Routine? Hardly.

Update:

December came and went.. as did January too. Another year older.

January has really been the most hectic month of our lives so far out here in California. For starters, we found ourselves recovering from the holidays. It was so great having all of our family come out to visit and meet Jory. It's quite a blur, really. Looking back now, the past three months just seem to meld together into one long month.

After all of our friends and family had bid us farewell a while, we tried to slip back into a slower pace and set a pace for Jory to get used to. Baby's need a routine for sure. So, our routine begins, and January finds us on the receiving end of some distressing news concerning the Navy and our situation out here. Time will tell how that all plays out. There was some other situational events which were somewhat stressful as well, but we took them in stride too.

After my Birthday, we had to fly back East to be with my family when my Grandfather passed away. Many of the pictures below are snapshots of our moment back home during this time. It was hard, to say the least, but being around our family made it easier for everyone.

Some of the other pictures below are from various moments around Christmas or New Years.

It's February now... my computer is rebuilt [that was an adventure in itself] and we're back online once more. The weather is warming up and Jory is getting more active. We're sure to be taking more trips outdoors and down to the beach here-and-there.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we do.
