Will's first plane ride

He did really well on our family vacation- even when our last flight got cancelled due to weather in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In total he took 5 plane rides. He loved to look over the seat and flirt with the fellow flyer's. He slept on the 2nd flight and fell asleep right after all the other flights landed- go figure. Vacation pictures to follow!

Oh, look what you found!

I was cleaning Grace's bed after giving her a bath, and the "short stuff" thought he would help too! Grace is really good with him- but still not sure she likes this "moving" thing.

Pure Cute-ness!

this was taken a few weeks back when Daddy and his buddy Matt were smoke-n some BBQ for some clients, next door neighbors, and of course ourselves =)
We are still trying to convince Daddy and Matt that their catering name needs to be Buddies BBQ. Perhaps ya'll could put in a good word for Will and I.

Daddy's day

or should I say, Happy First Father's Day!

Daddy's card was sealed with ... slobber. (hay, at least it wasn't missing a chunk like my Sunday bulletin) =)

Yes- even on Father's you don't get a break from being a dad!

The grocery bill just got bigger

This is what we can home with from the store today. Can you tell we hit a new mile stone?

"Thanks mommy for my Mum-mum."

Look at me- I'm a BIG boy.

There yum-yum!

Isn't it nice to feel appreciated

at least I think so. It has been a very busy and rewarding year. And of course there have been rough and difficult times, but through it all God blessed me with a great group of kids and parents this year. My parents and kids have been very generous and thoughtful. They blessed us with a beautiful baby shower for baby Will. Then last week I got many wonderful books, school supplies, flowers, sweets, and even shopping gift cards. :) And if that wasn't enough they even gave me more end of the year gifts (pictures above).

Thanks class of 2010 for all the memories! You will always hold a special place in our hearts!

For all the mommy's out there...

there is nothing more precious than a sleeping baby, right?
