Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wow, what a holiday season we have had! I can’t believe its New Year’s Day already.

This is the first Christmas we’ve not gone home because Parker was just a little too small for us to be comfortable with the flight. We really missed the ones we couldn’t be with but we did have a lot of the family out and that made it seem a little more like Christmas. Since Brooke and I fly every year at this time, we know what a pain it can be so we thank everyone who made the trip.

Too much has gone on and too many pictures have been taken to go into detail. So I’ll just post some of the good ones below without comment and in no particular order. If anyone has some other good shots, email them to me and I’ll post them later.

Thanks again to everyone and we look forward to seeing those we missed next time we’re home. Hopefully in early spring.

Merry Christmas and have a safe and happy New Year!

2 Months Old Today!

Well actually he was 8 weeks this past Tuesday but today is the 9th so we’re calling it his 2-month birthday. He is starting to legitimately smile now. It’s not just gas anymore. Here’s a big smile this morning:


And I got some on video as well:


He’s also getting more coordinated with his hands. Here are a few shots of him holding a toy. Notice he uses both hands; amphibious.



We still have tummy time everyday:



And we’re looking forward to Granddaddy Moody arriving this Wednesday.

Parker can hardly wait:

Long Time, No Blog...

We’ve been so busy after Thanksgiving that I haven’t had time to get a post up. Parker’s doing great but he is a little high maintenance right now. It seems like he doesn’t know what to do with himself when he’s awake. So Brooke basically has to give him undivided attention all day and I take him as soon as I get home. It’s usually 7 or 8 pm before I can sit down and look at work or anything else for that matter.

But he’s so darn cute I don’t care.



We did find time to go Christmas tree hunting.

Here he is with Mommy.

And here he is with Daddy beside the tree we finally settled on.


Cousin Page came into town this week and got to see Parker for the first time. We had a great time with her as always.


I think she liked him.


We went to visit or injured friend Aunt Selisa this weekend. She’s bedridden after a terrible tennis accident but she and Parker were still able to cheer the Chargers onto victory over division rivals the KC Chiefs.

Go Chargers!



Here are a few more random pictures and be sure to check the new video on youtube.






We can’t wait for everyone to get here for Christmas and keep the comments coming. I'll try not to be so long between posts next time.
