Well Ari and I made it successfully to Missouri Sunday, 2 1/2 hour flight (we arrived early!?!) which was fantastic, little Ariella slept the whole way in her sling only waking every now and then to say hello. It was funny to see peoples reaction to her in the sling, when we were getting on the plane the flight attendant checked our ticket and said "This says Lap Child.. where's the... oh!! I see.." and when I got off the plane and was walking to the baggage area a tall gentleman walked past and said.. "Oh well shes got a baby on her front" (imagine that in a southernish drawl....) quite funny.

Sunday night Sherri, Ari and I went to the Bolivar Baptist Church Christmas Music night, it was so nice to hear the music, choir, and then a nice candlelight service. They had a little baby during the nativity scene (Joseph sang to Baby Jesus), and for the rest of the night people thought Ari was Baby Jesus (Papa Bing calls her that as well). After the service we had fellowship (code word for food :) some yummy cookies) so Sherri got a chance to show that baby off, she was so proud of her first grandchild and was just beaming, it was fun just to stand back and watch her enjoy herself.

Monday we went and visited Gramma Betty and visited, it was fun to hear baby stories from her children :) Grandparents are such a rich hertiage. Monday evening I started feeling pretty sick and ended up in the ER, I think it was a reaction either to the medicene I was was taking or the infection was getting worse, either way NOT a fun night. Im on new medicene now and slowly feeling better, Ive been pretty weak and havent been able to do, or eat much yet, but are on the way to recovery. The bad news is the antibiotics arent compatible with babies so Ari's on the bottle for awhile :(.

Matt and Wendy (Bretts brother and sister)arrived today and she immediately smiled at Matt- I think she may be reminded of her Daddy. Speaking of her Daddy, Brett is still in California, we miss him pretty badly but hes getting some good work done and giving our kitties lots of loving (they've been deprived since Ari showed up).

Well thats the update for the moment!! We're working to get our birth annoucement/Christmas letter out so look for that! Send addresses...

Love you all
Michelle and baby Ari (Grammy Bayer, Papa Bing, Auntie Wendy and Uncle Matt)
