Guest Blogger!



We all know how much mom loves actually posting, so given the choice between posting or holding the baby, she had a hard time deciding which she wanted to do more. And so, here I am! Abigail Kate was born yesterday afternoon and she is happy and healthy and everyone is doing well! It has been so fun to have visitors over to the hospital to meet her and we are constantly amazed at how easy going she is. She hardly ever crys or even fusses, and that has only been when she is hungry or needs a diaper change and as soon as we help her she stops crying! Her hobbies include napping, eating, and long walks on the beach, and she is loving being alive so far. Also noteworthy, girlfriend is not opposed to keeping things including bows and headbands on her head. I knew she would love being a girl =)

Santa was Good to Us




We had a great Christmas filled with gifts and family and friends. McKay was happy with his "mostly mission" Christmas and Spencer was excited to get Wii fit and Megan almost burst with happiness when she opened her "BeDazzler".

Christmas Morning Excitement!



So, Christmas has come and gone and now all we have are the gifts and the memories. BriAnna and Kristopher were up at the crack of dawn (or maybe even a little earlier) to open gifts and have breakfast with his family and so our family decided to wait to open gifts until they arrived at our home. This plan seemed great to the parents (Doug and Melanie)and not so great to the kids (mostly Megan and Spencer). I woke up around 7 am and this is what I found when I looked in to see what Santa had brought for us.
