Yeah, I know it’s January 18th. We’ve been busy and i’ve been a bad blogger. Better late than never. We had a wonderful Christmas holiday this year. It started in Kentucky where we traveled for a funeral for Aaron’s great uncle Don Henrickson. Here is Elijah with Grandma Janet.

There was another baby in the family who was only 4 days older than Elijah. They kept trying to take each others pacifiers, it was adorable.
