Iona Dawn

Iona Dawn was born on Sunday Jan. 23rd at 2:46 AM. She weighed 7 lbs and was 19 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful! She is very wrapped up in all these pictures so all you can see is a little peeking face, but she has lots of dark hair.

She has two VERY proud big cousins! Elliot and Whitney have already fallen in love with Iona.

Christmas Festivities!

For some reason this post is all screwed up. I have tried hard to fix it and have not had any success.

We had a wonderful Christmas with our families. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Avon with my family. Gavin came to Avon in the afternoon on Christmas Day. While in Avon the kids got to make ice cream cone Christmas trees with Grandma and Elliot went skating for the first time. He did pretty well and loved it. He is not afraid to try anything and is always so determined! On the 28th we went to Williston and spent several days there. We stayed in Minot one night at a hotel with a water park. Of course the kids had a blast. They also got to go sledding with Grandpa Sala. The kids had lots of fun clelbrating Christmas with their grandparents!
