Mmm... Rice Cereal

We attempted feeding rice cereal to Adam yesterday. He seemed to enjoy it. Here's what it looked like :)

Merry Christmas Everyone

We had a pretty quiet little Christmas yesterday with just the three of us. Robin and I both had to work until around 11:00 yesterday and then came home to spend the rest of the afternoon with Adam. We took some time to open a few remaining presents before church and went to the early service which was geared towards families with small children. After church we took a little drive to look at the lights in Lindenwood park. Since Adam slept through much of this, we had a difficult time getting him to go to bed at his normal bedtime, so he got to stay up an extra two hours waiting for Santa. Santa did visit last night and brought Adam a little Indianapolis Colts sleeper and his mother also got some Colts sleepwear. We tried a little video with our new camera while opening presents yesterday, so here's our attempt at movie magic.

Happy Anniversaries!

Sorry again for the not posting in awhile. The holiday times have been busy. Last weekend we took off for Duluth for a visit. It was my mom's birthday weekend and the trim the tree party at my grandparents. We decided we would surprise them by coming to the party. Adam was a big hit as always. He was all smiles as usual. We had a great time, and I will have pictures soon.
This last week has been busy almost every night. I was in a program at church so there we long rehearsals for that, plus we had to finish up our Christmas shopping. This past weekend we had all of the family in town. Can you believe we were able to cram 13 people for dinner into our house on Saturday night. Adam was sick over the weekend, he wasn't eating and what he would eat would come right back out (from both ends). Ryan and I were lucky enough to catch Adam's bug on Sunday. We were quite the trio on Sunday night, the three of us got cozy in bed and all went to sleep early. It was so nice to have all the grandparents in town, they helped with Adam and with aftermath cleaning from dinner on Saturday. Ryan, Adam and I are very lucky.

Happy anniversary to my parents today, married 30 years! Also happy anniversary to Erika and Joel married 2 years today. I hope you guys are enjoying your new house!

I promise to post some fun pictures soon.

Thumb sucking video!

As promised. Enjoy!

As you can hear, we were watching The Office

Somebody found a thumb!!!

For some reason pictures aren't loading tonight, but Adam was sucking his thumb today. We also took some video, but I can't load that either. Stay tuned...

Let it Snow!

Over the weekend we got about 7-8 inches of snow. Here are the pictures I promised of the fun winter activities that Adam got to do. He had a very busy weekend.

All bundled up for a car ride.

Yummy cookies!

Adam stuffed after eating all those cookies. :)

He and daddy needed a nap after the busy weekend.

Happy Birthday Dan!

Happy birthday to my brother Dan! He is 29 today. Dan also shares his birthday with Britney Spears, Luci Liu, and Gianni Versace. I was thinking back again and realized that one year ago this very weekend is when I found out that I was pregnant with Adam. My how time flies. It feels like he has been around longer than three months. He is at a very fun stage. He smiles and giggles at just about everything and is content to just stare at himself in the mirror. I can't post any new pictures because I am posting at work, but I promise I will get some up tomorrow. We got almost a foot of snow here over the last couple of days. I feel like I blinked and now it is winter. Ryan has been motivated by the new winter weather to start some Christmas goodie baking. Ryan is not only a very good cook but he bakes pretty well also. I really lucked out because I am not very good at either. Well I suppose, back to work. More, with pictures, tomorrow. In the meantime, here are some fun holiday blogthings to try out.
