Christmas!!

Our New Art Easel!

Thank you Grandpa Rich and Grandma Brenda! We love our new easel!

Harland had to straight away start painting.

We are now out of paints. No joke.

Christmas Eve

We opened one special present from Grandma Pat. "I know this! I've been wanting one of these!" Emerson screamed.

And Harland began to pontificate on how his was different and Emerson could NOT touch it.

Thanks for the Oranges, Grandpa Rich!

Sis P (and everyone else) loves them!!!

Why It's Great To Be a Baby:

You can fall asleep anywhere, in any position!

The Family Photo, Nov. 2009

Graciously taken by Mike Carmine. I don't think we've ever had someone photograph us in a professional manner. You can tell we're not used to it.....

The Aviary

Isaac, Harland and Michelle

Mom's favorite "pigeon"

The classic sibling picture: is Emerson lurking with malicious thoughts or watching over her? We may never know....

And the rarest photo of all: Emerson with a genuine smile.

Thanksgiving Pictures!
