Leland: Why would you assume we'd post pictures of anything else?

Linsey took some photos of Leland today. I liked this one a lot.

By the way, the doctor said Leland's head is 17 inches in diameter. "Big," the doctor said, "but not off-the-charts big."

One day, Linsey let me watch Leland. This is what happened.

Thanksgiving Plus

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving.

A random night before thanksgiving. Stephen got home from work just before Leland's bedtime so he could kiss her good night.

Leland and I at my parents house on Thanksgiving.

Stephen learned how to carve the turkey and he was very impressed with the electric knife.

Leland watches football with grandpa and dad.

Four generation picture

December 4th Leland Stephen and I went to the light parade downtown Trenton, which went right by our apartment.

It was fun because everyone watching the parade had these candles.

We did go to the Tait's over Thanksgiving but I neglected to take a single photo. Sorry Taits. I'll make it up tomorrow when we travel there just for the heck of it.

Leland is Three Months

Leland turned three months old on Friday. Time is flying. She is sleeping through the night which is wonderful! I put her to bed at 7 (we have a pretty particular bed time ritual that works like a charm) and she wakes up between 5:30 and 6:30. She takes pretty good naps and is a really good eater. She giggles a lot and looooves her daddy! For the most part she is one happy baby!

We are all settled in to our new place and really looking forward to the holidays!

November

Here are some recent pics.

This is from earlier today, just playing around with Stephen and I.

We live near a great park. We took a nice long walk in the fog yesterday morning. Here are some pics from that.

Be careful when eating fish out of the Detroit river.

Veterans Day

Many of the people I love most in the world have served in the U.S. Military: my dad, my brothers, my grandpas, my uncles and others.

The picture above happened because of the military.

Thank you for serving.

An Update

Hello strangers. Things are finally starting to settle down a little bit... just in time for things to get crazy again before the holidays. Anyway, we are all getting settled into our new place. Stephen has been working a lot. Right after he started the plant began a refueling outage, so he has been very busy. Leland and I are adjusting to life in our new neighborhood. The weather has been beautiful and we've been taking lots of walks. I'll be sure to bring my camera with me on one soon. Here are some recent pictures of what has been happening.

Leland at 2 months.
