Wonderful couples!
These are pictures from our trip to New Orleans where we got to spend time with the Gandy family. Top to bottom: Scott & Michelle (cousins), Mike & Judy (uncle/aunt), Caroline & Mike (cousins; Caro and Scott are siblings). Don't they all look fabulous in these pictures?!

 

Can you believe his mouth is big enough to get his whole fist in there?! Of course, he gets it from his dad! Being a big mouth doesn't run in my family at all. Now is that literal or figurative?

 

What a ball player! A Giants fan already :0) My dad thinks he looks like a short-stop. It'll be fun to see if he becomes an athlete like his parents and which sports become his favorite. We're hoping that he falls for volleyball, baseball, football, basketball, and track. We're thinking of starting him out with gymnastics first, though, to help him develop his full-body coordination and flexibility.

 

There's our Rudy-roo! The tree's actually pretty high and he managed to do that all on his own. For a domesticated cat he's pretty skilled. He's brought me presents of bird, mice, and grasshoppers. I have no idea how he got fast enough to catch the birds, but now we have a bell on him to warn them of his coming. He's still wonderful, though! He's doing really well with Lincoln, too. And Lincoln totally notices him now and will watch him where ever he goes.

 

These are some of our favorite pictures taken from our Christmas photo shoot.

 

Can anybody tell what that says?
I wrote that with some beads, like the ones used for the Mardi Gras necklaces. I thought that was pretty ingenious myself

 

Pillows flying everywhere!
Jon loved being attacked and tackled by our nieces and nephews. They are so much fun! Some of the best kids you've ever met--seriously!
