Christmas 2010

The Boys being tortured with "Christmas sweaters"...we think Fletchy actually likes his. Titan is sulking.

Shannon & her very large pile of gifts. She must have been good...Santa brought a LOT!


She decided eating her "first Christmas" card was better than reading it...


Shannon & her new car! The first of many if she's anything like her mom...

The Christmas tree before we tore in:




Shannon's first Christmas...blocks from Daddy!



Shannon driving her new car under the influence...

House Project: Operation Bathroom

We had Todd "the cabinet guy" come & finish off the other 3 bathrooms as he had in the master bath some time ago. Todd is chronically late getting these projects done, but once he completes them they look great. So, below you will find the before & after pictures of the three bathrooms!

Thanksgiving

We had some good friends over for dinner along with my Dad & Kerry. It was good food, family, and friends! The blanket of white snow made it really feel like the holidays!

Shannon gets fresh with David...



Shannon isn't shy about reaching out for David...

Shannon is 6 months old!

Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday we were leaving the hospital with this tiny little 7lb baby...now she's 17 lbs. I can't believe Tom & I ever thought we might not have kids. I can't imagine life without Shannon. She's just so amazing to just watch. I could literally just watch her for hours.

Well, our little baby is not so little anymore....she is in the 75th percentile for her 17lb weight & the 95th percentile for her 27" height.

Here is Shannon at 1, 3, and 6 months:

Hawaii trip October 2010

We spent a week in Hawaii with Shannon. While the 3 hour time difference didn't play in our favor, Shannon had lots of fun & for the first time in her life swam in a pool and in ocean! She loved it...somehow we knew she'd be a natural in the water! Here's her first dip in the pool:



A few photos of the landscape around the resort:







Christie swam with the dolphin's at the hotel's "Dolphin Quest" which was pretty fun!




And of course a vast majority of our pictures were of Shannon enjoying her visit to the 50th state (her 5th state!):
