Merry Christmas!!!


Joey was a trooper during his first Christmas. He managed to overcome the flu (unfortunately Uncle Darren, and cousin Tony didn't fare so well), he went to church for the first time and sang along...during songs and prayer =). He went to the Aho's, the Aysta's, and the Thompson's. He received many fun new toys and tried some new foods. Mommy and Daddy got him this Thomas tunnel, and he thinks it's great! Happy New Year everyone!!

Christmas Eve

A typical picture of Joey, chewing on something that is not a baby toy and of course missing one sock!
Christmas Eve was at the Aho's. Grandma Nancy joined Joey in baby prison! This toy will come in handy when I have to go to the bathroom!

Our family...

Even Bentley and Winfrey got presents... They had a blast running at Grandma and Grandpa's.. (sorry about the snow everywhere Grandma)
The engaged couple! Look close you can see her super cool pearl ring! Welcome to the family Brian! Lindsey and Brian composed 3 songs for Joey and one for Derek and made a CD for Joey. They included "when you're old enough" and "Joey in the sauna". It is a priceless gift that will be cherished forever. Thanks so much you guys.

Grandma and Grandpa got Joey his first John Deere tractor! I'm sure he'll be pushing it around soon!

Happy 9 months Joey!

Joey is nine months old today! It's a big month.. He has been recovering well from his first case of the flu, his auntie Binzer became engaged, he is going to celebrate his first Christmas, and move in to 2008! Joey is crawling all over, eating more finger foods, harassing the dogs, and entertaining his family! Joey made the reindeer antlers at daycare. He is growing up way too fast!

It was the best of times.....

We went and stayed with erin, jeff, and celia this weekend. we had a very good time. joey and celia were so much fun to watch!!! celia was sharing her golf fish crackers with joey. trying to capture a picture of the 2 of these guys together is impossible, unless they are confined in their strollers or highchairs! it was a great weekend... until erin got the flu... =(




It was the worst of times....

..We hope ernie is feeling better after her flu bug...

The Nutcracker


We went to the 8th floor at Macy's where they had it decorated like the nutcracker. Joey was a little tired, but in awe of all the lights and music. Thanks Erin, Jeff and Celia!!!

Out to dinner

Celia can drink through a straw!!!

Joey's first christmas tree

We went shopping for our tree....
..in a blizzard! The tree managed to stay tied to the roof of the Explorer. We told the guy we didn't have far to go, and he said "Do you know how many times I've heard that?" As you can see it has been snowing like crazy all day long.


I think we're in trouble. I was unable to capture Joey facing the camera.. because he wouldn't! Too exciting!

6 teeth

i know you can't really see it, but joey has 4 teeth on top and 2 on the bottom.
