Lots of excitement

My niece Addison has arrived! She is the perfect little chubby faced baby and I am going to meet her for the first time this morning. I can’t wait to squish her! From what I can tell, she resembles Heather’s family most, but has my brothers dimples. Too cute! She has a heart condition that is being watched closely and will undergo open-heart surgery in 4 or 5 months. Click on her name above to follow her progress on a blog my brother set-up.

We finished this week in a flurry getting ready for our road trip to Arizona. Our house is super clean, we got everything packed and then the extras needed for a road trip with two animals in a car across the country. We were ready to go on Friday afternoon, but were plesantly awakened to our phones rining announcing a snow day. Woo-hoo! Once the roads cleared a bit we hit the road and were able to make it to AZ a few hours earlier than we planned (we stopped a night in OK City, but originally hadn’t planned on making it that far the first night).
Our drive was a nice and surprisingly relaxing. Texas was the longest stretch because it’s the most plain. The mountains were fun - Mike had his first lesson in switchback driving and has decided I’ll be driving home for that stretch. ;)
We made it safely to my parents house and the pets (who sat on our laps and left the back of the car empty for most of the trip) are happy to be at the house, too. 

We’re here in AZ now and ready to visit with family and friends. We’re also excited about an upcoming California trip to visit the theme parks and a session with one of my best friends to take some engagement pictures.

I hope those in wintery weather are staying safe and warm and I hope those in these nice temps with Mike and me (yes, me is correct here) are also safe and enjoying the lack of snow and ice!
