Busy November

Greetings and Salutations!

It has been quite a busy November for us!

Here are a couple of shots from Logan's Baptism. We had it on November 20th because my folks were in town to visit my brother's new daughter and see his new house!

At first we were a bit overwhelmed and disappointed at being one of four baptisms that day - especially since there were two other huge families! But we quickly realized that baptism is a celebration of welcoming Logan into our faith community so in the end it was a joyous yet chaotic celebration!!

Another funny part of the day was that the cake I ordered came back saying "Happy Birthday Logan Joseph". It ended up being appropriate after a fashion. :-) So we just laughed it off!

Later that week we enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving/Anniversary with Grandma and Grandpa C. What a feast! As it turns out all four of us were sick that week so it was nice not to be fretting over a huge family meal, as I am prone to do. It was a great celebration of our four years together!!

The Great Thanksgiving Air Gun Fight!

As we turn towards Christmas everyone is getting excited. Jack loves to turn on all the musical decorations at once (of course). This weekend we even made a gingerbread village - a first for all of us!! Turned out okay and was lots of fun.

I have been having some trouble getting the camera to upload photos correctly so I don't have any of our gingerbread village, or anything after Thanksgiving. I hope to have it resolved soon, so there will be a huge Flickr upload when I have all my photos safely on a computer...I can only hope.

    Thank you we do feel blessed every day!

    I hope to solve the photo importing issue soon. My camera tries to upload but the computer saves only empty or corrupted files. :-(. May have to use Scott's computer.

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
