Noelle’s top front left tooth is coming in – it is so big and white! Her bottom teeth are cutting through as well. She has been so uncomfortable but is making the most of it in spite of the pain. We are so proud of you, Noelle bug!!!

We are having so much fun with Noelle these days… she’s pulling up and standing on everything from the dishwasher, to the ottoman, kitchen chairs, and even her high chair!

She’s a burst of energy, and we love it!

She flirts with strangers when we go to a store or out to eat… she’s full of cute smiles and giggly grins!

Ashley and Shawn got engaged New Year’s Eve! We are so happy for you guys – you are a match made in heaven, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

John and Noelle playing with her rings… not Ashley’s ring, but ya know!

Thanks for coming over guys!!! We love you!

This prayer has meant so much to us over the holidays… may 2007 be a year of giving, listening, learning, and loving unconditionally!

“O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”
— Saint Francis of Assisi

Happy New Year!

Congratulations, Jon and Heather!!! We are so excited you guys are getting married and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Jon crept up behind Noelle being playful…

… but Noelle wasn’t so sure about that jolly giant…

… but in the end she got the best of him!

Daddy and me!

Drew taught me how to enjoy a paci – well, sort of…

Thanks for bringing in the New Year with us Heather and Jessi!

Happy New Year everyone…

“Thank you for my May birthstone baby ring, Aunt Joe!”

“Don’t I look like a princess!”

“I love it!”

Thanks guys for having us over for dinner!  After Michele’s cooking class, we’ll do it again at our place – (:

Noelle loves her elephant towel, and we love the Christmas dishes – thanks so much!!!

We had our little family Christmas after celebrating with both families on Christmas day!

Noelle’s froggy Pond Christmas tree!

“Let’s go shopping!!!” We had so much fun shopping the day after Christmas with our Christmas money. Then we went to see “The Nativitiy Story” with Uncle Steve.

Our hearts are overjoyed with the blessings of this season – which, above all, is the birth of our Savior… so humble and so perfect.

Mama Kay and Grand Papa love me soo much!

“I’m not about to do what you think I’m going to… I promise!”

Grandma tells me I am the most intelligent baby in the world!

“I’m going to be a great piano player, just like my daddy!!!”

“Uncle Steve is so cool!”

Games on Christmas evening… what an amazing first Christmas!
