Update on the Philburn's

We had a great time in Michigan. It was so fun to see both of our families and have them see Ann. She is so BIG!! I have a lot more Christmas pictures to post but for some reason i am not able to post them right now so i will just update everyone a little bit.

We were in Michigan for about a week we were able to see my whole family and Scott's family. We went up Christmas day to surprise my Grandma Syracuse (who just turned 80 yrs old) and almost her whole family was there! She had no idea we were coming and than all 6 of her kids and most of her grand kids were there john had to work so he wasn't able to be there :( ... Dang it! IT was great to see everyone... it had been a while.

While Ann was in MI she got 2 teeth, mastered crawling and started to pull herself up on everything! She is getting so big! It was great to see everyone! On the way home we were bumped to first class so that was awesome! An Marie did pretty goo on the plane ride back she was just really sleepy and totally off schedule! With the time change and getting teeth she was up several times every night that we were there.

When we got back we were home for 3 days and then went to Idaho for Scott's nieces baptism. Now Idaho can be on Ann's list of places she has been before a year old! We went for Mateya's baptism and we spent the weekends with Scott's mom (who flew out a few days before we got there), Scott's sister Tammy and her family and his other sister Jaime. We left after Scott got back from work and as we were driving in the snow and ice our coolant light came on, as well as the check engine light than when we pulled over so i could get in back with Ann we pulled into a mud pit and got stuck! After Scott was covered in mud we finally arrived much later than anticipated but it was a great trip and we are VERY glad we went!

Now we are home. Finally home sweet home! Ann is still teething so sleep is something we dream about over here :) Hopefully the worst is over with. I have come down with a cold but hopefully it doesn't turn into more than that!

Hopefully I can put some more pictures up of Ann and her first Christmas so check back in a few days!
