Alannah's first time standing all by herself - at church on Christmas Eve!

is there anything cuter then this little girl holding Da's finger and her candle?

Auntie Em and Colm

Great-Grandma, Auntie Em and the kids

Big brothers walking little sister.................

Merry Christmas!

from our house to yours.......

may you have a wonderful and blessed day

with family and friends!

I just love this little girl!

this look totally reminds me of Caeden -

she can be so stoic sometimes and not smile, regardless of how hard you try!

Did you know we have been married almost 5 1/2 years now?

we thought we would maybe do something special for our 6th anniversary.......

(I love that crinkly face smile of hers)

Caeden's giving you a clue.............

(might only make sense if you're a Fisk though!)

(it's not easy to get 3 kids to look at a camera at the same time!)

it would be a something special......... something you don't get to do every day......... doesn't need a passport.......... doesn't involve a beach.........

but it would be time away............ and include room service..........

though perhaps not overly restful............ should be good enough that I don't need to worry about any other birthday presents for Kieran.................

Alannah's gonna be a big sister!

....... a new little one is on the way with an arrival date around July 30, 2010!

Sorry, no pictures of the little one yet, you'll just have to enjoy these cute ones I took this week!

And the clue of Caeden's above? It will be the 12th Fisk grandchild - so I decided to post this on the 12th day of the 12th month!

the kids were all playing fireman!

Alannah walked around and around and around this bucket for the longest time - she was so entertained!

Sorry for the lack of pictures lately! Kieran has had the camera and so I haven't been taking as many. Will try and get some this weekend and download the ones that are still on the card.

birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Alannah Caileen!

You really are our "precious girl"

This last year has gone by so quickly.

It's hard to believe just a year ago you were born......

our tiny one at just 5 pounds, 12 ounces.....

You are still so tiny and petite - you weigh around 16 pounds now -

And have 3 teeth.....

But eat just about anything I give you, cut up small enough

you will gum and mash it and enjoy a wide variety of foods.

You still nap wonderfully, sleep through the night,

Are a morning girl - always up early.

You can drive a truck along the floor with your brothers.

You pull up and walk along any and everything.

We've caught you attempting to let go and stand a couple times,

but you land on your bum pretty quick.

You love playing with your Da and snuggling with mama.

You are nursing 3 times a day and still throughly enjoy it!

You can sign "more", "please" and "thank you"

We love you little princess darling!

Oh and since it is Thanksgiving too.............

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.....

from our house to yours!

Does 1 looking decent out of 3 count?

Note to self........ nice background, smart thinking putting snowpants on the boys, next time make sure Colm gets gloves too and try to catch Alannah is in a happy mood......... she was really not thrilled by the snow at all.

Alannah

(just a view of "all" her hair!)

(can you see her 2 teeth?)

Colm

He is LITERALLY saying while I took this picture "you mean a nice smile like this?"

her smile

Alannah has such a sweet smile, it just fills her whole face, you can see it in her eyes, she is such a happy girl, but that smile is hard to catch on camera to do it justice!

She's had her fingers in her mouth alot lately......... her top tooth is coming through - wasn't sure till I saw her grinding her teeth together this morning and realized it was almost thru.

Caeden

(I know it's a little fuzzy, but this is a "true" Caeden smile!)

Oh the joys........... of pillows......... Caeden says "Look mom, I am being a whale"........ as he is kicking his feet up and down while in the pillow................ and below......... just a few minutes later........ "Look mom, I am a snake shedding my skin"............ oh is an imaginative little boy!

peek-a-boo

Alannah loves to play peek-a-boo........ it is too cute.........

my view

from warm inside the house........!

just a few more of the little darling............
