New Year's Eve

We didn't feel up to going out this New Year's Eve. Kirk is sick with a sinus infection and I'm typically a home body anyways. We met up with the family at Mommer's house for a Wii tournament. Here are some action pictures.

Happy New Year!

Christmas Day

What a wonderful day! Beautiful weather and Holland's first Christmas. We got up and had our Christmas morning at our house. Here is Holland with her Santa gift, the Cruise and Crawl Musical Jungle. She absolutely loves it!

Then, we went over to Grannie's house to open more gifts and have breakfast.

After breakfast and a little rest, we went home to get ready for Christmas Dinner at Mommer's house. Of course, Holland had to wear her Christmas dress.

Merry Christmas to all!

5th Wedding Anniversary

Saturday the 20th we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. Wow - how time flies! I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. We always have an anniversary cake so this year I got it from where our wedding cakes came from, Kathy's Bakery. We had cake and made Christmas candy at Mommer's house. Here is one of my fave pictures from our wedding.

Another 6 month Christmas photo

Here is another photo from Holland's 6 month photos with Dixie. Love it!!!

6 month checkup

Holland grew so much! She weighed in at 15 lbs and 11 oz. She remained right below the 50th percentile for weight. She was 27 inches long, which puts her in the 75th percentile. Her doctor said she is "lanky" and doing "splendid". She hasn't been sick once in 6 months.......... knock on wood. She received 3 shots and did great. We are very blessed!

6 month photos

Here is one of Holland's 6 month photos with Dixie from last night. Absolutely adorable! She turns 6 months old today! We have her 6 month checkup today and I can't wait to see how much she weighs now.

Mommer's 87th Birthday

We celebrated Mommer's 87th birthday Tuesday evening. It was really laid back. We just ate and hung out. Here is Holland with Mommer.

Just three tries and she figured out how to use a sippy cup. Of course Holland chews on the sippy cup after every drink.

2 month photos

Holland will be 5 months tomorrow and she squealed for the first time last night! How fun! I actually caught it on video. How lucky is that? I never had digital pictures from her 2 month photos with Dixie until today. Here they are. She is so adorable in her baptism dress. I'm always amazed with Dixie's work.

Fall Portraits

We met with Dixie on Sunday afternoon for our Family Fall Portraits. This is one of the pictures she took.

Hello Mariner

Our new car has arrived! We got the 2009 Mercury Mariner Hybrid in on Thursday. It's so cool and smart. I still haven't figured out everything on it. We got it fully loaded, moon roof, navigation system, heated leather seats, reverse sensing system, and so much more.
