What happened to January?

So I was looking at my siblings blogs and realized that I haven't posted in a while. January has been busy. Early in the month we celebrated Tammy's dad's retirement. He worked for the US Patent and Trademark Office for 35 1/2 years. There were a lot of nice things said about Dad at his retirement luncheon. The rest of the month since then has just been trying to get cleaned up and slightly organized from Christmas. The organization part hasn't really happened yet, but we're working on it.
This week we're preparing to head out to Florida. The three of us are traveling to Florida with Tammy's parents and Tammy's sister as well as Ken's parents. It will make for an interesting trip. But Isabella will get to go swimming for the first time! That will be fun. I'll try to make sure I get some pictures of that.
Isabella tried a little piece of Auntie Anne's pretzels last week. She wasn't sure about it at first, but she liked it after a while. But we did find out that she is just like her father and like licorice. Ken got a yard of licorice for Christmas and was swinging one of the ropes over Isabella. She got ahold of it and put it in her mouth and chowed down. She had red drool all over her face.

And the big news of the month....Tammy has lost all of her pregnancy weight and then some. She now wears a smaller size than when she and Ken got married. Hooray!!!

Here's a couple cute pics of her, especially of her with the licorice.
