The Many Faces of Tummy Time

Thankfully Graham is enjoying tummy time more and more.  He is getting so much better at it too!  Enjoy the pics!

Weekend Wrap-up

Happy Monday!  We are loving this cool weather and that it finally feels like December!  We had a great weekend at home...it was nice to get things done around the house and spend time just the 3 of us in this busy season!

We kicked off the weekend with our Sunday School Christmas party on Friday night!  We had some yummy catered Italian food and exchanged white elephant gifts.  It was a good time catching up with friends and enjoying good fellowship!

Crystal, Sara, Summers, and me...love them!

Graham had fun with his babysitters on Friday night!  Trent and I were so excited about a night out while our good friends Leah and Joe watched Graham for us.  He was great for them, and we got a glowing report! :)

Can't you tell how much fun he was having?!

We had a relaxing Saturday morning at home, and Graham got to try out a new toy!  He definitely still needs to grow into it a lot, but he loved it!  We had to stuff towels around him to keep him from hitting his chin on the bars. 

He loved it when he figured out how to push off with his feet and start bouncing!

That afternoon I went and got my hair done and ran a few errands while Graham and Trent helped me out with a little bit of Christmas shopping.  It was a very productive day for all of us!  

Graham wore his favorite Christmas outfit to church on Sunday morning!

Trent said this is his first and last jon-jon! :)

On Sunday evening we met up with our good friends Chris, Summers, and Colton to eat dinner and look at Christmas lights!  

 My boys!!

 Chris and Trent with Colton and Graham!

I love this pic of the 3 of us with the beautiful lights in the background!

We are looking forward to a fun and busy week finishing up Christmas shopping and going to the zoo on Wednesday with friends!  Stay warm everybody!

House pics - Living areas

I can't believe I'm just now getting around to posting pictures of our new house!  I will break it into two posts...starting with the living area today.  We are absolutely loving being here and have felt so settled from the very beginning.  We love our neighborhood and our street.  Everybody is so nice and social!

We moved in on September 28.  Graham was 4 weeks old.  The timing worked out great because I was feeling a little better and could help more, and Graham was a little easier to manage than if we had moved when he was just a couple of weeks old.  My mom was here for 6 days helping finish packing at the townhouse, helping with Graham, unpacking at the new house, etc.  I can't tell you how helpful it was having an extra set of hands!  We so appreciated the help!

 Moving day!!
