the year of jubilee

on oct. 4th, we welcomed our little girl, jubilee sunah blum into this world.



...
just a few days later we celebrated atticus turning 2, and few days after that we celebrated mom turning 32!




halmoni came and stayed with us for 6 weeks!!! to help take care of us.

...
later that month, we celebrated halloween in our crafty homemade costumes: juby was a puppy, atti was the neighborhood woodchuck, mommy and daddy were critter control. our costumes were inspired by the neighborhood critters that attacked our homegrown brussel sprouts.

SUMMER TRAVELS
chicago and traverse city
halabujee was officiating a wedding in chicago, so the choes decided to have a minireunion in chicago where mommy grew up.


from chicago we traveled to traverse city where daddy grew up.



later that summer, when mommy was 8 months pregnant, she traveled across the world with 3 of her pals to train teachers in Indonesia.


we took one last weekend trip up to Vermont


daddy took a trip to Tanzania to attend a conference on global health.

long overdue update.

it's been a looong time since an update...
and this isn't really one.
it's a placeholder really.
will try to update by tonight....
seeing that our xmas cards went out with our blog address on it, we thought it might be time for an update.

for now... celebrate with us.
this is the first year that we've gotten our xmas cards out before xmas!
