Jakie's First Thanksgiving

Here is a picture of Jacob during his first Thankgiving dinner!

Colorado Avalanche Game

Ryan got FREE tickets to the Avs hockey game on Wednesday night, and we went with Jakie! Not bad, being only 3 1/2 months old at your first professional sporting event! Our tickets were in the SEVENTH row--wow, we don't even really get into hockey but anything with seats that close is pretty cool. Jakie was a hit in his little bear snow suit, drawing smiles from young and old alike. Or maybe it was his good-looking, incredibly cool parents????!!! :)

Santa's Message

Looks like the unbelievable miracle has occured....Noah seems to have made it on Santa's "Nice" list this Christmas after all. No lumps of coal from Belsnickle! Ryleigh barely sneaked on to the list as well.

The Third Kid's "Nursery"

With Noah, I labored over decorating the perfect nursery for his new home. New paint, bedding set, pictures, stuffed bears, furniture, his name in letters, the works! Then, Ryleigh came along and inherited the same nursery, but we exchanged the bears for some dolls and angel pictures and got her name in letters too. Jakie . . . well, he gets his name in letters and some hand-me-down bears, but his "nursery" is in the hallway!!! What can you do???!!! We plan to eventually move him in with Ryleigh for a while until he is out of a crib, but for now, we are afraid she'll climb in bed with him and crush him!

My First Shoes

Jacob wore his first pair of shoes last week--I couldn't resist taking a picture of those cute little feet! He also found his hands and often sits there clutching them together like he is plotting something!

Big Brother and Big Sister

The kids love to sit by Jakie in Ryleigh's little blue chair. They beg me to take pictures of them and then want to see themselves in the camera viewer, always exclaiming, "How cute!!!"

Mommy's Jakie and Daddy's Jakie
