Christmas by The Bay...

Yesterday, Alex, Erica, Carson, and I went to The City to get a little "Holiday Spirit." We walked around in Union Square, where the huge Macy's tree is located. There were a LOT of people there, but we had a good time!

The Holidays Have Arrived!

Happy Holidays! Since my last post, we have been busy! Alex has started to eat "solid" foods once a day, which is a fun (and messy) event. The three of us travelled to Kansas for Thanksgiving and were able to visit with family. Alex was fantastic on all of the flights! In Kansas City, we saw The Peoples family, Whit and Kirk, and Mark and Sheryl. Then at Grandma Jeanne's house in Manhattan, we were able to see Jessica and Ryan and some of The Becks. We travelled a lot in the four days, but we had a wonderful time!

SIX MONTHS OLD TODAY!

Happy Half-Birthday, Alex! Wow! Six months- I can't believe it!

(This is a really "smile-y" picture that I took this weekend and it's too cute to not be posted! :)

Halloween Treat!

Last week, for Halloween, we took some really cute pictures of Alex! Thank you, Laura and Pat, Grandma Jeanne, Eileen, and Judy for all of the cute Halloween clothes and gifts! BTW, can you believe Alex is almost SIX MONTHS old?!

5 months old! Already!

Monday was the 15th of October, so that makes the A-man FIVE months old! Wow! Here is a cute picture of him from that afternoon.

New Sleeping Quarters

Last night, Erica put together the Small Fry's crib! He slept like a champ in it and we are hoping that this will continue! Thanks, Tab and Colleen, for loaning it to us! Here's a picture of him in there this morning playing with his feet.

The last two weekends

Last weekend, we took Alex to Kansas for his first visit there. We had a really nice weekend and were able to see a lot of family and friends! Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Chuck gave Andy and I some time to relax a little, which we really appreciated. Alex saw Great-Grandma Jeanne in Lawrence and he also met Uncle Kirk and Aunt Bridget! Uncle Mike and Aunt Stacy joined us for dinner on Friday night, so he was able to see them for the first time, too! This past weekend, Mike and Allison came out to CA to visit. We were busy and had a really good time together! Here are some pictures of the two weekends: Alex learning about the joy of eating at JOSE PEPPER'S :) and Alex with Mike at The Boardwalk.
