Joyeux Noël et tout ça!

Merry Christmas! I know that if I don't post today I won't get to it before Christmas comes. I hope that everyone gets what they hope for and gives more than they think that they are able.



All of our love

SANTA!!!

Every year we visit Santa and to this point, Rem has been pretty weirded out by him. This year, though, Rem wasn't quite as freaked out and panicked right before she was supposed to sit on his lap. As with most things, Ben didn't care either way, he was just content to get back into the warm car and go home.

Family Photo 2008

We decided that it was about time to have our family picture taken, especially with the holidays approaching. Who would we have do it besides our favorite photographer Natalie? The kids held up rather well and she did an amazing job as always. Follow this link to view her blog and some of her favorites from the shoot.

Gratitude 2008

Happy Thanksgiving one and all! I'm gonna list at least a few things that I'm most grateful:

A happy Benton who is a sweet baby brother

A wonderful Julia who is the most amazing companion and mother

A sweet Remlee who is a great big sister

3 years ago we were blessed to have our favorite quirky little girl join our family. Here are a "few" pix of her life. For the love, I wish that I could have gotten them in order.

Dramatic Rem and Crawling Ben

Rem has developed a real dramatic side and it's been really quite entertaining. I've picked a couple of pix that really show her "flare".

In other news, it's true! Benton is crawling - he just couldn't stand to roll around any more.

Park City, etc.

Every year we are able to spend a weekend in Park City with Julia's family. It is a chance for the girls to shop and the boys to go get some work done (if you call photographing source material for our paintings work). The weather was gorgeous and we were able to get some pictures of the family. I just love trying to get everyone together and smiling for a camera set on timer. I think that this one that i've posted is the most normal.

Rem is getting so excited to be Cinderlella for Halloween and has worn her dress daily and will most likely wear it for weeks afterwards.

Lastly - this morning Rem really wanted to help feed Benton. All that I can say is awesome.
