Avery Rose


Avery graced us with her presence on January 15th. Her mommy is my cousin Natalie and her husband Eric. She was 6 pounds 14 ounces and 19.25 inches. Welcome to the world, Avery.

Look, Mom, I found my.....

...tongue!!!
Ethan has recently discovered his tongue, and it is hanging out all day long!!! I was trying to take pictures for his scrapbook and kept getting his tongue in almost every picture. I guess these are the things that you can't help but laugh at and we will continue to laugh at when we are looking at his scrapbook many, many years from now.

Just Chillin'

Thomas caught this moment one evening while Ethan was laying there watching tv with his arms behind his head. I guess I have trained him well and he knows when to grab the camera!!

Merry Christmas


Ethan's first Christmas wasn't too exciting this year. He did get a activity center from Grandpa and Grandmom Helgoth and toys from Grandma and Papa Brisnehan. Next year should definitely be more interesting.

Our First Family Portrait

Thomas and I are so proud to be able to take a family portrait. It was a little interesting to try and get a consistent smile out of a 3 month old!!!

Turkey Day

We all had dinner at Ron and Dixie's house this year. Man, can she put on a feast or what??? Ethan couldn't enjoy all the goodies this year, but he was dressed for the occasion.
Rhonda is working the new camera and showing off her artistic side. She got this picture of my little man taking an after dinner nap.

Happy Halloween


Ethan was a tiger for Halloween. His Aunt Rhonda bought his costume while we were still in the hospital. He only wore it for about 3o minutes, but we got at least one cute picture out of it.
