Train Man

Our little conductor!
(you can imagine him saying "whoooo-whooooo")

He is playing with his train set and table he got for Christmas, all the pieces are now glued or screwed down!

And a bit of a side note...........
Happy 34th Anniversary to Gramps and Grammie!
Hope you have a fun day.

Pictures from Christmas

The highlght of any 9 month's old Christmas - the wrapping paper and a box - I had actually already taken the contents of the box out and put them to use before I wrapped the box - I know a bit cheating, but you know he doesn't really care what's in the box - the real fun is in unwrapping, playing with the paper and then the box.

He was much more interested in watching Caeden or admiring the tree then letting me take a nice picture with him and his First Christmas stocking.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from us to you!
Hope you have a blessed Christmas!

Colm's First Christmas!

Hello from Colm

What a boy - a multi-tasking 9 month old!
He is drinking his cereal bottle, relaxing in the little box and waving hi.
He is so cute, usually waving "on demand" when we ask him too - he is very proud of this ability and grins from ear to ear.

the best ones

Caeden - 2 1/2 years old
Colm - 9 months

(doesn't he look so grown-up here?)

Brothers

This one of Caeden is one of our favorites so I wanted to get Colm in it as well in a similar pose..........

Another one - Caeden is 6 months and Colm is 9 months
I think they show their personalities - Caeden is more serious and Colm always has a smile
But they sure are cute!

trying to get a picture................

Sometimes the bad photos are just as fun....................

don't squeeze him so tight Caeden.........

sit still............the smiles are nice though......

chin down........

Caeden, look at me......Colm sit up..............

not too bad except for the little tilt of Caeden's head............

Many faces of Caeden

I asked him to just sit still and look happy.......................

And this was Colm's opinion of pictures today...............

It's a girl!

Welcome to little Charlotte Mae!

She was born this afternoon at 1:37 pm and weighed 5 pounds, 5 ounces. After waiting 8 days past her due date, she arrived quickly since Erin made it all the way thru the church service this morning before leaving for the hospital.
Congratulations to Troy, Erin, Madelyn and Ella!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for our family and friends.

poster child for Gymboree!

I'm not biased or anything, but don't you think he would make a great model for Gymboree?

little football fan

Colm was sitting here totally zoned into the football games - Kansas City vs Indianapolis. It was rather cute since no one else was really watching.

Emma, Colorado

Never heard of Emma, Colorado - but it is on our map and we drive by these old buildings between El Jebel and Snowmass. If only these buildings could talk...........the stories I am sure they would tell!

This is the house next door - it's in good shape and there are people living there.

This is across the highway - it looks like a schoolhouse.

Random pictures

Couldn't resist getting a picture of this sign!

Can you see the ski lift basket that has been made into a little swing or seat in this yard? You can see this from the main road in and out of Snowmass and as we were leaving one da Caeden said "I see a helicopter". I said "oh, really, that's nice" - I didn't see or hear any helicopter, but figured it wasn't worth mentioning. The next day I saw this and realized that is what he saw. Not a bad deduction from a 2 year's perspective!

I am guessing they can get anywhere they like all winter in this vehicle!
