Paul and Sarah's nap times didn't coincide today. But Sarah and I had fun stretching out on the floor without worrying about being trampled by the boy. And I got some good pictures!


 

Over the Thanksgiving holiday we went up to Pennsylvania to spend some time with Jeff's side of the family. Paul had a good time banging on some real drums in their basement. The picture is a little dark but I think you can make it out. (Oh, and that is Jeff noodling on the guitar in the background)

The group shot. You'll notice Paul was not to keen on dressing up. He didn't even want to stay dressed up long enough to go get candy from the neighbors. Maybe next year.

So I think you all really want to see some more pictures of Sarah...

Sarah making a kissy face (TODAY -- 5 weeks old/ 1 month & 6 days)

Since Paul doesn't sit still for long, I don't have many pictures of Sarah and Paul, so here's a solo shot of Paul today...

There is a lot to catch up on. Let's start with Laura's birthday. Grandma Bonnie was down to visit, see the new baby and celebrate Laura's birthday with us on the actual day.

Here's everyone.

Here's Laura's first day at school

Here's Paul doing what he does.

Saturday we celebrated Laura's 5th birthday. She doesn't really turn 5 until the middle of September, but with the new baby coming and school starting soon PLUS a request for a pool party, we thought celebrating a month early would work out best.

We were blessed to have no rain and use of the Maloy's pool and backyard. (Thanks Curt and Holly!) Pool time with friends, Chick-fil-a, cake, ice cream, and presents. What more could you ask for...

Happy Memorial Day!

So now that it has been over a month since Paul's 1 year birthday, here are some pictures...

First, Jeff's parents came down to visit a week or so before Paul's birthday and just a little after Grandma Bonnie's birthday, so we took some time to celebrate.

yum, cake!

a little assistance

On Paul's actual birthday we had dinner at Wendy's parents. I forgot to bring the camera but Aunt Christy had her's and took some great pictures.

Happy Birthday Grandma!!

This morning I walked in from the dining room to this...


Do you think he wants to go outside?

Collin, Uncle Jim and Aunt Sandy. I'm pretty sure Laura took this picture. I didn't even need to crop it.

Christmas 2009 - Part II

Christmas morning we went to celebrate at the Stum's with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lindsey, Aunt Christy, Uncle Ben, Luke, Julie and Uncle Kevin.

Christmas 2009 - part I

Christmas eve we opened a few presents and then went to a service at our church (an early service so we could get plenty on sleep).

(great)grandpa Bill sent me this lovely picture of the kids with (great)grandma Anita. It must have been taken sometime this summer...

Next up, christmas pictures!
