week at T's house, which we know will be lots of fun for them. He also will be going to T's house for a week this month when our friend TR2 goes on vacation to Barbados. Today we are mentally preparing for a 5 day work week. What torture...I think the holiday season has spoiled us! One thing we do have to look forward to is that we get to have an ultrasound for the new baby the next Monday. P and S are NOT patient people and are really hoping that baby will cooperate and we can find out if Little N will be getting a little sister or brother. Right now if we tell him that Mommy has a baby in her tummy, he shakes his head and says "No," but we are hoping to convince him one of these days! Happy New Year everyone!

Love,

P, S, and Little N
