Becky did a better job taking pictures – so here are some of hers that we stole. 🙂

Moving Day 1 & Big IKEA trip (1?)
Mama Jan came out this week to see Jeannette’s pregnant belly and to help with the move. She boxed up the apartment while we worked this week – such an indispensable help! Today we moved all the boxes from the apartment to the nursery in the new place. We still have a bit to do: like move furniture and the kitchen stuff. But we completely filled a cargo-sized ZipVan (which was awesome, by the way). We had pretty good parking karma for the move too, so that was nice. After unloading the van, we went to IKEA to buy some furniture. We were lucky they were sold out of one of the box springs we need – there is no way it would’ve fit in the van! We’ll head to IKEA again soon, I’m sure, but hopefully it won’t be as big a haul next time. We unloaded the IKEA stuff at the condo, and Gary & Daniel were out and about and kind enough to stop by help us get the couch up the stairs. All in all, a super productive day! Josh was a super man, we couldn’t have done it without Mama Jan’s help, and G&D coming through in the clutch helped make the day a success!

Christmas
As we have already celebrated Christmas with our Fiala family in Cincinnati during Oktoberfest and also already celebrated Christmas with our Allen family in Seattle over Thanksgiving – we had a little Boston Christmas together here in cold Boston. We enjoyed our day together very much, making overnight coffee cake in the morning before going to church, making a stuffed pork loin for dinner, and baking a few pumpkin pies. It was a lovely day.

Thanksgiving in Seattle
We had a great trip to Seattle, visiting family and friends and seeing some old tourist sites. The mountain even came out for Josh!
Dad Allen’s site should have even more pictures up from this visit.
