Washington

It was so nice to finally meet B in Washington after two weeks apart. Right out of the gate Bryson has lots of love from friends and family. Jenn met us on the plane and loved on Bryson till we met up with B, his Dad and Bev. Bryson got to met his other grandparnets, uncle and cousin for the first time. Next time we need to stay longer! We got some family pictures done, some more shopping and family dinners. It was a great time but a little overwhelming for a three month old. Next time they will want to get ride of us :)

Anchorage

Well, we survived the trip to Anchorage. Bryson did well on the flights expect for the first 10min of his very first flight he screamed his head off and I was praying that the whole flight was not going to be this was. Few, he feel asleep and was in and out of it until we got to Anchorage. I on the other hand was a wreck and exhausted but to top it off when I went to get my rental car I got a free upgrade... to a minivan!! Can you say booyah! Haha, it was a great ending to my day and a good laugh. I couldn't have done that first flight alone without the help of my Mom she is so good at going out of her way to help others and I for one did not take any of her time for granted. Thanks Mom!
The first few days we spent helping my sister and her husband move into their new house. (its amazing, like my little sister just showed me up amazing, lol) The Iditarod was starting while we were up there so we headed downtown and watched a few mushers start. Beautiful weather, lots of shopping or too much shopping and even saw a moose at 4:30am on the way back home from the hospital after Cora was born. Bryson hit his three months while we were up there and learned he had a voice. Lots of laughs, screams and blowing bubbles with his tongue.

My Niece baby Cora

This little lady had us waiting and waiting. Ten days past her estimated due date baby Cora arrived and already loved by many. All the family got to see her and spend a little time before heading back home. Bryson got to meet his new cousin and Mommy got to meet her niece. This little angel is going to have her parents wrapped around her finger in no time. My sister is going to be an amazing Mother. She did so great throughout her pregnancy and the birth!  Being a mother is going to make her life complete... until the next one... and next one.... ;)

The time is finally here! Baby Cora is due any day! All the bags are packed, tickets bought, and nerves in check. Man packing for a babies needs is crazy! Good thing we can check 3 bags in-state.

Rain Rain Go Away

I told B the other day I got us tickets for the Ark.... We have been drowning in rain here!! Although January was like spring February has been a little more on the rainy side but over all the daylight is progressing and that makes all the difference. B has been busy working and I have been busy being Mommy and also working part time for the month of February. Zoe loves going back to work with me. Anything to leave the baby at home and be with HER mom again :)

Bryson is two months two weeks and I think we finally got all the paper work for him completed and registered from Hospitals to insurances and SS#. We got his insurance card and it said "Baby Girl Brissette"... So we double checked and yup still a boy! LOL. One more week and we are off to Anchorage to wait the arrival of Brysons newest cousin! My sister is having a baby girl Due date March 2. I cant wait to be there and support her. I started praying a couple weeks ago for Brysons first plane ride. I have to admit I am a little nervous... but I did pick a later evening flight so hopefully he will sleep most of the time.
We are going to the Iditarod to see Angie Taggart start the 2013 race. Supper excited she is racing again and we get to be there!

B is going to meet us in Seattle after our time in Anchorage so we can spend time with his family and Bryson gets to meet his other relatives for the first time. Cant wait!
Bryson is in this routine that he only sleeps for EXACTLY 30Min then wakes up in the mornings. I am trying to put him in a room thats dark for him to hopefully fall back asleep. I am testing that as I write this... Wish me luck ;)
He is starting to become a little helper. He holds up his shirt as we change him and holds your had when you feed him a bottle. Dang kids grow up fast.

 

Our little family :)

Well, at least its not his thumb?!?!?! ...
