Okay so I tried to get a family update done before the holidays. Now here it is the 3rd of January, I go back to work in 2 days and I am trying again to get it done. We hope you all had a fabulous and memorable Holiday, I know we did.
This year has been one of firsts for this Jones Family.
January: we started teaching a new group of 12 year old kids in Sunday School. Our first time out side of the mission to teach the Gospel Fundamentals. I started working at the Technical college two nights a week. Interpreting for a deaf student taking Speech and Government.
February: we took our first birthing class and got a tour of Mountain View Hospital.
March: we welcomed our beautiful little girl to our family. This is when all the real fun began. I took the rest of the school year off for maternity leave, all though I only took 2 weeks from the college. In doing this Wes was left home alone with a two week old baby for 3 hours at a time.
Piper Ashtyn Jones born March 24, 2008 at 2:29 pm. Weigh 6.2 pounds Height 19 inches
April: I asked Wes if he had gottne a bonus or pay raise after one particular pay period. Wes called from work the next day to tell me he had been promoted to Member Service Representative Manager. Piper was blessed on April 13, and enjoyed her first bath in the bath tub that same morning.
May: We took our first family photos. Piper started teething.
June: I went to work interpreting 2 afternoons a week at the local technical college taking Piper to a friends house for the 3 hour class.
July: Piper slept through the night for the first time.
(That was a fluke that only lasted a few nights.)
August: Piper finally took a bottle after 4 grulling weeks of trying everything we could think of. Then 2 daqys later she took a pacifier. We took Piper camping for the first time at a family reunion where she slept through the night! I went back to work full time at the school district and to school as a part time pre-grad student. Piper officailly started day care.
September: Piper started sitting up on her own.
October:We celebrated our first of many Halloweens as a family of three.
November:Piper cut her first tooth and the second followed a week later. She also started crawling on the 24th. We hired someone to come in and tape/texture the bathroom and one bedroom in the basement.
December: The third bathroom is finished and fully functioning. We are celebrating our First Christmas with Piper.

Sounds like a great year. You threw me with the whole "birthing class" thing in February though! LOL! It seems like Piper has been arond a lot longer so I thought you were making an annoucement for a minute. LOL! We'll let you enjoy Piper for awhile though before we start looking for a sibling! :)
cute picture of her with the Christmas ball---she's growing up fast!
