She Could Go All The Way!!!

Today Teagan rolled over for the first time. It was adorable. Her little legs were going so fast and she just kinda tipped over. She startled herself pretty well, and was surprised about suddenly being able to see the ceiling rather than the floor. So Cute.

Anyways, more news; Teagan, Mom and I are going to visit Joshua up in Fairbanks this weekend. Then we (Teagan, Mom and I) are going down to Washington to see our peeps (Family). Pretty excited. Not about the -30 degree weather, but seeing Joshua and then family. It will be Teagan's first time meeting my Mom's family, quite neat.

We Like To Think We're Foodies

On New Years Eve 2010 Joshua and I went to the coolest little gastro pub, Meddlesome Moth, in Dallas. We must have looked at a hundred set menus before we decided on this one. It was one of the best meals we have experienced. On top of that they had probably about 40 beers on tap, which made the hubby happy.
Joshua's Beer Heaven
They even had one I liked, pear cider, okay well so it's not really a beer, but still....
Me With My Yummy Pear Cider
We had a four course meal, Joshua and I ordered different choices so we could try everything.

Appetizers

Tuna

Veal and Quail Eggs





















Salad
Butter Lettuce and Radish
Entrees
Steak and Gnocchi With Pomegranate
Lamb with Pistachios 
We also had a dessert course, but forgot to take a picture. Have to say this was amazing food, my favorite was the tuna appetizer; the steak was also fabulous. The service was also wonderful. A great funky place to bring in the new year.

Olympics, Here We Come!

Teagan held her first toy the other day, and I am convinced she is destined for greatness :-) At two months old, she's also holding her head up like a pro!

Well The Weather Outside Is.... Weather

Everyday on the news there have been reports of snow dumping all up and down the East Coast.... and I am jealous. I am shocked with myself, usually I can't wait for the snow to go away. This year I want MORE. I want it to look like a winter wonderland outside my window, but right now it just looks frozen and kind of gray. Come on Alaska snow for me :)

I'll Be Home For Christmas

So my holiday post is very delayed, BUT thats because I am now just getting back in the swing of things back home.

This Holiday Season has been a busy one! So many experiences and Teagan met so many new people.

We started this holiday season by saying goodbye to Joshua, well for a few weeks at a time at least. He is now living up in Fairbanks (yup it happend). He landed a new job that is pretty cool actually, teaching cold weather survival and such. From what I understand his daily activities include skiing and teaching classes.

A week after Joshua's move we headed down to El Paso to spend Christmas with the Van Nosdales (my dads side of the family). Teagan went on her first plane ride, and did so well. Everyone commented on what a great traveler she was.

Joshua Zonked Out On The Flight

Tea Zonked Out As Well (Flying Made Her Sleepy)
The El Paso leg of the trip was great! We were able to see most all of my dads side of the family. They all LOVED Teagan, she was a hit wherever we went.

Just Some Of The Girls
The next leg of our trip was Dallas, where Teagan got to meet her other Grandma! Joshua and I were able to have quite a bit of alone time there because Denisa wanted Tea all to herself. Overall our vacation was great, and traveling with Teagan went better than I could have ever hoped for.

Now we are back home (Teagan and I are at Dad's in Anchorage, and Joshua is up in Fairbanks) and I am watching my little girl grow more and more everyday.
