Happy Holidays!


Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful holiday in Chicago, and are now enjoying ourselves (as you can see) in Grand Rapids. We did not bring a computer with us to the Midwest, so this is the first chance we have had to get online. And now we can hear M waking up, so more to come later!

Good Read


This book, from Aunt Molly and Uncle Robb, combines two of ME's favorite things--dogs and Christmas. Look how engrossed she is!

Babies!

Jack, Dean, Clark, Zoey, Will, Braden--M loves looking at the babies and kiddos on the fridge. 





Babies, babies, babies...M can't get enough of seeing babies!

More Gifts...

A present from Aunts Joc and Jenn arrived in the mail today. At first, M was not sure whether she just wanted the box or what was inside.


But the contents was pretty great, and provided entertainment for the rest of the evening.




It was so exciting that M fell asleep at dinner. We started this video after most of the hilarity had already passed. Still so sweet.


A big "thanks" and we will see you soon!

No Pictures, Please!


We took some photos of M while we put on her jammies--and the flash was just a little to bright for our tired baby.

The Pajama Wars

M struggles after bath to get free and run around. She does not want to sit still and get a diaper and pajamas.




We always get them on, of course, but she tries her best to stay free.
