Full of Kisses

Meadow continues to be particularly fond of Parker. She discovered his ears this week and she clearly thinks they're fun to nibble on.

This handsome boy is getting a haircut today (hopefully). He looks so grown up doesn't he?

Nice January Day

Ok, so it's not so nice yet - a little dreary and around 60 degrees but not bad for January. It will get up to 70 today so it should be a great day to be outside. Here are some shots of two of my girls :) 

Meadow has grown a little bit and her color seems to be changing - she's getting lighter. Her daddy's color is champagne which is sort of silvery so I'm guessing she's going to look more like him eventually.

A Sweet New Face

We added to our brood today - meet our new goldendoodle, Meadow. We were planning to pick her up this weekend but I decided to take the day off of work and go get her today as a surprise for the kids (and so they didn't have to endure the car ride to Abilene). Meadow sat on my lap the whole way home. 

She and Bella hit it off immediately.

Getting to know Parker

I can tell these two are going to have so much fun together!

Since she was born in November, she hasn't spent any time outside yet. It was a gorgeous day today so we let her explore her new back yard a bit. She's very interested in the pool. I'm pretty sure she'll be swimming with the kids this summer!

Bella better enjoy being eye to eye - Meadow should grow to about 35 pounds so they won't be equally sized for long!

Nebraska Christmas

Christmas isn't complete without family. We were so happy to spend a few days in Nebraska with Grandma, Grandpa, G, R, E & A!

So, Parker definitely inherited his love of chocolate from me. From his dad, I guess he got the photobomb!

Cute hat from L, B,  C & C!

Presents

And more presents!

Love this girl and her love of shoes. And I super love buying her shoes

And I love these funny faces!

Who needs a nice picture anyway? These are way more fun :)

Christmas at Home

This Christmas was the first that we spent as a single-family unit. Ray didn't want to leave on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day or for the kids to not be in their house on Christmas. We spent the holiday together and relaxed prior to heading to Nebraska to see the rest of the family!

Parker was thrilled to get his monster truck!

Chloe was pretty excited about Barbie, Princess and the Popstar but oddly, we have yet to watch it??

These presents are special - they are from Auntie Erin and Uncle Tim!
