I can hardly believe Christmas is behind us, and 2008 is right around the corner.
The last few weeks of December were a whirlwind, but we had a fabulous Christmas.

Loads of pictures to follow
Baby Girl is starting to crawl



We got our first real snow storm



Gingerbread House fun





more torturing the baby girl



and Santa dropped quite the load under our tree



Daddy has been off all week, so it's been nice to relax and enjoy the downtime with him home.

And lastly, I decided to finally take the plunge into turning the photography obsession into a little business. Thanks to everyone who has been such an encouragement that I can, and should, pursue this!

Best wishes for a wonderful 2008!

one happy 10 year old boy

Billy turned 10 on Thursday. Double Digits. A Big Deal.
He'd been asking for an iPod. Sneaky me kept telling him I wasn't sure he was old enough. They are too easy to lose. All the while snagging a good deal at the Apple store on a refurbished old generation nano.
The look on his face was absolutely priceless as he opened it up, it took him a few seconds to realize what he actually had in his hands, but then once he realized, he couldn't contain himself! Even Thomas got super excited. Either just because Billy was so excited. Or he was cracking up that Billy didn't even get so much as a TOY.








and just for fun, sophieroy was here:

Santa came early!

My husband is, once again, much too good to me!
I've been feeling the need to upgrade my camera and when the latest model of Nikon came out, he was more than willing to indulge me! So I'm the proud new owner of the Nikon D300
Here are my first shots with the new camera of my only willing subject (though the older boys promised they would let me practice on them tomorrow. we'll see!)
