2011

We haven't added a lot to our blog since the family got together over 4th of July so I thought I'd give it a try.

On October 5, 2011, Logan Matthew Ball was born in Cambridge, MA and I was able to get there just in time.  Kayla and I had a great time together while Braden and Tiffany adjusted to this new addition to their family.

Happy family at home.


On November 5, 2011, Mason Anderson Wolf was born in Sunnyvale, CA.  Ashley and I were excited to visit Terrill and Emily and Mason in the hospital just hours after he was born.  Two days later Rudy, James and Jen were able to join us at Terrill and Emily's apartment to welcome Mason to the family.

Terrill and Emily were able to visit us later in November and we were able to get some good shots.

 On Christmas Eve Rudy and Ashley and I opened some presents with Terrill, Emily and Mason and James and Jen.  For one of my Christmas presents Rudy had ordered Christmas dinner from our favorite caterer, Barbara Llewellyn.  It was a great day.

On Christmas Day we went to church and then our good friends, Ken and Janet Johnson invited us over for dinner to celebrate Christmas with them and their daughter Dara and new son-in-law Jeff.  Ashley and I also made Christmas cookies.



On December 28th Braden, Tiffany, Kayla and Logan arrived.  That night we all drove down to Sunnyvale for Mason's blessing.

That night we celebrated a Happy New Year a little bit early so we could all go to bed.  I know, a bunch of party poopers.





 On January 1st we all attended our ward sacrament meeting for Logan's blessing and then took pictures out in the backyard.
