I need two posts to catch up, and then we will move to the new blog. Tita came to visit us over New Year's, and the girls had a blast playing with her.

This winter was especially cold here in Little Rock, so we had lots of indoor fun. Here's a selection of pictures from January.

We enjoyed many holiday preparations here in Little Rock. Then we drove to Texas for four days, where we saw real snow on Christmas Eve which stuck around for Christmas morning. At church, the priest mentioned that in his 77 Christmases in DFW, this was the first one that brought snow on the ground Christmas morning! Poor Bella had a stomach bug on the day we drove down there and Christmas Eve, so she was still a bit under-the-weather on Christmas but recovered that weekend before we returned home. Afterwards, we had another mini-Christmas back in Little Rock with Michael's parents and sister.

Tita and Tito's Visit

We were blessed with a visit in January by Tita Christine and Tito Jordan, who traveled all the way from Seattle (mostly for a wedding, but also to see us). While she was in Little Rock, Tita stopped by Gabi's dance class and took that picture.

Michael especially likes Bella's hair like this.
She is pretty cute!

Before Tita and Tito headed back to Seattle, we took the opportunity for an extended family portrait session. Gabi wanted to wear her jacket, but as the sun was too bright for an outside photo shoot, Tita just took some informal shots of her outside before our official portraits inside.
