A Funny Little Video of Mia

We never know what Mia is going to laugh at, but we thought this was so cute. We love how she tries to immitate Jeff too...bah-bah-bah...

Happy Holidays from the Whites!

The end of the year makes us reflect on our past and all of the love and support that has gotten us to where we are. We feel truly blessed to have you in our lives. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and that 2008 brings you love, peace and joy.

It is our hope that our lives will cross paths again, soon.
MUCH LOVE-


If I have your address...you are getting this card in the mail!

Christmas Tree

Our tree is up and we are actually ready for Chrismas this year!!! We are glad that we actually get to HAVE a Christmas, since last year we were moving the day of. We put only a few plastic ornaments on the bottom to see how Mia would do and tied the tree to the wall with fishing line (just in case). Mia actually does really well and just likes to look at it. She just likes to point to the ornaments and say "ball".



I tried to take some pictures of Mia in front of the Christmas tree. It was tough to get her to sit still, and only a few turned out OK. She is quite the little character these days. She is a true toddler (minus tantrums...so far).

No Soup For You

I have really surprised myself this year. Ever since Mia was born my "housewife/mommy" chip has kicked on and I love to cook and sew (I never knew I’d turn out so domestic, but it actually fits me). I've been making baby bibs and just made this little apron for Mia. She loves to be in the kitchen! She mostly makes messes and pulls everything out of the drawers, but we have a good time. Mia really likes the soup ladle and talks some serious gibberish- it reminds me of the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld. I made it since she is getting a little kitchen for Christmas, but I had to try it on her first.

After Thanksgiving

We have been so lucky to live in beautiful cities that have a lot to offer. Jeff and I try to take advantage of "the sites" when we can. Last weekend we spent Thanksgiving with my sister and her family, some friends and also the missionaries. It was a lot of fun and we ate some EXCELLENT FOOD! That weekend the sun broke through so we headed downtown to the public market and to do some Christmas shopping. There were great decorations an a lot of impressive street performers (there were even 2 teenage boys giving out "Free Hugs" in the middle of Pacific Place...I loved it when an older man gave them a hug). Mia had a great time people watching! She was a little leary of the Santa at Pike's Place, but didn't cry 'til after the picture! YAY!

TACO TOWN

This was on my friend, Heidi's page. It is funny!!

My Hair: 10 Inches Shorter

I have been wanting to donate my hair for some time now, but finally followed through! I happened to catch the Oprah that had Hillary Swank on the show, talking about it. I've kept my hair long for soooo many years and I figured it was time for change, too. I feel like I've lost 5 pounds from my head (too bad it's not elsewhere)! Anyway, it's for a great cause! If you want to do it too, just got to www.beautifullengths.com. Now I'm an official "MOM" (isn't that what every new mom does, chop off her hair?).
