First Bath

Not sure about this...

Still not sure.

OK, I HATE this.

Maybe baths aren't all bad.

A quiet moment with big brother completes the experience.

My New Baby Brother

I love my new baby brother, J.P. I am always trying to burp, hold, play with him and change his diaper. Here I snuck in a few kisses while Mommy had her camera out!

Pretty as a Princess

Carla looks as pretty as a princess in her new Christmas dress from her Grandma Perry in San Diego.

Trying to get a four and two-year old to sit still for a picture at 6 p.m. when they're all dressed up is like herding cats.

We did our best.

Christmas morning in front of the tree.

 It's so unseasonably warm here in Omaha that the kids played outside on December 29 for an hour AND the grass was green.

Merry Christmas!

Here are some pictures of our recent trip to the Lauritzen Gardens where we got to see lots of poinsettias, christmas trees and trains running throughout the display. We're also happy with all of the beautiful Christmas outfits family members are sending our way. Mom says she's going to do her best to get us in all of them before Christmas.

Happy Birthday Perry!

Mommy, Carla and Perry with the pumpkins we carved.

Daddy's behind the camera and Uncle Joseph hasn't gotten here quite yet as we put the pumpkins outside on the porch for the first time.

Our pumpkins!

Perry's cake. Can you tell he loves Buzz Lightyear???
