Family Photos!

Joshua, Heather, and I were so happy with the photos taken in the Arboretum we decided to have some professional photos taken at home.  And this time Alyssa was able to strike a few poses :)  We included some of our favorites below.  The rest have been uploaded to Picasa Web Albums.  You can check them out by clicking on one of the photos below.  When your browser opens to Picasa Web Albums, click on "Photos" in the upper right corner.  When the page loads click on the "Family Portraits" album.  Enjoy!

Merry Christmas, Alyssa!

Well we had a great Christmas this year!  We had a houseful of guests to celebrate with!  As seems to be the case with these updates lately, there were too many pictures to fit on one page.  Be sure to click on the link to "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page to make sure you don't miss anything!  We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Below are a few photos from Alyssa's first Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas!


Big yawns!


No funny business, giraffe!  I've got my eye on you!


Alyssa and Grandma...

Eating some shirt...


Ah, the magic of Ladybug...


If choosing a toy that would make a baby smile were a game in Vegas, definitely bet on the ladybug...


She's always good for a smile!


All settled down for a long winter's nap...

Merry Christmas, Joshua!

Joshua's gift for Mom and Dad was his sleeping in until 8:30AM!!  That's a world record!  Turned out all that sleep came in handy when it came to playing with all those toys!  Joshua made quite a killing this year.  Here are quite a few photos from Joshua's Christmas...

New cars!!  How did they know!


Definitely getting the hang of opening gifts!




Wow!  A truck that can hold other trucks!


Opening gifts with Grandma...


New trike!


Taking it out for a spin!


Safety first!


He finally wears a helmet and it won't stay on his head!




Resting with Dad on my new dog pillow!


Even picking up is fun on Christmas!


Took a little while to get the concept of the stocking.  You can see when the realization sets in that there are gifts in there... and then when he figures out how to get them out!
