but just not 100% with it. We survived the long plane trip (long b/c our kids barely slept) but we, thankfully, made it safely to Wien.
Here is a picture of us at the start of our trip....
and, at the tail end of the trip when the kids finally passed out (with literally 20 minutes to go). Isn't that always the case?
We're suffering from severe jet lag and when I say 'we' I mean the kids; but I am the one telling Luke at 2 AM in the morning that it isn't time to get up yet. I'll be back soon.....

Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year! We sure did. It was so relaxed and uber laid back. Which made it all the more wonderful! Here's a few photos of what our Christmas Day and Eve looked like....

The whole fam on Christmas morning...
Santa was very good to Tils:) We were blessed with an amazing Christmas! After the holiday shin digs were over we did manage to use the rest of our time off work to be VERY productive. SO many house projects to share in the next week!!

Thank you for all your support this year (all of you that take your time to read this blog). We leave for Vienna in less than two weeks and I promise to pick up the blogging once we get settled.
In the meantime, Merry Merry!!

Merry Mini Christmas
We had a very mini Christmas at our house this past weekend. My brother, Grayson, will be spending Christmas in Colorado this year...so we had an early Christmas celebration for him at our house.
It was lots of fun with lots of yummy food. See that cake...its Alton Brown's Red Velvet cake recipe...so delish. Those are Chocolate Crackle Cookies in the back. I found the recipe here. They were also yummy and made excellent Christmas gifts for the neighbors.
All of this baking was made possible by our new favorite toy....Merry Christmas to us:) Thanks Dad!!
Along with the food there was excellent wine...
And a goodie box of treats for our guest....
These two were the center of attention the entire night....
The lab is our nephew, River. Tillie is not so sure what to think of her much younger but way bigger cousin.
For the most part you could tell she wasn't happy with any other furry animals in our house. This is her hiding behind my Mom...avoiding River like the plague. At times though she did warm up...I hope everyone is enjoying all of the fun Christmas gatherings going on this time of year! We loved having our family over to celebrate!

Long Overdue Update
Sorry for the extended absence. In fact, I've been reading your blogs between feedings, changing and walking Elizabeth, but I haven't had much time to put my thoughts together and write. Speaking of Elizabeth, she is a little colicky, but we seemed to have turned a corner. Luke is also well but a bit a lot more needy than he was before her arrival.
While all of this has been going on we packed and moved out of our house, put our stuff in storage and moved into a temporary rental (more on that in a minute). We also closed on our house. So, we're officially homeless. Leaving our house was harder than I anticipated - our first home together and Luke's first home made it really hard to say good-bye.
Ok. So, now for our new, temporary home. We're staying in a 1400 square foot home on the CT shore. It's bright and sunny home and we're really happy here. And we're literally across the street from the Long Island Sound, with water views from our windows. If this was summer, we could never afford this!
It's a cute cedar clapboard house with a nice stone patio which we've used for lunches. The kitchen isn't huge, but it's open clean and bright.
And, it's open to the living room, below.
There are two first floor bedrooms (ours and Elizabeth's) and Luke gets the entire upstairs to himself! It's his own secret hideout and he loves it.
Other than the occasional jaunts to the beach and napping whenever I can, that 's what has been going on here.
I'm hoping as we settle into more of a routine that I can get back to posting more frequently.

Our hearts are filled with joy! God bless!
