Hello,

I trust everyone had a good Christmas with family and friends. We had a wonderful 1st Christmas with Emmett. He made it extra special.

Enjoy these photos of our Christmas.

P.S. Thanks Mom and Dad for you gift to us and for Emmett's

Nothing like getting a iTunes gift card.


Here's Emmett in his football sweat-suit.


Emmett couldn't see his present or he was getting bored, so dad put it in front of his face.


Emmett his first present - building blocks.


Family photo.


Nothing like getting money for Christmas.


Finally Lady gets her present - one that she can eat.


Kaylyn opening a present, while Lady is wondering where hers is.


Nice stocking stuffer.


He still loves his feeding time and tells us when he doesn't get enough.


Emmett seems to be mesmerized by the stuffed animals on his pack-and-play.

Lady's has been feeling a little left out with Emmett around.

Kaylyn, Emmett and Lady before Kaylyn's work Christmas Party. Emmett got dress in his big boy clothes.

We can't believe its been a month already. He has grown lots and is starting to smile for mom and dad - it's so much fun.

So we woke up this morning to about 8 in. of snow on the ground and in my car. Yes... in my car... yesterday I was trying to boost Kaylyn's Saturn and I guess I forgot to close my window. Now my seat is wet and will have to run the car for a while to dry it out. That was idiotic but I had a good laugh.

Here's Emmett getting a facefull of Lady's kisses.

Emmett's hat always seems to get tipped to one side - I think it's a pretty nice look
for him.

He still loves to sleep a lot.

I think Emmett has information overload in his chair.

Emmett's so warm and cozy sleeping on Grandma.

Here's Emmett at feeding time with Kaylyn. He starting to drink about 3 1/2 to 4 oz every 3 to 4 hours. He seems to love burping time - it's when he is able to lift his head and look around. He's still sleeping good at night which allows us Kaylyn and me to get some much needed rest.

Well, there's nothing like waking up in the morning to hear a load thud and feel the house shake and on top of it all have a crying hungry baby. We found out that a tree had fallen on our bedroom roof - surprise! Thankfully we where not inside the room and no windows where smashed out. It was fairly frustrating at first, but upon reflection we are all OK and we had friends and neighbors help us out.

Anyway besides all that things are OK with Emmett - he's eating so much and sleeping for 4 to 5 hours at night so mom and dad can get some rest.

Thanks for all your phone calls and e-mails of encouragement - it is very much appreciated.

One last thing, "Thank you baby Jesus for such a cute baby"

P.S. Enjoy the pictures...

Goodafternoon,

Nothing much going on today - just trying to get some much needed sleep. Emmett has been out of womb for 32 hours and is loving his sleep. He hasn't been too cry'e - Kaylyn and myself have been glad for that, we just hope it'll continue that way. Thanks for all your messages, I was home for a bit picking up some cloths. We will heading home tomorrow afternoon.

That's all for now - we can't wait to share Emmett with all or you.

Baby hasn't come yet - still waiting.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Well it's a week before the due date of the baby - we are eagerly waiting the new arrival of baby... any day now.

I didn't know that Popular Mechanics come out with this book. I'm sure it has some great technical techniques. I'm glad we got it?

Wow! This is the coolest family photos ever, the photographer has a great eye for lighting and positioning of the subjects - pure genius. Well other then the genius... it's late October and here's the three of us. We're counting down the days when baby will be an addition to our family photos.
