We're Going to See Jackson!

Big news!!!  Miles is adorable...p < .05

Seriously though, this past Friday Andrew found out that he matched at Jackson MS for his internship, which starts July 1st. Miles and I were excited to hear that Daddy matched at one of his top sites, and now we have plenty to do before we leave Columbia MO. 

I will probably still keep my position at Mizzou and commute back every once in a while to ensure that the grant project is still moving along. It is a little intimidating to run a grant project from another state, but luckily, I have an amazing project coordinator and most of the data collection efforts will be complete by the end of the summer.

To celebrate, we went to Kansas City yesterday and had a playdate with our good friends the Wardlaws.

 They have a sweet little two year old boy named (not joking), Jackson!

The boys got along very well and we cheered on the Tigers in the Border Showdown. It was a blast!

12 Days of My First Christmas

Although it was a long, long time ago now (we have been very busy!), we had our first Christmas before we left Missouri. Really it was us giving Miles his present from us. He enjoyed it for a bit. The "ele-fun-t" blows these balls out of its trunk. Right now, Miles enjoys blowing the air in his face.

 

Miles got to meet folks on the Talley side of the family. Here he is with his Grandfather  Talley.

He also met his Great Aunt and Uncle Talley.

He also met his Granny Talley.

Miles also met folks on the Cox side of the family. He was especially excited to meet his Grandma and Grandpa Cox!

He also met his Aunt Lori.

Of course, he spent some quality time with Nana!!!

He also had fun with the Littlefield side of the family!

Here is his favorite Christmas video...
