We've been busy this last month here in Washington. Wood's work is in full swing and he's actually been on his sub (woo-hoo!). We helped make the decorations for our ward Christmas party a Who-ville theme complete with a 13 foot cardboard mountain for the Grinch. The decorations looked awesome - I wish I'd taken pictures. We're still rooting through boxes and trying to find/make a place for everything. I'm a good pile mover - I move piles from one room to the other. So I really need a place for everything to reduce my piles. We are official Costco members and have purchased gross quantities of diapers, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, and other "bulk" items. We're trying to get to know people from our ward and the boat. We've been able to visit some family and hope to visit more. We've had sunshine, snow, and rain. Since they don't believe in snowplows around here, any snow, especially the wet, sticky stuff is pretty debilitating. Church ended early 2 Sundays ago for 3-6 inches of snow. We barely made it home (seriously). The next day Wood came home early because of severe flooding in the area. Fortunately we were fine, though many of his co-workers were affected. I guess they usually have a storm like that this time of the year, so hopefully it's out of the way and we won't have another one like that for a year!
MaryP has been busy too. She'll hit her 5 month mark on Tuesday. It seems like she's learning something new all of the time. Like grabbing my dishes at the table. Those little hands can be pretty quick! She's as cute as ever and a delight to both of us. Here are just a few pictures of what she's been up to.

She's so super cute! I just wish I could give her a squeeze!
Glad you guys are settling in and staying dry. Mary P is so cute and petite, esp. when Aaron is holding her. Also thanks for taking the picture of her finding her feet on the blanket I made her. It made my day to see her using it!!
MaryP is so adorable! Is she always so smilely?
Wait, wait, wait. This Navy stuff was going to get Wood on a boat??
Yes, yes, strange I know, but he does actually have to be on a boat.
And Ree- no, she's not always so smiley. She's generally a pretty happy baby but is often looking around taking things in. She does love to smile though, at interesting things and people, especially when you say "hello" to her. When we want her to smile for a picture we say 'hello' a lot - otherwise she's too focused on checking our the camera to smile.
