It's a Wonderful Life

One of our all-time favorite Christmas movies, and it certainly does apply to our life- so wonderful!  2010 was an amazing year for our new little family.  I'm sitting here reflecting on the year, especially the past 13 weeks, feeling especially lucky and blessed.  I returned to work last Monday. Sigh. If was tough to leave Simon, but we made it through the first week. We have a wonderful sitter and know he's in great hands while he's there.  Just like a good boy, Simon started sleeping through the night just in time, too! We're certainly enjoying our weekend... catching up on some rest and getting ready to do it all over again next week!  The 3 of us have had an amazing 13 weeks, and here a few pictures of Simon's first Christmas season.  
Simon meets Santa! He slept through it!


 Ladies Man! All dressed up for church on Christmas Eve.

The next few are of our Christmas Eve Dinner. Dave and I started a tradition a few years ago of making fancy, yummy recipes that we've never tried before! Soon Simon will be helping us. Dessert was my favorite!!! 








 We still love our animals!

 Sock monkey slippers! Thank you Santa!

 Christmas morning... presents from Auntie!

 Piano from Grandma Laurene.

 Chillin' at Grandma Hilda's on Christmas day.

 Simon's first swim!

Might not look like it, but he loved it!  

All wrapped up.

 Hanging with the Obermeyers in Batesville, IN.  Simon met his new buddy, Van!

Getting so good at "tummy time"


 All bundled up for a winter walk!


Our little gangsta g, ready for NYE!


Lots of love to everyone,
D,J, and S
