A Late Post
Christmas: Kyle, Jane and I spent our Christmas morning together. Jane was so very excited to get her presents Chirstmas morning. She couldn't stop smiling.
Church was only an hr, and it was consisted mainly of music. Kyle, Jane and I really enjoyed that. Jane: because she loved music. Kyle and I: because it was probably the only Sacrament meeting since Jane started walking, that we didn't have to chase Jane around.
When we got home from Church we quickly open the rest of our presents, and then took Jane to her grandparents, where she received even more presents.
New Year: We spent new year with the Francis', they are from our ward. We stayed up past mid night playing game. I was surprised that I could since I generally start dozing off around 9 or 10 at night.
Kyle's brother, Austin left for his mission on 19th of Jan. Kyle's sister, Heather, and her husband, Clint flew in from Iowa for Austin's farewell talk. They stayed for about a week, so we were at Kyle's parents for most of that time. It was great to see them again.
We went to Kyle's parents' on Sunday to celebrate Julie's 50th birthday. In 20 years time, I'll be 50. Time is a weird thing. I feel that it can never be slow enough, unless it can stay still. Well, when we are immortal, we don't have to worry about such things as aging.
Kyle had his interview with the University of Utah last week for a spot in their physical therapy program. We are hoping that he will get in so we don't have to move, and we don't have to repaint the walls of our apartment back to their original off-white color.
Well, that should bring you back up to date with our exciting lives. Until next time. whenever that may be! Before I sign-off, here are some cute photos of Jane playing with her bath towel. Kyle called her Pope Duckworth* II when she wears her duck towel around the house. (*If you have been following our blog, you would know what Kyle was referencing, if not, it will give you an excuse to talk to us :))

Our Story
Once upon an American continent, there was a handsome young man
and half way across planet earth, on the Land-Down-Under, there was a lil young lady
They met in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and fell in love.
There was a lot of travelings across all sort of terrains and climates.
Consequently, since there was a big puddle of water between them, there was a lot of rowing involves until they decided: "Let's get married!"
And they live happily ever after
2 years later, they decided: "Let have no more sleep, but get to be even happier!" And so, their daughter Jane granted them their wish:

Happy Anniversary, Sweetie! I love you!

Jane's Birthday
Jane's birthday was the day after Thanksgiving this year. She was born on Thanksgiving Day last year so it is fitting that she celebrated her first birthday on Thanksgiving instead of on her actual birthday.
Naturally, we enjoyed a feast at Kyle's parents'. We had a lot relatives there this year. Kyle's grandparents, uncle and 3 of his aunts and their families were there. Almost 30 people in total with a majority consisting of kids.
I made cupcakes for Jane's birthday, and some of the younger people (I can't say smaller cos they were as big as me) helped me decorate.
The one with the candle on it was Jane. She picked it out herself by sticking her finger into it. So, the candle went into the hole she made on the cake. She was just helping out! :)
And here is the birthday girl. Isn't she just adorable?
She wanted her cake. This is the 'Hey, that one is mine!' look.
Jane was actually very modest in eating her first birthday cake. She picked at and ate the icing one bit at a time. No face first into the cake, very poise and proper. I think she was trying to keep clean for the camera.
Well, at first anyway.
Presents opening time. Whoohoo!!!
Jane received this giraffe-bike fr0m my favorite cousin, Khanh, for her birthday. She liked to climb on and off her bike best. She doesn't know how to go forward on her bike yet, but she can go backward.
She also received books, clothes, a pair of shoes and a singing cookie jar which she likes to dance to, and which was a present from her grandparents. One of the book she received was 'A Charlie Brown's Christmas'. Kyle got this book for Jane because 'A Charlie Brown's Christmas' is his favorite Christmas movie. We watch it every year during Christmas season.
Thank you everyone for making Jane's first birthday such a special day!

1 Year Old
Jane celebrated her first birthday this past Friday. We have plenty of good pictures but we forgot our camera at Kyle's parents' while we were there for Thanksgiving, so the pictures will have to wait. In the meantime, enjoy this video we took with our iPad of Jane opening and playing with one of her presents.
