Merry Christmas from The Obie's!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones.  We have had such a great time here in St. Louis with all our loved ones and feel very fortunate to be able to be "home" for the holidays.

(Jaxon hates socks and shoes.  The moment you put them on him, he has them off within 5 seconds.  It's a battle we only fight when we're leaving the house and it's cold outside.)

I know Christmas isn't about gifts, but I can tell you that this little perfectly adorable guy here is the greatest gift I could have ever received this year.  He fills our lives with more love and laugher than we ever thought possible.

And of course I'm pretty lucky to have this handsome guy, my better half, by my side through this crazy life.  Having him safely at home is one of the best Christmas gifts Jaxon and I could have asked for.  Next year we won't be as fortunate since he will be deployed so we've soaked up every bit of this Christmas together.

That's all I have for now.  I just wanted to stop by really quickly to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, share our Christmas card (now that most should have received it), and share a few photos of my adorable family.

I will continue to be absent around these parts for a little bit longer as we travel back to Florida, celebrate our last little bit of Christmas, and get ourselves back into our normal routine.

I hope you all have a safe New Years Eve and a very joyous start to 2016!!

(I'm Still Here, I Promise)

Hello friends and family,

Clearly this blog has not been updated in while. The entire month of November I was flying solo here in Jacksonville, because Nick was attached to a Navy destroyer out in the ocean, flying around in his helo. Things were crazy to say the least. I didn't really have any down time, because I refuse to be on the computer while my son is awake. And when he wasn't, well I was catching up on sleep, showering, catching up with family and friends, or enjoying a glass of wine amidst the quiet and stillness. Blogging just wasn't a priority and I'm sorry.

I have so much to catch you all up on!
Such as....
Jaxon 6 AND 7 month update
Jaxon's first flight
Thanksgiving Trip home In STL
My birthday
Leah's Baby Shower
St. Nick Day
Decorating the tree and all other Christmas related events!!
And so much more!!!

I promise they will slowly but surely be making their way to this blog so be sure to check back! You can also sign up on the right hand side of the blog to receive an email whenever there is a new post.

But for now, I'll leave you with a picture of this handsome young fella!

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, a safe and Happy New Year, and a joyous & healthy 2016!!!
