A couple of Glee moments

Both J & C's Christmas programs were a hoot... however, I pay the price for not being a gnarly mega-cam-tripod-outofmyway-front row mom and have shoddy video proof that we were there and that they sang, ages 4 and 10.5... this is the best of the bunch. Still hillarious. Also one of the only clips that C doesn't have his hands in his pants or finger up his nose. HA!

Leo closes down the year, 9 months old

Hard not to laugh, right?? I think Campbell just grew out of this shirt last week. Leo is huge.. and messy.. and boyish. Growls, thinks it's super funny when he belches and farts, and is into everything. He's a wild man. Pulls up and show-boats one-handed as he stands up.. ready to run any minute. grrreeat. ha! He is a total flirt and will lower his eyes and lean in for a smooch from mom (dad doesn't understand why he's not into his facial hair) or big sis. His laughter is one of the best sounds on earth.

Ho-ho-holiday happs

November 28, 8 months old

crawling quickly and eating everything in his path... Leo James was so jolly getting ready for his first Christmas... all the while fighting ear infections and any cold that can be found on the floor. 20lb of baby. oy!

Training wheels are OFF

video not my finest, but at least the moment was somewhat documented... and Justin's reluctance to let go.

And the holidays whirrred by...

Thanksgiving.. my first time hosting was a big success..
All in Civil War attire... poor Beavs.
Introducing baby Parker to the chaos:
Hazey looks bummed she didn't get the drumstick.

Fighting Irish

for a group of girls who had never played volleyball before.. and lost every game... they always ended the games in smiles.
