Blog Slacker

I know I have been a bit of a blog slacker, but I have much to share! Cori's baby Brady, Christmas with both sides of the family, lunch with FBA gals, and my 10 year reunion. What a fun week it has been! Posts to come. Soon I hope!

Christmas Party

Last Saturday, we went to a really nice Christmas party at my brother & sister-in-law's new house. Jonah was the only child there, and he took full advantage of all the attention! Thank you, Jeremy & Sabra, for having us!

Christmas Tree

Although Jonah does not like his "play pen" anymore, we have found good use for it this Christmas season. He is obsessed with the Christmas tree, so it is nice to have a barrier. He still manages to push the play pen against the tree and pull the branches however. When there is a will, there is no stopping Jonah. :) I am so glad he loves the tree, and he will be so sad when it is gone!

B&W Babies

Pete took a really cool picture of Jonah this morning, and it reminded us of a picture he took about 3 years ago of Lily. Our kids long to be outside!

Toy Basket

Pete watched Jonah while I had a fun night out with girlfriends on Friday. He said they had a lot of fun, and Jonah learned how to climb in his toy chest. Pete said he looked over, and Jonah was just hanging out in it playing with his toys. I am glad he had the camera close by!

So silly:


So happy:

Puzzle Time

Jonah got several wooden puzzles for his birthday, and he took a liking to them right away. At first, he just liked to watch me put the pieces in the board and carry around the pieces. In the last month, however, he has become quite adept at doing it himself! It's so cute to see how proud he gets after he puts each piece in the right place and completes the puzzle! A big smile always follows.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Mac!

This post is very late, as Pete's Dad's b-day was November 30. We had a great afternoon celebrating! Jonah especially enjoyed helping Grandpa open his presents!
