My Favorite Day

My favorite day so far has been December 13th, 2009.....It was a Sunday and Daddy was home on dinner break. We were hanging out in Blake's room and this is what happened.....

Christmas Card Photos

When December rolled around we wanted to take our first family photo as our Christmas cards....

After this photo, we knew it wouldn't be easy.....moments later Oliver disappeared and Boomer fell off the ottoman we were sitting on. His poor legs don't work the way the used to. So we tried something else.


But Todd wanted just the Christmas tree behind us....we didn't fit at any angle.
So I took to photoshop....

One Sunday

One Sunday in November Blake and I laid down for an afternoon nap....Oliver was there too under the covers....Todd took this picture



Of course I didn't like how I looked so I fixed that........




Is this the sweetest photo?

Baptism Day

On September 27, 2009 Blake was baptized...His God parents are Uncle Scott and Aunt Dawn.....
Here are some pictures from that special day.








Here's a clip of video from the service......

Getting Ready For Baptism

By September Blake's Baptism had been scheduled. We found an outfit. So I attempted to make photos for a Baptism Keepsake.....Here are some of those photos....

As August Ended

As August ended we were overjoyed at Blake's accomplishments. He's a sweet sweet baby and very easy to love......

By August 31st Blake weighed 7lbs 11oz....At the beginning of the month he was 4lbs 14oz....Almost 3lbs heavier!!! Yeah!

Also during the month he had laughed at Daddy and slept through the night....We're tickled at his progress....

Fabulous Videos

Ok so we have fabulous video to share, but there's so much it's hard to decide which to share first.....
Here's Mr Sleepyhead and Daddy trying to get him to do his famous "oh" face.....


We have two Pugs....Boomer is 12 years old and Oliver is 1 year old. From the day we brought Blake home Boomer instantly loved him. Oliver competes for my attention.

The Early Days

Born at 5 pounds 12 oz he was so tiny and skinny. That would change. Here's a few pictures of "Skinny Blake".
