Anders and his guitar

Our little guitar playing man....I love you always.  My sweet boy!

Tuckered Out

 

Some days Adeline fights taking a nap...on those days you may find her asleep like this, where in the midst of of it all her eyelids become just too heavy to keep open.

My Sweet Adeline

My baby girl is now 16 months-old.  I can't believe it!  She is growing and changing so fast.  She is a busy little girl who loves to give big open mouth kisses, read books, love on her baby doll and at the same time charge after her brother and race cars.  She recently had her 15 month well visit (I'm a little behind in blogging) where she weighed 18lbs 10oz (<3%), measured 31in height (75%), and her head was 18in around (55%).  She is our little peanut, who according to her teachers at Sonshine School, she is "small but mighty"- true description.  She is our "sweet Adeline"....one of my patients recently showed me some great videos with the barbershop song "Sweet Adeline"(here is one of them).  So fun!  We love our little girl.

Merry Christmas 2011

Christmas is such a beautiful time of year!  I love to look at all the christmas lights.  Being in Texas we rarely have a white snowy Christmas....so instead we hang white lights.  Jeff did a great job with the lights this year.

This year was especially fun with Anders being at the age where there is such excitement opening gifts and celebrating birthdays.

Here are the grandchildren blowing out candles and singing Happy Birthday Jesus.  Anders can't wait until the next birthday and will often ask, "whose birthday is next?".

Grandpa Larson has a the gift of story telling.  He kept all the kids attention telling stories, while there dinner preparations were being made.

 Abby and Adeline, who are just 6 weeks apart, were all dressed up!  So cute.

 Our attempt for a family christmas photo......the majority were like the later.

The Monday after christmas we all hit the ice and went ice-skating.  Anders still talks about it and loves to watch this video over and over.  Adeline cheered everyone on from the sidelines.
