Advent, 1/2 year, NJ and Mum mums!

Yep, Anneliese is 6 months old whether I'm ready or not! Yesterday she started "talking"...Andrew swore she said "Dadada" first...She had her first mum mum last night and we'll do the traditional mashed banana and then rice cereal sometime soon when things slow down. Why are things a bit crazy you ask? Well, we found out Wednesday that we're moving to the East Coast! Andrew's being moved to the Goethals Bridge project connecting Staten Island to Elizabeth, New Jersey. It's far from family and friends (I'm still shedding tears) but we're excited for this new adventure for our little family.
We fly out Monday, will spend next week getting to know the area, look at some places and then fly back Friday to spend two weeks in Oregon for Christmas. But even with all the chaos I'm trying to do something extra for Advent, I'm reading Joy to the World by Scott Hahn....would highly recommend it to anyone wanting do learn more about the nativity story!
Happy Advent!
 

I don't think I could have gotten a more genuine smile from Malachi, guess he's excited to visit Carlo's Bakery! I know I am
