Baby's First Christmas...

Merry Christmas everyone! Santa came to see me last night! He brought me a Little Touch Leap Pad just like I wanted!

I hope everyone else had a great Christmas.

Love,
Baby Will

Vomit free since '93...

Well at least Ted Mosby has been vomit free since '93. However, I have been vomit free since only 8:00 AM...11:30 AM...8:00 PM

I hate being sick!

Me and My Horse...

Giddy' Up!

And to Love I rhapsodize ...

The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat that’s in the sun
Will keep us when there’s none
The rule has been disproved
The stone it has been moved
The grave is now a groove
All debts are removed

Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
What it’s done to me?

The rest of the lyrics are here.

This is U2's newest single, Window in the Skies. It is yet another awesome song sung to "Love," the very love that saw the stone moved away, the grave emptied, and our sins atoned...

Yes Bono, We can see what Love has done to you...

But the real question is can the world see what Love has done to us?


John 13:35

I've been a very good boy...

Will got a visit from Ol' Saint Nick tonight at church. Will was very excited to see the jolly old man. In fact, he was so happy that he just had to stick his tongue out!

I can't wait until you visit me again in a couple of weeks Santa!

Will as Han Solo...

It has been kinda cold this last couple of days. Tonight, as I put will in his car seat, I had an immediate flashback to when I was a kid. On my fourth birthday, I had a Star Wars birthday cake. On it was a "Han Solo in Hoth Gear" action figure. The way Will is dressed in this picture looks alot like that action figure. So enjoy Will playing the role of Han Solo on the planet Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back.

cuddling with mommy...

I've had a big day with Daddy today! It was Championship Saturday in college football. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets lost today. How sad... But here is the good news: Reggie Ball only has one more game! Also, UCLA beat USC; Florida beat Arkansas; and the Huskers are battling the Sooners.

Anyway, I'm all tuckered out and it is only half time. Have a good night everyone...

GO BIG RED!

Snow Days...

We've had snow days here in DFW for the last two days. On Wednesday it was 79 degrees, but shortly after sundown and "Arctic Blast" occurred. Within an hour the temperature dropped some 45 degrees! It really did get really cold really fast. Nevertheless, we also ended up getting some rain then sleet then freezing rain then snow.

Having spent a winter in Nebraska, I know that wintry weather is not really as bad as people expect. And given the amount of snow and ice visible in the above photo, you may wonder as to why we got out of not just one day, but two days of school...
1. This is north Texas...
2. People don't know how to drive in wintry weather...
3. There are a lot of interstates around here...
4. These interstates have large elevated bridges that become treacherous rather quickly...
5. See #2... (rinse and repeat)

Anyway, I'm hoping for a few more good ice storms this winter. :o)

(BTW, you can check out my posts about the ice storm from this time last year here, or by just clicking on the label below called weather.)

Will's new trick...

Here...

comes...

my...

tongue!

Will has learned how to stick out his tongue! It is really quite cute. He can really get it out there.

More Thanksgiving Pictures...

Thanksgiving in Georgia...

Mema, Will and Kellie.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hop on Pop...

I like to Hop on Pop!

Leavin' on a Jet Plane...

This is Valerie and Will having a little snack before getting on the airplane. We had to remove even little Will's little shoes when going through security. You can see the security station in the background. This is Will's first airplane ride.

Georgia, here we come!

The sweet smell of Christmas...

Here is a picture of Daddy and I reading books. Daddy is reading me one of his most favorite books from when he was a little boy. This book has little stickers that you can scratch and sniff. This way we can smell the sweet smells of Christmas.

Is it naptime?...

We had two little people that had very little interest in taking their naps!

Perhaps this is why?...

Visit from the St.Clairs...

Michelle, Tracy, and Sierra came to visit us this weekend. They brought Will a couple pieces of much needed Husker gear. Here is a picture of Will and Sierra modeling his new jersey. Thank you Aunt Michelle! Now, I can cheer for the Huskers on Friday in Georgia in style!

Here is Will and Sierra, two cute cousins.

Here is Aunt Michelle and Uncle Tracy feeding Will a bottle.

um, yum?...

Will had his first bit of rice cereal tonight. He is not exactly sure about it at the moment.

dancin' machine...

Will is borrowing this elaborate contraption from our friends, the Gaiges. Will really enjoys sitting up and playing with this toy. This thing has piano keys for Will's hands and his feet. Both sets of keys play notes. It won't be long until Will will be playing us songs!

Caption Contest...

I'll be taking some caption suggestions for this photograph. I've already come up with a few. Here they are:

a) Will Skywalker, the little Jedi, surprised to hear that I'm his Father!

b) Gandalf Will, the Blue...

Happy Reformation Day, and perhaps you are too old to go trick or treating...

Happy Reformation Day. 489 years ago Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenburg Chapel. His attack on the practice of and selling of indulgences and later refusal to recant opened the door for the Reformation of the church. So, here's to you Dr. Luther: thank you for bringing back the doctrine of justification by faith.

On other news, the rest of the world celebrates this day as Halloween. As most know, the traditional means of celebration includes silly disguises and going "trick-or-treating." All of this is well and good in its own respects, but for goodness sakes; if you are a teenager, then you are too old to be knocking on someone's door looking for free candy! Leave the festivities to the kids.

ahh...

I've learned how to stick out my tongue at Daddy!

Roaring Tigers...

I'm gonna eat you...

No, I'm gonna eat you!...

Roar!

I love my Daddy...

I love my Daddy a lot. He makes me smile.

Bottle time...

Thank you for the help...

But I don't really need it!...

And now, Good Night!

Mommy's New Clothes...

Here's a picture of the outfit I bought at Kohl's with Mema and Michelle's birthday gift cards. Kohl's is my new favorite place to buy clothes:-) I bought a blue-tooth earpiece with mom and grandma's birthday cash. We're in the process of trying to get it in working order. After several minutes of phone conversation with motorola we decided it was the cell phones fault that the earpiece was not working. They are sending us a new phone. We'll see if it works then. I sure hope so:-) Thank you to everyone who sent gifts, cards, and e-mails for my birthday!

Not so close Daddy...

Computer woes: I was dead, but now I live...

I had a scare with my desktop computer this week. I went to reboot it and it would not restart. My friend Glendon helped me out and got me going again.

Growing, Growing, Great Big...

Here is some pictures of Will over the last 3 months!

Happy 3 Month Birthday Little Boy!

We love you! Mommy and Daddy

Happy Anniversary...

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary Mema and Pop! We love you! We miss you! We will see you at Thanksgiving.

Thank you for loving each other with a love that endures.

The binky or the thumb...

I've recently discovered that my thumb works just as well as my binky.

ready to roll out...

Mommy and I are ready to go out. Actually we were going out to help Daddy do the laundry.

goin' to church...

Mommy and I are looking good. We are walking out the door on our way to church.

Circle Time

This is our circle time area. The children sit on one of the music instruments. On the bulletin board there are body scale pictures to represent Do, Re, Me, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do.

Music Room Dramatic Play Center

I have completed my first week of music classes at work. I think the children all enjoyed it very much and my boss is very excited also. She said that one of the early childhood professors wanted me to do a demonstration for her music/art/drama class this summer. These two pictures are pictures of my dramatic play center. We used it this week for moving with streamers and scarves.
