Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!  Our computer is back running again just in time for the holiday.  We apologize for the long delay. Jake and Olivia had a fantastic time unwrapping presents in Plymouth, Louisville, and our house. Jake could not believe that Santa ate his Christmas cookies that he helped make.  Olivia was a party animal the whole time she was around people.  She loved her first Christmas. We hope you too had a wonderful holiday.

Merry Christmas 2010!

St. Nicholas Day!

For St. Nicholas Day at our household the kids place their shoes below the Christmas tree with their Christmas list.  On St. Nick Day Jake was extremely excited to see a little present and receive a lesson on giving to others.  We continued the celebration in Louisville.  Jake made a gingebread man house with Emma while Olivia showed off her babbling skills to everyone. We look forward in celebrating the Christmas season with you.

Happy Thanksgiving

We are thankful for our family and friends.

Mama's birthday!

Jake and Olivia did a lovely job getting the cake and singing happy birthday this week!  There were many laughs which makes an adult's birthday something to look forward too. 

Playing around...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  We are thankful to have been able to go trick-or-treating this year.  Jake had a fever on-and-off during the whole weekend.  After a doctor's visit we found out that Jake has an ear infection.  After the antibiotics were taken Jake was able to enjoy his trick-or-treating.

 Jake and Olivia did enjoy the Halloween festivities at the Louisville Zoo with Aunt Cindy and cousin Emma. Olivia embraced being a flower and wearing the headpiece. It was a fantastic family event!
