Christmas 2008

Dress-up, with and without jammies (and tap shoes), ha.

Alexis on Pat's new skateboard, quite an act.

So much to feel so thankful for -- what a really amazing and wonderful day.

Just recalling 3 years ago!

Three amazing years ago my three miracles patiently let me take this photo for Christmas -- what a lot has changed since '05. . .

Alexis' holiday presentation

Not sure WHY they all needed to wear the same handmade shirts (well, I do but I loved Alexis' dress!) . . . they sang "Lean on Me" and several great songs -- very grown-up for 3-5 year olds! [Alexis is the youngest (and tiniest) in her class.]

Lauren and Pat (bfriend)

Taken a few months ago when Lauren was down for a wedding but just tagged from Lauren's Facebook -- We feel really lucky that Pat loves coming to visit with Lauren often.

Thanksgiving '08

Not very exciting, but here we are!

Alexis' 3rd birthday

Such a beautiful time for us all, celebrating at home and at Alexis' class!

Halloween '08

Dylan is "in character" as a goth and Alexis is always in character as a fairy princess, he he.

My 2.5 year old

Princess dressup -- it has begun!

Easter with Alexis and Dylan (Lauren's asleep)

Alexis with her b'fast waffle.

New bunny and our late Easter (when Lauren came home)

Dylan's birtday--#11!

This week we've had soooo much rain and Alexis fell in love with the Hello Kitty umbrella that Lauren gave her a while back, of course along with her booooots.

Christmas morning, yipee!

Alexis told us this is how you look when you "say 'CHEESE'"!

Christmas dinner -- Alexis and Lauren serving salad.
