Merry Christmas! We woke up Christmas morning with no snow unlike what the weatherpeople had forecasted.

The kids ripped through their packages in record time and left a complete mess! We finally found the floor before it was time for bed.

We hope that you had a very Merry Christmas and that you have a great 2007!

Santas coming...Santas coming...

Having birthday cake with Abbey~she turned 9 today!
My puppies sleeping~oh how cute!
Helping Mom clean up after she made Abbey her birthday cake!

We are counting down the days that Santa will be here...7! I wonder what he'll bring for me. I have everything in the world especially two parents that love me a lot! Merry Christmas!

Getting ready for Santa

Mary put some on some new fashion jewelry today~guess she didn't like it much! The cries started as soon as it touched her little skin. Mommy even tried on the jewelry...isn't it beautiful.

Mary's first trip to meet Santa...she didn't like that either! It was alright until she looked to see who was holding her!

November 30th...

Helping Daddy clean up after making Mom's cake! MMMmmmmm Goood!
The cake was soooo good! Wish that we could have shared some!
DEAL OR NO DEAL?

The last day of November is here and we've captured a few shots the last few days worth sharing. School was cancelled today because of the icey mix that we got yesterday/last night. We are suppose to get up to 8" of snow today/tonight..maybe the kids will be here tomorrow to play with me too????

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is me on Daddy's bday at Chuck E. Cheese. I had lots of pizza and pudding! It was yummy.
My great grandma, Mumu, came to our home to be with us on Thanksgiving and my brothers had a Thanksgiving Mass in honor of grandparents so she came for that too.
After my pumpkin pie, I had to have my milk!
Eating my pumpking pie. It was sooo good!!!
Eating my Thanksgiving breakfast~mini chocolate donuts! What a way to start the day!

My Uncle John and Mumu were here for Thanksgiving. Tomorrow we are going to put up our Christmas tree! I can't wait to see that. All of our neighbors have hung their Christmas lights up so it's so pretty in our neighborhood. We have a deer in our front yard, but it's not real. We hope that you had a great Thanksgiving feast~we sure did!

I love you!

Let's catch up!

This is me on my 10 month birthday! Gobble, gobble, gobble!

I just love cupboards! I just found out that I can open up the doors and play with whatever is inside!!! I had to try every bottle in the cupboard just to make sure that they were all empty!

Yummy donut!! One of my favorites! Glazed!

Happy Birthday Daddy! Today Daddy turned "29"! He doesn't look a day older than 38! Shhh~don't tell him that I said that! We went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate. I loved the pizza that I tried! Mommy even brought me my very own special dessert~chocolate/vanilla pudding.

Happy Halloween!

Mommy put me in the costume...I was real happy before she put the wig on me! I don't know what to think about that crazy hair!

Do you like my costume? You should see Daddy's. Oh wait...he doesn't have one! :-)

Have a great Halloween. We'll be trick or treating in the dark and cold!

Love you!

Spooky!

Daddy carved out this cool pumpkin just for me on my 1st Halloween! It is suppose to be R-E-A-L cold tomorrow. He's going to have to work real hard if he wants some candy!

Happy (Early) Halloween!

Today I went to my first pumpkin patch. This is the last Saturday before Halloween! Mommy and Daddy took me on a tractor ride that pulled us out the pumpkin patch~we didn't find any cool pumpkins that we had to have, but we sure did take a lot of pictures. I don't really know what to think of pumpkins. They kind of scared me!
Daddy took me down this super fast slide. He sure was brave. He liked it so much that he took me down it again!
My parents are going to a movie tonight so I have a babysitter coming over! That should be a lot of fun!
My Doctor called Mommy earlier this week and told her that I have a little hole in my heart. He hopes that it will close up on its own, so for now, I'll have to have a yearly echocardiogram to monitor.
Did I tell you that I know how to climb up the stairs? I surprise Mommy and Daddy all the time. I really like playing with my new puppy, Charlie too! He's so much fun. Lucy is good to me too!
I love you all!

Getting ready for Halloween

Halloween is 8 days away. Mommy has started to make my costume...I'm going to be a clown. She put my "hair" on me yesterday...I HATE IT! It's too scratchy! Do you like my Halloween basket? Daddy is going to take me Trick-or-Treating so he can get some snacks for us to share!

I went to my DRs appt on Friday for my echocardiogram. We still don't know anything but I suspect that the Doctor will call us today with the news.

It's still real cold here! I have a new coat to wear for this winter but I can't really move my arms much!

I love you all!

Our newest addition to the family...

Another Smore night! Daddy is so warm!
Lucy and Charlie napping
Lucy and Charlie still napping!

....Meet Charlie. He's a mini-long haired dachshund. Mommy picked him up yesterday. He's a little spunky at times! He slept a lot today and even cuddled up next to Lucy! I have my Drs appointment with the Pediatric Cardiolist on Friday afternoon. Mommy & Daddy will let you know how it goes. It has been so cold lately! If you live someplace warm, please send some sunshine this direction!

To celebrate my 9 month birthday...

Mommy created another montage, click on the link below!


I'm 9 months old now

I went to see the Doctor yesterday. I got 2 shots! I almost made out of the Doctors office without any tears. The nurse tried real hard to not hurt me, but my legs are so small, I don't like those nasty needles in me! The Doctor heard a heart murmur so he wants for me to go get a Pediatric Echocardiogram. I feel okay, but he didn't like the sound that my little heart was making. Mommy and Daddy will let you know when I have to do that. The Doctor also had me play a few games. It was fun. He showed me how to ring a bell. I don't think he thought that I could do that, but I showed him! He was surprised and very happy. I am in the 5th percentile for my weight, Mommy calls me her little peanut! I weight 15 lbs/10 oz and I am 27 1/2" long (50th %ile).

We are getting ready for Halloween. Mommy still doesn't know what I'll be, but I'm sure that she will figure it quickly. My brother Andrew is going to be a Ninja, Matthew is going to be a PowerRanger and my sisters don't know what they are going to be yet either.

I love you all and thanks for coming to my blog!

It's a smores nite!

Last night we lit our outdoor fire pit and had some smores. My brothers had fun burning their marshmallows and eating the chocolate. We played outside for about an hour. Daddy was keeping me warm in his big arms. Mommy...was the photographer so there aren't any picture of her.

The many faces of Mary

The many faces of our beautiful Mary Margaret. She is developing into a quite entertaining baby. She is so excited when she sees her daddy after he's been gone all day slaving to corporate america. She tends to cry when she is hungry--only mommy can soothe her then. Mary is becoming quite fond of table foods. She prefers the real sweet ones, but they don't always agree with her tummy. Thanks for stopping by! We love you all!

A smile to melt your heart...

Our beautiful daughter...she's 8 months old now and growing up.
Some (fun) facts about Mary Margaret:

• she likes dog treats & Lucy's food
• she's a confident crawler
• she's funny
• she's outgoing
• she's a 'puke machine'
• she's bright
• she's her Daddy's spittin' image
• she's loved by many!!

It's been a while...

Oopss...guess Mommy & Daddy caught me...I didn't get a chance to taste the 'vino' before they took the bottles away from me!

Have you tried these new treats..Not only does Lucy enjoy them, but I do too! (they are Lucy's dog biscuits) :-)

My first CIRCUS! It was a real late night for me! I saw some really funny people, I guess they are called clowns. My Daddy held me most of the time while I watched the show. I think I liked the elephants the best!

Yummy~trying another one of Lucy's treats. She was real nice to share with me. I think this one was BBQ flavor!

It's bathtime!

Just a few pictures of me before/during my bath! I really like my baths. I sit up all by myself while I get washed. I don't get to play too long but I guess I will be able to as I get older!

On the eve of my 7 month birthday--we're outside on our porch!
Hi! It's my birthday today! :-)
Look how pretty my eyes are...

Today is my 7 month birthday! Mommy took me get some pictures taken. I did real well! I had a lot of smiles and no tears! I think we'll play outside today if the weather ever decides to cool down. Daddy pulled out some old baby toys yesterday so I've been real busy playing with my new toys. Most of them make a lot of noise-I like noise and I like lights! I love you!

a few pictures of...M E !!!

Hello. Mom and Dad have been real busy trying to snap pictures of me. Guess I'm beginning to change a whole lots these days. Did you notice that I can sit up all by myself now. I don't tumble over nearly as much as I did a few weeks ago. I like to play with toys too. I have a real neat one that I share with my dog, Lucy. Well, actually it's her toy but I try to get it from her sometimes! Do you like the picture of me in the clouds? Daddy was holding me and Mommy took my picture...it turned out super cool! Well, that's about it from here...I love you all! Write us when you can!

Mary Margaret

A montage on Mary...

We are blessed

We've finally moved!!!

Yummy...I'm eating rice cereal for the first time. I'm not too sure if I know how to eat from a spoon. I sure did make a mess!

Look what I can do now! On my 6 month birthday, I showed Daddy and Mommy that I could get up on my knees. This picture doesn't really prove it, but I promise you that I'm getting better at my tricks!

Mommy pulled out one of Matthew's old toys...I'm sitting up all by myself. I still tilt over but I'm getting better at sitting by myself.

All dressed and ready to go for my first day of swim lessons. Daddy and me go together. I had a really good time! I think that I did okay. Daddy learned some really cool songs for us while we're in the water playing!

We are finally all moved into our new house. We've met a lot of the neighbors. There are a lot of kids that live by us so all of us should have someone to play with close to our own age. We had a major rain storm the other day, but our house survived! Daddy is pretty upset about the sink hole in our yard, but I think that it could be worse. My sister Abbey was Baptized last weekend. We didn't get any pictures to share; can you believe that Mommy didn't have a camera in the car? I turned 6 months old on the 10th. I have started to eat rice cereal,drink apple juice from a cup, sit up and get on my knees. I'm growing up! I love you all! :-)
