Teething!!!!

We finally got family pictures taken! Silas was so good it was amazing. This is the first picture of the entire family that wasn't taken by self-timer. I think they turned out great. I went a little crazy bossing people around. I was compared to Clair from Modern Family but I love her so I'm okay with it.

What a crazy couple of weeks we've had! A ton to blog about! I'll do my best to keep it short but I'm really not good at that. :) Christmas was very fun. Crazy but fun. Right after Christmas we packed up and moved back to Washington. My parents were wonderful and brought out a truck load of all our stuff so we have all our stuff out here. They were able to be here for Eric's birthday on the 2nd but then had to get back for work on Monday. Which was probably a good thing because as soon as they left the flu started making its way through the house. It started with Silas on Sunday afternoon he started throwing up. That continued all of Monday then that night I was up all night throwing up. I'm pretty sure I broke my record of 8 times that I set when I was prego but i was so tired and sick I lost count. Then Tuesday morning Eric started. And then Mark started Tuesday night. It was BAD! But we all got over it and everyone's fine. We had a few days of everyone feeling good and Silas got back to his normal sleeping schedule. And then the teething started! Two nights ago Silas refused to stay asleep and Eric needed to sleep because he was going to be working for the moving company the next morning so Silas and I spent the night on the couch. It was not fun. The poor kid would sleep for about an hour then wake up crying. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Then last night he was so fussy and wouldn't go to bed so I gave him a couple of teething tablets too see if that would help anything and it allowed him to sleep for a few hours. So I'm not positive but all signs point to teething. poor kid. :(

But with all that going on some positive things are I've discovered Ikea! I've gone twice since we've been out here. It's AWESOME! Target and Costco now have some major competition for favorite store. Also Silas discovered that he can roll around. I was changing his diaper last night and he rolled across the room and thought it was so funny. It was adorable.

We're still waiting on hearing about Eric's job. It's looking really really good. So everyone be praying that things work out!
