A post for Stasiu

Dear Stas,
We all wanted you to see the train we had running first on our dining room table, but eventually underneath the Christmas tree. We thought of you every time we heard it Choo-Choo. Play the video to see the train. You may need to turn your head sideways.
We love you. Uncle Tim, Mimi, and Isaac.

First Christmas and a lot more

The past 20 days have been too full to mention, so we have a lot of catching up to do. The first snow of the season came early in December. It was a light snow, but it made our new home look beautiful.
Next, we had a visit from Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Jim.

Then we had a visit from Nana. Isaac and Nana fixed the broken vacuum! YEAH!

Isaac likes to make funny faces at the camera, but otherwise a good photo. Merry Christmas!

Here is a picture of Tim and Isaac in Tim's new home office that he got for Christmas!

Another funny face by Isaac.

Relaxing with Dad.

Kisses for mom at the Waffle House, our traditional Christmas morning restaurant of choice. Everybody wore their flannel shirts for our first Christmas together!

Enjoying the new book Tim got for Christmas.

We hope everyone had a beautiful time with their families. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Decorating

Isaac helped me decorate the Christmas tree today with gold beads. We had fun playing with them.

Visit from the Crain's

Jody and Barbara Crain came for a visit and Isaac couldn't get enough of them.

First Christmas Outfit

Isaac's first Christmas outfit from Grandma Linda is sized for a 12-month old, but seems to fit him, at 9 months, just fine. He is playing with a toy his daddy got him on a work trip to Florida.

First Pony Ride at Old Mine Ranch!

Isaac had his first pony ride and hay ride today at Old Mine Ranch. He also liked to watch the pigs, goats, and horses!
