(I just threw this picture in because one night Dallin and his girlfriend Maria came over to play games. She brought a crazy game and I ended up wearing a hat all night.)
Emerson got in some quality time with the Uncles. It was great to See all my brothers. It had been 2 years since the last time I saw Dallin and a whole year since last seeing Bryan in New York. Dan and I got to catch up during the summer when he flew in to SF for a few hours this summer and Kev and Shayna and I chatted at Dave's wedding, it really was nice to see everyone and have them meet Emerson.
Dallin is now home from his mission and a new student at BYU. It is crazy when the youngest in the family doesn't seem so young anymore.
Emerson met his Great Grandpa David Evans. That was really fun for Grandpa Evans
I also got to be present at Violets baby blessing. Violet is such a cute baby and received such a special blessing.
It also worked out that my friends could come over for lunch and see each other even during their busy holiday schedule. It was so much fun to be together again. Whitney, Cindy, Jan, Me and Annika. They brought their kids over and we all had a great time. On new years day I even got to visit Cindy at her house and get some great advice on raising a boy, as she's got three young strapping boys of her own. She also endowed Emerson with some great clothes. Emerson is growing so big so fast it is just amazing to watch him change daily.
So the trip to Utah went by all too quickly, but it was so fun to see friends and family again and be able to stay longer than a weekend. Since the trip to Utah at the beginning of January we've made some serious progress on the house. The second story walls are up and during the next 2 weeks we hope to build the roof. We have had no rain and 60 - 70 degree weather. June in January, it has been great for building!! Progress seems to always have come with obstacles or set backs. This Saturday for the house project is came in the form of a nail gun miss firing. One of the guys we have working on our house miss-fired the nail gun into his hand. It was a day at the ER instead of a day of work at the house. In the end the damage was minimal, but costly. Emerson came down with his first cold as well. It has been a new experience for me to care for a baby with a cold. He coughs, and has a runny nose. The Dr. say he is doing just fine for being sick, but often when I burp him, he doesn't just spit up an air bubble, but the whole meal comes right back up. I feel so bad for the little guy. If you've got any advice, I'm all ears.

Poor Emerson, colds are the pits! We love our cool mist humidifier during the cold season.
The nail picture is disgusting! ewe it looks so painful.
You just had to add that last picture....wow. Talk about some good quality time with your fam and friends. Emmerson is cute as can be and still looks pretty little to me. Loved all the pics and the up date on the house....except that last picture...gross.
Glad you had fun on your visit! It was good to see you and meet Emerson! Your house is looking awesome! Sorry about Emerson's cold. A sick baby is THE WORST!
I agree with the last two comments...the nail picture is DISGUSTING!!!
Lots of saline solution and bulb syringe. Jeremiah got RSV last year and ended up in the hospital but basically all they do even in the hospital is a lot of saline and sucking out the yucky stuff.
Make sure Emerson gets lots of rest and liquids. There isn't much you can do with a sick baby. Koen just woke up today with a cold too. NO FUN!!! Try to keep his schedule as tight as you can and give lots and lots of loves!!! It was so good to see you...I can't wait to hang with you again soon!

What an update. I am so sad that I missed another friend get together. I hope Emerson gets better soon.
Sorry I missed you when you were here, it would have been fun to meet Emerson. Hope he's feeling better!
