Family. Gotta love it!

Well it has been another 3 months since I wrote a new post and we have done quite a bit of exciting things now that we are closer to family!

November:

November consisted of unpacking (still) and getting settled in to our new home and surroundings. We have begun to love Upstate New York. It is nothing like I thought it would be. I always thought New York=City. Where we are, it is about 15 minutes from downtown Albany, but you would NEVER know it. We are on a dead-end road which ends with a huge cow farm :) We have taken many long rides through the hill country and it is just so beautiful. I do find myself looking back on Oklahoma and yes, I do miss it, but this is home now and I think we will get along just fine. We decided to do Thanksgiving at our house this year, just the two of us. We thought it may be lonely, but it wasn't and we had some great food and made some wonderful memories. Here are some pictures to give you an idea of how it went:

He liked it, don't let him kid you!

All of the wonderful food the Lord blessed us with!

That pretty much sums it up ;)

Also, during November, we went to my sister-in-law's clarinet recital :) Here are some pictures from that:

December:

December was a very exciting month for spending time with family. Dan and I decided to do Christmas at our house as well this year, just the two of us, and to see everyone before hand. Well we did see everyone before hand, but my mother, her fiance' and my brother, Luke all came to NY to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with us! It was so much fun, but we let time slip away and got NO PICTURES! Well it was amazing having them here and we had a great Christmas. Here are some pictures of the get together we had before Christmas with the Maskell's :)

January:

January has just begun, but we did have a particularly exciting thing happen this month so far. Dan and I found out the day before New Year's Eve that we are expecting the first Baby Michaud! I am now about 6 weeks pregnant and we could not be more excited! We went around to ALL of our family New Year's weekend and told the good news. We are so thankful for God's timing! We are SO ready to be parents and just can't wait to hold our little baby in 8 months! I will be making a new blog all about the baby soon :) Stay tuned!! 

The Little Michaud Family is about to get bigger!
