December 2012/January 2013

Ok this is going to just be a quick update and  pictures from the past couple of months! I am so behind and need to catch up. The update for the Marlette's is: Andy is still working in Enid, I just started a new part time job at a small oil and gas brokerage, Lila Faye is still going to school and loving it, and Cam is growing so fast! He is going to be crawling in no time and is about to cut a tooth, I think. All he wants to do is chew on everything and is a super drooly baby. We have managed to keep the flu out of the house thus far (knock on wood, knock on wood, knock on wood). Christmas and New Year's flew by and here we are in February already. Geeez. We still feel like OKC is where we want to live permanently but time will tell. We are toying with the idea of finding a rent house since we are growing out of this duplex pretty quickly. No rush on moving by any means though!

The first pictures are finding our Christmas tree. It was a really fun Christmas tree farm, and I look forward to this tradition! We survived Christmas tree hunting this year with only one meltdown, a small amount of blood, summer weather, and a lovely pre-cut tree.

We were both able to attend LF's Christmas party at school and SANTA came for a visit! It was really cute seeing all the kids so excited/scared. Of course, our child was the first one to greet him and sit in his lap. She was not scared at all!! The picture of us is from Jenny and Roger's wedding weekend, where we actually had our first real "date" in a long time! It was a full weekend of fun and they had a beautiful wedding.

Santa did come visit us this year and LF was so excited! It was really a nice relaxing morning with a vegetable strata that I made and we even had our first White Christmas. That evening we went to the Daves's house for Christmas dinner and fun. We ALL spent the night there! It was so fun! The guys helped LF make some snowballs and she got a lot of new bling from her BFF's Brynn and Jenny. They were so sweet to welcome us into their home, and I feel really lucky we have met such a great group of people here. Then Andy's mom came up to visit the day after Christmas and stated til that Sunday. It was such a good visit but it ended much too quickly.

We also had company for New Year's which was super fun! Andy's SAE big brother Jake, his wife Lacey, and their daughter Leighton came up. We had DG come keep the kids so we got to have a night surrounded by adults! It was great and LF and Leighton got to have their first slumber party. More pictures to come soon!
