End of Year Update

It has been a great and eventful year and we have much to be thankful for. Chris is done with the semester (yay!) and really excited to have a few weeks off. He has been working real hard in the lab and with his classes. Getting a PhD is a long road but will be worth-it in the end.



I'm still teaching piano lessons and loving it! I have 5 little students ranging from ages 3 to 10. It has been so much fun--thanks again to my grandparents for the beautiful piano they bought me this summer! I applied to UC Davis to finish my BS for next fall...I hope I get in! For those bugging me about pics of the apartment, I'm still not quite done with the decorating. It's so much fun and BAiley's room is about done and same with the living/dining room. I'll post pics when it's all finished--it has been so much fun but taking awhile cause of our tight student budget. We have to do it slowly and little at a time!


Bailey is doing well and loving to "cruise" around the house pushing her little car and trying to walk. She uses every piece of furniture possible to get herself around on her own two feet. I have a feeling she'll be walking really soon. She LOVES to eat and is NOT a picky eater...she'll eat anything we give her--she only nurses before her two naps and bedtime now. She has just started to "dance" and it's really cute! Go to the end of the second video and she really gets goin!


(Go to the end of this one and she really gets goin!)


Sad news--Max (our 1993 Nissan Maxima) has died and we will miss him very much. But we bought a car a few weeks ago and it has been so nice to actually have heat that works and a stereo and all the luxuries of a newer car! It's a 2005 Honda Accord--but we love you MAX, you have served us well :)

We took family pictures during Thanksgiving (finally!) sorry we couldn't post them...the slide show thing wouldn't let them fit right and they look blurry on it:) If you'd like to see them just go to www.handsomeprints.net and click on "gallery" and then "the cunninghams" :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!!! Love, The Cunninghams

Thanksgiving in Oregon

We got to go home to Medford for Thanksgiving for the first time since we've been married! (It was always too long drive from rexburg--especially in the snowy weather). So it was nice to have a big thanksgiving feast with all the family there.


We also got to go to the Festival of Lights in Ashland. There was a big parade and then they lit up the whole downtown with Christmas lights and had santa there and we bought candied apples and hot chocolate. Here is Bailey and Grandpa Cunningham all bundled up together:)
