Oh the sweet sound of laughter

This is the first time that Gage has laughed for us and I don't know who was laughing harder, me or Gage.

Make sure your speakers are on.

Merry Christmas - 2008

Wow, what a Christmas! We had an amazing day and I'm sure that Gage had a blast.

Wednesday Gage spent some time with me at work before we headed off to Christmas eve service at church. Then Christmas morning we got up, had breakfast and then opened our presents. Then it was off to Grandma Gore's for lunch and presents. As always we had a great time!

Catching up

I am so sorry. It's been awhile since my last post. Let's see where to begin.

As of Dec 1, I started back at work and Gage started daycare. Both are going well. They love Gage at daycare and are always gushing about how he is such a good baby. Makes me smile everytime. We've been trying to get into a good routine and we are almost there.

We've been getting ready for Christmas this coming Thursday. I just made our traditional Chex Mix (3 batches for work, home, and Mom's house) and a new goody for me, cinnamon glazed pecans. They are so yummy.

All of the presents have been purchased and are now wrapped and under the tree, just waiting to be opened Thursday morning. We will be going to Christmas Eve services at church Wednesday night with mom, get up Thursday morning to open our presents, get ready and then head to my Mom's for Christmas there.

I hope to take lots of pictures (fingers crossed) to share with you all. But in the meantime here are some form the past few weeks.

Rolling update

A couple of days ago we posted about Gage trying to roll over. Last night was the night!! Kelly and I were both watching him try to get over and then all of the sudden.......

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree.......

For the first time in a very long time we got our tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving (we were still too stuffed on Friday).

Here are some pictures from this weekend.
