Jazelle Loves to Play

Although she is still not walking she loves to play. She half walks half crawls on her knees.

February 21st Jazelle turns 1

Jazelle's 1st birthday was February 21st. It is hard to believe. Appropriately we headed north by way of the George Washington Parkway just like we did one year ago. We had a great party at Auntie Becky's with all of Jazelle's "Main" cousins. Auntie Stephie and Pappap made the trip as well. This is a picture of Jazelle's new pony Scootaloo. They both crawl. The cake was made by Auntie Becky for the princess.

Basketball break

Guess who broke his leg, dislocated his foot. Jay was playing some serious Coast Guard basketball and he left in an ambulance. He has been home since. A month ago today.

Pirate Pancakes

Xavier's friend and classmate had a pirate inspired birthday party. Argh. The next morning we made Chocolate chip pancakes for Jay and Zelly in our pirate garb. FUN

Xavier's Birthday

Happy 3rd Birthday Xavier

We had a fun birthday for Xavier on Saturday. Auntie Steph came down from Connecticut. Pappap came up from North Carolina. Auntie Becky, Uncle Jeff, Joe, Emily, Kelly and Alex came down from Maryland. Auntie Erica, Uncle Brandon, and Emily came up from Chesapeake. Xavier asked to invite friends. We were happy to have Aidan from school and Mariette from the neighborhood.

Good times.

Christmas 2008

Christmas this year we spent in Connecticut.

The children received way too many gifts. Thank you everyone. I have more pictures than things to say. I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a happy New Year ahead.

Thanksgiving in Maine

This year was our third year at my dad and Betty's for Thanksgiving. We put a different spin on it though. We usually drive up to Maine the morning of T-day to make it in time for dinner. After being exhausted from the trip we eat and lounge the rest of the day. This year we went up the week before. Great idea. We had so much fun with Dad and Betty and Gigi, Auntie Barb, Kaitlynn, and Rachel. Kaitlynn's boyfriend, John even got to come. Great time. Hopefully everyone makes it up next year.
