Sorry for the long delay in between post. My computer finally decided to quit on me and I wanted to wait and post pictures of Christmas ect. So to get everybody up to date I will start at Christmas.
We had a great Christmas. It was very relaxing, as all of our holidays seems to be, which I am thankful for and just a very nice time. On Christmas Eve we went to Kristi's parents house. It was nice because there were a lot of kids and just made it fun when they opened presents and running around with their new toys. They had a mexican feast prepared which I think was a first for me for Christmas eve, but VERY GOOD. Aidan had his first quesadilla that day. Aidan found a new friends there too, Crazy Uncle Larry. (I don't even think that was his but that is what we nicknamed him cuz he was, well, crazy and Aidan loved it). So that was a fun day.
Then Christmas morning we woke up and Aidan saw his presents from Santa. He still doesn't understand the concept of Santa but he did like his new toys. Then we headed off to Springtown to my parents house. We had a great time eating and opening presents.
Aidan is doing great. He is 17 months and just talking up a storm. He still says just phrases that Brett and I only understand but they are so fun. He says 'Hi' and 'Bye' and LOVES Elmo right now. As soon as he wakes up or we walk in the door he wants to watch Elmo.
We are going to the UK to visit Brett's parents on Feb 6. I am really really looking forward to going just kinda nervous about the flight. I don't do well on long flights and then we will have to entertain a 17 month old for 8 hours. So once I get passed that I really am looking forward to the trip. I have always wanted to go over there and it will be nice to spend see it with Brett and Aidan.
I have accepted a full-time job with Bank Of America. I consider this my big news by the way. It was a great offer and I am excited and scared all at the same time. I do not have the schedule yet for Aidan, but it will come together soon (I hope). My goal is to still not put him in daycare full time. The bank is going to be flexible with me but I need to get there and get started and put in some hours firsts. I start on 1/28 and am really really excited. Back to the corporate world.
My mom is not doing that great as of this week. Her blood test are coming back showing the cancer has spread so we really need to find that medicine to that stop spreading. Just please keep praying for that to happen very soon. She is in great spirits and mentally feeling good just in some pain where the cancer is. I appreciate your prayers.
Thats it for now. Aidan is home sick so we are in for a couple of days. I guess better this week than next week, huh?
Hope everyone is doing great.

Glad you sent an update with pictures. Aidan is so big and cute! Email me your mom's address. I'm sorry it has been tough for her lately, but am very prayerful that the right medicine will be figured out soon.
Look forward to hearing about your first day at BOA!!!
Aiden is adorable! He's really growing. Sounds like you had a great Xmas -- and enjoy that trip to the UK!
I didn't know about your mom. Mine went through something similar about 8 years ago - it's really tough. Many prayers coming your way. :)
I'm glad to get an update on you guys! Glad you had a great Christmas. I didn't know about you mom. She and your whole family will be in my prayers. Congrats on the new job, too!
