Hockey Game

Let's Go Blues!

Alex & Thomas were playing fork guitars!






Tonight we headed to St. Louis to watch a Blues game in the Pepsi suite.  Papa and Nana invited us, as well as Uncle Thomas, Gabbi, & Thomas.  Aunt Amy had a party to go to.  Alex really enjoyed himself and Amelia didn't have a clue what was going on.  We had lots of fun and Alex keeps asking to go back.  Thanks to Chuck Amburg of Pepsi for giving us the tickets.  We hope to go back again!

I'm sad to report that I've not felt great the last few days so I headed to the Dr. today.  He gave me some meds but told me to wait a few days to see if I feel better.  To heck with that. . .  I'm filling the script and going to start feeling better.  Being sick is no way to ring in the new year!  At least I held out until the rest of my family started feeling better.

She Works Hard for Her Money





After our 7 month photo shoot Amelia decided to try to send out a couple photos via her new laptop, but it wasn't staying connected to the internet.  I told her I'd take care of it for her and she proceeded to snuggle with her Pup and pass out for the night.  Being such a beautiful baby is such hard work!  Love you Pris!!

7 Months Old








Amelia it seems like you have grown so much in the last month.  You are becoming quite mobile these days.  You are just beginning to get up on your legs trying to figure out how to crawl, but you can spin some crazy circles and push yourself backwards until you get stuck up against a wall or under the couch.  You are an eating machine, so much that you still wake up in the night to eat.   It's frustrating, but I know you'll figure it out eventually.

The last few days you have begun to start waving and you have started saying Mom and Dad.  You are still my girl and will choose me over anybody.  I'm the best in your little eyes, what can I say!!!  Your hair is really starting to grow and your eyes continue to become darker brown.  You are a happy baby almost all the time, especially if someone is paying attention to you.

You are a little drool box and can do some serious biting with those two bottom teeth.  The last few days you have shown interest in what we are eating, so we've giving you some Gerber puffs and you are quickly getting the hang of chewing.  You are mimicking our mouth movements and sound, and have begun to respond to your name.  I can't believe what a beautiful little girl you.  You've truly blessed our lives Pristina!!!

Today we spent the day at Grandma & Grandpa Kershaw's house celebrating Chirstmas with this side of the family.  We started with our traditional yummy breakfast and then started opening presents.  It was quite a long process, as the kids just wanted to play and not focus on opening presents.  Regardless, the gifts were eventually opened and again we came home with tons of stuff!!  More tools and books, Dr's kit, a train, crayons, clothes, grocery cart and food, a shape sorter, a baby doll, and Tickle Me Ernie.  Wow!  These little ones are spoiled and very much loved.

We spent the afternoon lounging, watching movies, and snacking.  Then everyone came to our house for a sleepover.  We went to lunch the next day and then everyone went home.  What a busy few days!!  Also a special thanks to Aunt Ashley for sharing some of her pictures with us.

Go Bears!




We ordered Alex a Bears jersey for Christmas, but it hadn't come before we left for Nana & Papa's house, but it was there when we got back Christmas night.  He was excited to have a shirt like Daddy's and a hat too.  The Bears played tonight, so it worked out perfectly other than the fact that they lost!  Amelia even busted out some of her Bears gear!

Grandma & Papa Kershaw stopped by to see what Santa had brought for the kids.  We'll see them again tomorrow when we celebrate Christmas at their house.
