Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

We've been very busy lately (hence, the lack of updates!). First, we took our first "long" trip as a family to Milford to spend Christmas with the Van Otterloo side of the family. We stayed two nights (too short, for sure!) but had a great time! We helped "Aunt" Jae decorate cookies...
attended church, opened presents (check out Miles' HUGE present from Aunt Ali and Jae)...
and just hung out. While in Milford, Miles had a special visit from his Great-Grandparents George and Shirley. Here is Miles with his GG George.
Once back in the Cities, Uncle Jason and Aunt Jill visited for a few days so we could have our Blom family Christmas. Miles received his first stuffed pig (commemorating his mom's upbringing) from Jason and Jill.
Since then, we've been hanging out, just the 3 of us (Grandma and Grandpa are at a family reunion), and having fun.

Miles turned one month old this past Saturday and is getting so BIG! According to our bathroom scale, he is about 12 1/2 pounds! Here's just a few more current picures... enjoy!
