Christmas Video

In a month he'll be one
Where did the time go?
We've had lots of fun,
Even once in the snow!

But where once was an infant
now there's a boy
with a bright toothy smile
and a side grin that's coy

Our love's more intense
and our hearts more a glow
And where bitterness lived
now grace does it flow.

There's too much to post
and too much to say
so we'll just keep it short
cause we like it that way!

Enjoy the videos!!!

13 More Days 'Til Christmas!!

To commemorate our son's first Christmas ever, we did what thousands of eager parents and unwilling children do each year at this time...

we stood in line...
at the mall...
and waited...
to take a picture...
with...
SANTA!

Yes, folks, we embarked on yet another parental milestone today. Our little analyst had no idea what to take of this jolly old soul and studied him intently only taking a break to look at the camera while a middle aged woman flapped plastic clapping hands in the air and shouted "stinky, look, stinky!!!" She later confided that all children are either "stinky" or "peanut." Wonder how she chooses??? Wonder if she'd like to know what I would call her?

Anyway, here is the fruit of our efforts :) It's official for sure, we're parents!!

Mr. Nosy Returns...

Oh, is this a high chair...i was just checking, you know to make sure.
