Week 19 - Merry First Christmas!

Week 19 - Merry First Christmas!
(12/20/09 - 12/26/09)



This week was crazy it started out with the 2009 Blizzard that dumped 20+ inches of snow and ended with a wonderful first Christmas for Andrew being able to spend time with family and friends! We started Christmas Eve going to a lovely Christmas Mass at a local church near my grandparents and then went to their house to visit with family and open presents. Christmas morning was nice. It is great having two kids during Christmas and I can't wait until Andrew is old enough to know about Santa and get excited about waking up Christmas morning!

Christmas day we spent it with Paul's family and had another great dinner and Andrew got passed around to everyone! They just can't seem to get enough of his chubby little cheeks!

Well I have been sooooo busy with getting two kids shopped for and baptisms, and Christmas Parties that I can't believe that I forgot to post last week for Andrew! So this week is a combo post for this week and last week!

We have been getting ready for Christmas and went and visited Santa Claus, if you want a funny story head on over to Jacob's blog and check out A Year Without Santa Claus. If you have read that post then you know why Andrew is the only one in this years picture! But I have to say that the "deer in headlights" look that Andrew has is priceless!

We also went and got the first ever "holiday photos" with the two boys and I have to say (even though I am biased) that DAMN MY KIDS ARE CUTE!! Cause seriously is there anything cuter than two little boys dressed up in "man clothes"?? Nope didn't think so!

Lastly we decorated the house and got Andrew his "My first Christmas" ornament for the tree! I know he isn't going to remember any of this but lucky for him he has a mother with a trigger happy camera finger!!!

Lord, Surround this child with goodness.
Lead him in Your light each day.
Let him walk the path You've chosen.
Guide his steps along the way.
Teach him to trust Your wisdom and obey Your loving plan.
Keep him from all harm. Protect him as he grows to be a man.

Week 15 - Let's Give Thanks!

Week 15 - Let's Give Thanks!
( 11/22/09 - 11/27/09)

There are a lot of reasons to be thankful this week. For one we made it to another Thanksgiving with family, and two we have a new little guy that celebrated with us. Andrew is doing great and is awake now more than ever. He is still sleeping great and even had a few nights this week where he slept for 8+ hours and only woke up once during the night to eat! Needless to say I didn't know what to do with all of my new found energy from all of my sleep!

Andrew has also started trying to bat at and even grab toys. And we are getting into that ever dreaded waterfall of slobber period where everything goes into his mouth and nothing but slobber/drool comes out!!!
