Guess who came for a visit?

Jen & Miss Aubrey Trzeciak!!! Jen is my good friend back in California (I threw her a baby shower awhile back for all you blogger followers). Ryan, her husband, graduated with Glen last year together. Her sister lives about 20 minutes from Glen & I so she came to visit for a few days. It was so fun to have them here. Jen has been a great encouragement and friend to me the last few years so I praise the Lord for her. Oh...and one little sidenote, we have already worked out that Micah and Aubrey will be betrothed someday. Micah & Aubrey Thompson...has a nice sound to it huh :).

Emily's Officially Married

One of my (Shilo's) best girlfriends, Emily Hollon (now Mrs. Otten) got married on January 2nd! Micah and I flew out to Colorado Springs, CO on the 1st and stayed for two nights. It was a beautiful wedding and I was so honored to be a part of it. Two cool praises, Micah traveled really well AND I was able to fit in my bridesmaid dress...barely. Gotta love that post-pregnancy weight :).

CONGRATULATIONS Aaron & Emily Otten, we love you!!!

Feelin' Nosey

We had a MEMORABLE MICAH MOMENT over Christmas where he tries to bite our nose and then cracks up afterwards. It's quite amusing! Here's some shots of him with Dad:

Christmas

Hope everyone had a great Christmas & New Year's! It's been busy in the Thompson household so haven't been able to keep up on the blog-ster lately. First things first, Glen's parents, Bill & Barbara (B&B) came out to visit us during Christmas week. The highlights you ask? Well... 1. Celebrating Barbara's birthday on Christmas Eve 2. Micah's 1st Christmas 3. Lots and lots of snow 4. Spending time together as a family. Here are a few pics of all the festivities: Happy Birthday Barbara!Did we mention snow? For days and days... Had to give them a TASTE of Seattle's coffee!"I think I like Christmas Grammy...thanks for my new toy!"
"Are you serious guys?"

"Yep, I love being held by Grandma"

"Oh I want I want I want Popie's mustache and glasses..."

"Aren't I strikingly handsome?" :)

Christmas Lights

The other night, we headed to Garden D' Lights in Bellevue and had a fun time walking around while drinking hot chocolate and apple cider (we are such warm WINTER-ITE drinkers now!). Of course Micah enjoyed it all too...sleeping. We've been trying to view as much Christmas lights as we can around here. Love love Christmas!

Snow in Seattle!

It's been snowing here the last week and as I write, it is actually snowing really hard right now outside our front window. Looks SOOO beautimous and yet I know when we go out to drive in it soon we may not be saying that. Oh well, we are enjoying this new part of the Northwest :).

Right before heading into church last Sunday-Micah's 1st snow!

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree

We got a Christmas tree! I know what your thinkin'...it's just a Christmas tree you guys... HOWEVER this our first official Thompson Christmas Tree. We had a Charlie Brown type of tree one year during seminary, so this tree was pretty exciting for us. We ended up buying it from a church that was raising monies for youth missions so thought that was pretty cool too. Plus it's Micah Man's 1st Christmas!!! Here are the pics from the day:

The Travelin' Thompsons'

Got back last night from a week in Arizona and had a great time. The best part for both of us for sure was watching the grandparents (& other family members) with The Micah Man. It was too fun! Enjoy the pics, hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving~

Solid Foods

Micah had his very first bite of rice cereal on November 20th, it was classic. I'll let the photo explain it all :).

Doctor Visit

Our Micah Man had his 4 month checkup on November 15th and all went well except that he was a little underweight so we've been trying to moniter him more to make sure he's eating enough. He also had two shots...man those are killer for mom!

Rooooollin' On Over

Daisy and I witnessed the Micah Man officially roll over from his back to his stomach this morning. Woohoo! This is an exciting event in the Thompson house, since we have only seen him roll from his stomach to his back. Nothin' like a little spit up at the end :).
