Miles and Miles of fun...
After getting lots of rest time in at Allison's parents house we are in our new place in Salt Lake and Drew is all settled into his new job. He is doing fabulously already. We get to travel to Boise for his work, which is AWESOME!!! Our first wedding anniversary was Saturday, July 25th and we had a wonderful time reflecting on the last year. We had a really nice dinner at Barbacoa and watched some comedians perform. It has been a year packed full of challenges as well as happiness and we hope to have many more.
Our little swimmer--he was loving playing with aunt Erin and cousin Zeke

He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches long at birth
We arrived at the hospital around 11:30 that night and from there everything happened very quickly! The nurse was suprised at how quickly things progressed and our doc barely made it in time. He was healthy and very alert and wanted to stay awake through the night. Needless to say mom and dad got zero sleep and are still adjusting.

We have finally put up most of the decorations in Miles' nursery. I (Allison) have been fanatically planning since day one: exactly what I wanted it to look like, creating the little pieces to go up on the walls, and doing everything with a fairly non-existent budget. Drew's co-workers had to laugh at how early I made him take me to get all the essentials to make sure we were ready "just in case." Because of this, I tried to be patient with the hanging of non-essential decorations.
Friday afternoon we headed to the nursery to decide where everything would go on the wall. As I pointed out where things would go Drew immediately looked concerned. "Nothing can go above the crib," he said frantically. As two of the four walls are above the crib I was immediately upset. Drew researched the topic and found that many people recommend putting nothing above the crib in case of an earthquake. Utah is prone to earthquakes and although they don't happen often it isn't out of the question that we experience a sizeable one. The solution ended up being moving all furniture and relocating the wall hangings. We have some awesome soft fabric wall hangings that Drew's mom found, which will go up a little later this week.
The most interesting part of this whole experience was what Drew and I were able to learn about eachother as parents before Miles even arrives. Drew is already such a caring, protective father. He thinks so much about the things that he wants for Miles and like he proved when we designed the nursery he was so careful about his son's safety.
Check out the decorating we having done so far:
