Caught up!

Disclaimer: Scroll all the way down for today's date to see all of the posts from the last week. (The posts are separated - but all under today's date.)

I know Mr. Dog - I can't believe they put Mr. Cat so close to you either.

Smiles on a Sunday morning!

Whew - that took awhile - but I'm caught up. Hopefully I won't get so far behind again! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Thanksgiving

This is what Saela was wearing on her first Thanksgiving - however I didn't snap a picture before she had a major blowout. (No worries - it's been washed.)

Needless to say, we have much to be thankful for this year. Our beautiful daughter turned three months old on Thanksgiving Day and we can no longer imagine life without her. We will always be thankful for all of the prayers that have been said for her in her short life. She continues to grow and change daily. It is amazing how her simple smile can melt your heart over and over again.

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and wish all a wonderful holiday season!

Love,
Steve, Brenna, Saela, Jax & Jilly

We are quite certain she could be the next Gerber Baby...(of course we may be a tad biased.)

(Don't Worry the Car was Parked)

Hey Dad - may I drive?

Vroom vroom...and away we go!

My New Hats...

I am not quite sure about this joker hat - Mom snuck in a picture while I was sleeping!

Meeting Family

Saela was fortunate to meet her Uncle David and Cousin Tessa at the beginning of last week. David is a Captain in the U.S. Army and was able to spend three days in Michigan during his two-week Thanksgiving leave. He is currently stationed in Afghanistan and has five months left of a one-year commitment. We are very grateful for the work that David does as well as the work of all of those who have dedicated their lives to the armed services. We thank you for the multitude of sacrifices you have made to protect our freedom.

Hey Everybody...

...my first pair of jeans!

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

Mommy has a Baaaaaaad Memory

I was doing some thinking...

and I realized that OOPS TODAY is Uncle Ben's 30th Birthday...

...you'll have to forgive Mom's memory - she's been a bit tired lately!
It sure made for a good giggle though!

Saela Speaks

I am quite a cutie.

I may be filling my pants right now.

I would like to express my concern over rising gas prices.

Why yes Jax...I do believe it is time for dinner.

Here I am practicing for the slot machines in Vegas.

...and now it is time for bed...goodnight all!

Holy Moly - Where Does Time Go?

First and foremost I would like to shout a Happy Birthday to my Uncle Ben who turns 30 today!

I'm not sure how many people still read this - but for those that do... Mom says sorry it has been so long since the last post. Time seems to be flying by these days - she can hardly believe it's already been a month since she returned to work

I am doing well - I weighed 12# at an appointment last Tuesday. New pictures will be forthcoming soon - our camera needed new batteries and now the new pictures won't load onto the site tonight - go figure.

We are looking forward to a few days off next week to see Dad's brother, David, who is back from Afghanistan for a two-week leave and to celebrate Thanksgiving. This will be the first chance I have to meet my Uncle Dave and Cousin Tessa and I am very excited. Dad actually has a week and a half off as he will be leaving for deer hunting on Wednesday. Wish him luck... (although I think Mom might not be too upset if he didn't get one - apparently she had a bad experience while she was pregnant with me - something about deer soup - but we won't go there.)

We will then be spending Thanksgiving Day at Grandpa and Grandma Green's house and we sure have a lot to be thankful for this year. Well, Mom says it's time for me to get to bed. Last Thursday night, I actually slept FIVE hours in a row and we are all hoping for a repeat performance soon!

Goodnight all -

Love,
Saela C.

Gotta love the BIG SMILE

Saela was smiling up a storm for her Grandma today!

My First Halloween

Mom said she would enjoy the candy for me!
