Happy Holidays! It has been a wonderful, eventful year for our little family. We moved to San Antonio in December of 2012 where Luke started his job, and we are currently in Sierra Vista, Arizona on a temporary duty assignment. We are loving the southwest United States, but are definitely looking forward to seeing family next week and spending Christmas in Utah with the Bangerters.
Our pictures are far from professional this year as we don't know any photographers down here...
June is about 4.5 months old. She is happy and chubby and extremely vocal. We are a little concerned that she will outpace Ivy in size before too long, but at least she will be able to hold her own. She doesn't do anything fun yet, but we know that soon she'll be playing with Ivy and plotting against us.
Isn't Luke the best? He is. I'll tell you that right now. He loves his little girls and works hard to take care of us. He also loves his fantasy football and basketball teams - a love that I neither share nor fully understand, but he is very patient at talking me through it. I can't imagine having a family with anyone else.
And I am just counting down the days until I get to see family again (4!) and enjoying the mild weather. I thoroughly enjoy being home with Ivy and June and not-so-secretly hope that I have only girls forever. Perhaps a little brown-eyed baby boy will change my mind some day (not an announcement) but for the foreseeable future, Luke will be sadly outnumbered and outvoted. He doesn't seem to mind.
We love you, our families and friends. We miss you and want to hear from you. Call! Write! Visit!

Ivy is chronically itchy. It's a hard life.
Ivy is 20 months old. She loves to be outside and to read. She loves to go the the nursery at church and is 100% comfortable around strangers. She is my little companion, always more than happy to help with the cooking or to throw away diapers. Her favorite thing is to retrieve eggs from the fridge, though sometimes she goes rogue and I have to chase her around the house to get the egg back. Doesn't always end well. But we sure love her.
