Baby Henry!!

The best Christmas present I got this year was meeting my first and favorite nephew, Henry Quinn Wiser.  He's such a good baby and so stinkin' cute!!  Andy and Joanna make perfect parents, as we knew they would, and we are so happy for their new addition to the family!!!

Henry and Grandpa Mark.

Lil H and Grandma Dawn.

How many Grandmas does it take to change a diaper? All of them!!

I forgot how little newborns are, and he's already 6 weeks old!

Welcome to the crazy family Henry!!

Let it snow!!

The weather report was not wrong this time!!  We have about 24" of fresh snow now and it doesn't look like it will slow down any time soon.  We took Paul out for his first snow experience and he wasn't a huge fan.  He couldn't walk in his snow boots and kind of froze once he got in the snow.  It was a lot of fun for us though! 

Earlier this morning.

Getting deeper.

Ready for a snow day.

Bundled up with Daddy.

A visit from Joe, Jill and Colin

We were so lucky to have a houseful of guests for a few days!  Jill provided mom back-up support, Joe coooked some delicious meals, and Colin is getting "SO BIG!"  We loved having them visit and miss them already.  Maybe someday we'll visit them in their new home in Athens, GA.  Ok, maybe we'll continue to try to convince them that WA is where it's at...

The boys enjoyed a fun-time bath together!

New York, NY!!!

Matt and I headed north this weekend for my company Christmas Party in New Jersey.  Grandma Dawn came out to watch Paul so we could really get away.  We decided to make a whole weekend of it and do Christmas in New York too!  It was great to see all the decorations and crazy Christmas crowds, but our 4 hour trip was enough to remind us why we like to avoid the cities.  It was a great mini-vacation and Matt and I are so grateful for Grandma Dawn making it possible!

And I chose the black dress after all!  Turns out it hides lumps and bumps MUCH better than the blue dress.  Thanks for all your opinions!!

Matt tucked me into bed at 10:30 pm and headed back to the party until 2 am.  I thoroughly enjoyed my fancy deserts, king sized bed, and late night TV.  Having kids really makes you enjoy a little alone time.  Matt enjoyed plenty of adult beverages and many requests from past co-workers and bosses to return to Bohler.  Even the Regional Manager's wife said she'd be scoring big points if she convinced Matt to come back!!

December!!!

I don't have much to say.  We had a great Turkey Day in Rhode Island, but we forgot to take many pictures.  A HUGE thanks to Mike and Beth for hosting us! We had so much fun!!!  Here's some pics for your enjoyment.
