Back to school and back to routine

Although it seemed to go by way too quickly, Nate's break from school was great for all of us. We were able to get out and explore the area more, sleep in, work out, and just hang without him having to worry about homework or stress about school - it was fabulous :)
We had a nice Thanksgiving with friends in the ward and Abby was great and got little samples of almost everything. During this time we had some really rough nights though, with her top 2 teeth breaking through. She had a hard time sleeping and during those late nights also learned that she could roll all around the crib, which was funny/sad to watch since she was sooo tired she'd cry as she'd roll around, but was just too busy rolling to stop and fall asleep. This is a pic of her during nap time, mid-roll. It's always fun to catch her 'firsts' on camera, so below are a few pics of those moments.
Now we are getting back into the swing of things, with Nate studying 20/7, and about to head south for another training seminar, this time on drug counseling. Abby and I are back to spending our time playing, learning, cleaning, cooking and running errands. We are still on the countdown to head back to Utah soon for Christmas :)

That same night she knocked out and Nate loved every minute of the snuggling!
