January 2008 portraits

Skyler and I went to the photo studio with Brie and Kayden when Skyler was only a few weeks old (1/18/08). As if it weren't torture enough for him to sit through one photo shoot, I got the fabulous idea to take him the next day as well, with Grandma and Daddy. Here are the results of the fabulous photo shoot ... Thanks to the great workers at portrait innovations we got some really nice photos :) Hope you enjoy ...

New Year's Party :)

On New Year's Eve we went over to my parent's house. We had a great time as we celebrated with Aunt KatFish, Granmommy and Grandaddy. As the night went on we had New Years toast and then Aunt Patty, Uncle Adam and Uncle David called to send their best wishes for the New Year ... They were at a beach party (Skyler was just a little too young to go)! As the ball dropped we celebrated the start of a New Year with the blessing of a beautiful new life :) (I also celebrated the fact that I wasn't in the hospital having Skyler as 12/31 was his due date . . . he he!) We tried to take a family New Year's picture, but it didn't work out just like we had planned. Either Brendan was on the phone, Bauer was cut out, Someone wasn't looking, or ... Skyler made a poopy explosion! That's right, Skyler decided to hold out until the New Year to treat us with a dirty diaper ... You could hear it from across the room and you can certainly see the shock on my face in the family photo :) That just prepared me for the next few weeks where he saved all his poop for one diaper explosion at a time ... Which made for lots of clothes washing :)
Here is a slide show that documents the wonderful evening ...
