Christmas part one

Merry Christmas! We hope that yours was just as good as ours! We have been so very blessed this year. Andrew finished his 17 credit semester with straight A's, Bennett is learning new words nearly daily, Zoë sleeps through the night, and I lost all the weight I gained with Zoë. And those are just a few of the miracles we've experienced this holiday season. We've got more pictures and videos, but we'll post those later.

My parents found a special Night Before Christmas book that records your voice so Bennett and Zoë could hear them reading. Its light activated, which is why I keep turning the book towards the light. Here's a partial clip. It cut short because the camera got too full.

Zoë's Newborn Pictures

Just some of our favorite images from her photo session almost a month ago. There are a few of Bennett just because he kept trying to get in the way of camera, he loves getting his picture taken too. ;)

Bennett the Birthday Boy

Its hard to believe that two years have gone by already. Our baby #1 had grown into such a big boy. Bennett has changed so much, he's gone from a quiet baby content to stay still, to running around and always on the go!

Photography Preview

A friend of mine is working on her photography portfolio and wanted to take some pictures of Zoë. Here's a sneak peek, more to come at a later time.

Special Thanks to the Flamms

Bennett's new shirt

This thank you posting should have been posted a few weeks ago. A good friend of mine sent us a great package with things for all of us: a baby blanket and burp cloth she made for Zoë, a t-shirt for Bennett, and fancy caramel-center chocolate for Andrew and I. So thank you Flamm Family for thinking of all of us!
