Christmas is now over. Grandpa and Grandma Willmore came for 10 days after Christmas to get to know Addison. We had a great time with them. We traveled to Pennsylvania to visit Grandpa Rod's mission, we visited a wonderful couple that he had baptized and are still active in the church. It was wonderful getting to know them and their kids. We also spent a day in Washington DC and visited the Air and Space Smithsonian, I couldn't believe how much we could see there. Oh, we also spent a few minutes viewing the hope diamond, my favorite!!! I must convince RJ to buy if for me some day!
Addison has now turned one month old. She is a "perfect" little baby. At least her dad and I think so.
RJ has returned to school and is working hard in his new classes. He is already as busy as ever, and I hardly ever see him. I do get to see him when he comes down for study breaks to snuggle and kiss Addison. It is no longer me he wants to kiss and snuggle, oh well.
I have been having a good time with Addison during the day. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get much done around the house. Addison was much too spoiled during her first month of life with grandma's and grandpa around. Addison loves to be held, she can't even sleep without being held, so the house isn't as clean and tidy as I would like it, but I have loved being with Addison. Our little Angel is already sleeping great at night. I get at least three to five hours at a time, yeah! I just hope that it lasts.
Gizmo has had a rough first month. He has had a skin problem from the change in weather and half of his hair fell out. Of course it happened when the lover of inside pets was at the house, my mother. But he is doing much better now. He is still a little curious about Addison when she cries. He is great at alerting me if I don't hear her right away. He would love to give her lots of kisses, but of course RJ and I haven't let him get his fill in yet. Perhaps when she if Five or Six.
That's all for now, it will take me a while to get a hang of this "blog stuff." I am really bad when it comes to technology, and RJ is really busy with studies and can't help me as much as I would like. lots of love, RJ, Joelle, Addison, and Gizmo

Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Willmores. We are now "one more" with Addison here. She is perfect! (Except at Night or any other time that you want to sleep) She finally arrived on December 10th and was a normal 7lbs 4 oz. Joelle is doing wonderful and she is a great mother.
We had a great time with Joelle's parents visiting and Joelle's mom was a wonderful help with the brand new baby! We were disappointed that her dad had to leave before Addison came. With school out we haven't been doing to much other than hanging out at home and holding our baby. It has been nice not to have to worry about too many things other than taking care of Addison. She has been sleeping about 3 or 4 hours at a time and she usually only makes a fuss when she is hungry.
I am still a novice diaper changer but am working on the art of only using one or two wipes at a time, which I find impossible. I have widdled my count from 5 or 6 wipes per change to about 3 or 4. Not bad for a novice, right?
We have been taking a bunch of pictures and hope you tolerate our biased opinion that she's a beautiful little baby. Enjoy the pictures of our little one and Happy Holidays!
I will try to post more often, and hopefully I can teach Joelle how to make her own posts.

Welcome
Welcome to the Willmore Blog. With a "little one" on the way we thought this would be an easy way to keep in contact with a lot of people at once. We will try to post pictures and videos of our life on the east coast.
The baby will be full term on November 8th, and Joelle is getting ready for the baby to come. She is buying all kinds of baby supplies and I think we have almost everything we are going to need. The due date is November 29th, but I am hoping for December 1st the day after two anatomy exams. Joelle is hoping for earlier than that so she can have help from her mom for a longer time. We shall see what happens.
I am messing around with the website and have a poll as to when the baby will come. Let us know what you think.
