We have been very busy around here! And, so, of course....my blogging has slipped. We're working on our new routine...and doing pretty well, I must say. Nate and I both started back on Jan. 4 (which also happens to be my birthday!). Nate to school and I to my final practicum. I am working 40 hrs/5 days per week at a local children's homeless shelter and advocacy center which also offers counseling services. It is an amazing agency, and I am getting wonderful experience as I find my niche there. However, it means that Faith is at Diana's more than she ever has been (by alot). Before this semester we were blessed to have her at Diana's only about 2 days per week, then home for breaks, summer, etc. But, she is doing so great. We have our mornings together, then she plays hard at Diana's, and we have our evenings. We cherish the time we all have together.
In the midst of this, Aunt Ally came to visit. It was a breath of fresh air for us to have family here, and of course Faith loved it :) We didn't take enough pictures, but we got some of Faith opening (more) Christmas gifts from Gigi, Pawpaw and Ally. She had a blast pulling presents out of the big bag. Here are some present-opening pics.
Faith has also been into dress up lately. She rumages through her dress up clothes (or Mommy's clothes) and parades around for awhile, then inevitably changes hats, etc. It's pretty hilarious for us to watch.
While Ally was here, Nate and I got to go out on a date while she stayed with Faith. We had a BLAST seeing Avatar. Let me tell you...I'm not exactly a huge sci-fi fan (just ask Nate, who definitely is :) ), but this movie was amazing! Honestly one of the best movies I have seen, especially in the theater as it's 3D. We would absolutely recommend it! Before the date...
After the date...
Here's a pic that Aunt Ally snapped while she and Faith were having dinner one night. Faith thought Ally was pretty funny!
This is the DELICIOUS and HUGE cake that Nate brought home for my birthday. So yummy! Though you may wonder how we could possibly eat all of it...somehow we managed to do it within the week (yikes!).

We have other exciting news....but I'm trying to upload a video for that one :) Most of you probably know...but we'll wait and give it a special post when we can finally get a video loaded! Until then.... :)
