12/29: Peeled crab

King crab legs are pointy and hurt. So thanks Alex for peeling the crab for me so my hands don't get mutilated. 

A year of growth

2015 brought about a lot of things for my family and myself. It's shown me the strength I have inside but also who I can lean on in times of need. I can only hope that I can carry that forward into 2016. 

12/30: An assigned MA

I can't stress enough how nice it is to have my own MA even if it's just for the day. 

Leaving early

We still hit some traffic but overall it was a smooth drive back from San Jose. I'm so glad I left with the early shift. 

Family

Being able to see my family even if it's only for 24 hours. 

12/24: Baby friends

Amelia (and parents) came over to pls today! Chloe had a lot of fun and they were so cute playing together. 

Jesus

He's the reason for the season. Don't get it twisted. 

Family parties

It's always a good time when the family gets together. 

Warm couches

Those couches are a nap trap I tell you! 

12/17: Extra help

So Alex & I could skip work in the afternoon!

12/18: Snuggling close

I'm not sure why but Chloe held my arm and leaned against me today while watching tv. It was so cute and loving. 

Reasoning

Most of the time if I explain things to Chloe then she understands.  It's amazing how effective simple reasoning can be.  I'm glad she usually accepts what I say.

12/13: Christmas trees

We got our Christmas tree today!

12/14: Walking partners

Today my coworker joined me on my lunchtime walk and I'm so glad she did! It went by so much faster than usual!

BFF visits

My one of BFFs is on winter break from school so she came to visit me & Chloe today! It was lots of fun catching up and playing with Chloe bears. 

Early patients

It's always nice when the patients show up early. 

12/8: Warm cars

I had to pick up Chloe from the crib so we could go to my mom's appointment and I was certain she would wake up and be cranky. I'm not sure but the car was super warm so we strapped her in and she kept on sleeping! I was so happy!

Friends like family

It's always a fun time when your family get to hang out with your friends family and everything just meshes. 

Dark rooms

When we travel as long as the room is dark and quiet and we stick to Chloe's bedtime routine then she'll go to bed without any fuss. 

12/3: Family

The past few days Chloe was lucky enough to have Alex's parents and/or my mom and Alex's sister watch her during the day. I know she's more comfortable around them so I'm so glad they were willing and able to watch her while I was at work. 

Beautiful sunrise

While driving back from LA this morning bc I dropped off Alex at work. 

Upbeat music

My music choice this afternoon was a faster paced pandora station so it motivated me to jog on part of my lunchtime walk! Thanks Nsync!
