Our Christmas Letter!!


Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Miss Scarlett was nestled all snug in her bed…again!
While visions of Ambien danced in our heads.
When out from the monitor there arose such a chatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter!
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a wide-a-wake Scarlett, our sweet little dear…what the heck!
With father up, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment that he soon would be sick!
He shouted, Now Scarlett! Now Scarmar! Now Marlett and Mookie!
You should be sleeping our sweet little Pookie!
All bundled and binked, from her head to her foot,
Her dreams were all tarnished and ours were caput.
Her eyes-how they twinkled! Her dimple how merry!
Her cheeks were like roses, her nose like a cherry!
Her droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
All the while saying its time to play, don’t you know!
She sprang from her crib with delight and a squeal
And away we both walked to go get her a meal.
How we love our dear Scarlett, our friends and our family
And ask that for Christmas could you please send a nanny?!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

With Love,
Seth, Rachel and Scarlett Helgeson

Moving Moivng Moving!!

The last couple of weeks have gone by so fast and have been pretty crazy! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Karlea, Don and their two boys came so we had a great time playing with kids. Karlea and I got out a few times alone which was very fun!! After Thanksgiving Dil and Rae (my grandparents) came for a week. They have not been to Az in many years! I was so fun to see them for a few days! After they left the moving began! It rained two out of the three days we were moving that made moving extra fun! We are starting to feel organized downstairs however upstairs looks like a bomb went off...So I am off to conquer the upstairs! Wish me luck!!

Happy Halloween!!





We had such a fun Halloween! As you can see Scarlett was a Pink Punk Fairy!! Yes, Pink hair and all! I had so much fun dressing her up and sprinkling her with sparkles! We went over to mom and dads neighborhood for their annual neighborhood trunk or treat party! It was very fun! Scarlett didn't quite know what to make of all the kids running around in their costumes! Little did she know she fit right in!! What a blast! Tomorrow is her First Birthday what a fun couple of days!
