Hanging out over Christmas Break, Danny really likes these slippers.

Christmas Morning. The presents are all under the tree, or at least what is left of it.

Openning presents Christmas Morning.

Don't know why this picture is sideways.

Christmas Break

We caught Danny holding still long enough to take this picture, but that was it, he was off. Here's Pea Pod. I love this little outfit.

Off to more important things. The Christmas tree looks better on its side with all of the ornaments scattered all over the ground.

This is the gingerbread house Jason and I made (mostly Jason). It stayed intact for about a day... and then

Danny found it. He picked off all the Dots and ate them, tore off the trees and the gingerbread man. We could have stopped him, but we figured, hey, what is better than being a kid and pulling the candy off a gingerbread house. How fun is that?

Jocelyn Kathleen Follett

Our New Arrival
Jocelyn Kathleen Follett was born on Jason's Birthday, December 7th, at 6:10 PM. She weighed 7lbs 1 oz and she was 19" long. We came home from the hospital on Wednesday night after spending a lot of time under UV light to get rid of the jaundice she had. Jason and I have a 50/50 shot at having a boy or girl, but 100% chance of having Orange babies, so we get to stay at the hospital a little bit longer than Pink babies.

She is so little, it's hard to find clothes that she isn't swimming in, but I know in a few weeks she'll be in her clothes just fine.

Danny loves to play with Jocelyn (Baby Jo). He is always trying to get close to her, and so far he is pretty gentle, no harm yet.

Danny also likes to take the Christmas tree apart. We have ornaments all over the house, but he also likes to put other things on the tree, like String Cheese.

November

Future Beaver Believer. One minute he is happy, but at the thought of the Beavers losing... not so happy.

Tornado Dan strikes Ohio living room. Give him 2 minutes and this is what can happen!

Hanging out on Saturday morning. Winter is officially here.

Leaning in for a kiss.

New Sweater

I finally finished this little sweater for Danny. I thought he could wear it this fall and now that winter is almost here, I've got it done. I picked the green yarn back in the spring when he still had a bunch of red hair, It's mostly blonde now, but the green still works. He likes it too. He is very cooperative when we put it on him, messy face and all.

Jason and Danny built a fort out of the couch this weekend. Danny thought that was really fun.

Just hanging out.



Look Dad, we've both got funny hats on.

New Haircut

Jason cut Danny's hair the other day. It's very short. It's getting cold around here. Management still hasn't turned the heat on in our apartment, so we do run around in lots of clothes and jackets all day. Hopefully soon we'll get some heat on around here.
We went out to the playground today, Danny didn't fall off of anything, bonus.

Arizona

I went to see Andy and Tina the other weekend, we put Lincoln in the same Halloween costume Danny was in last Halloween. OK, Linc is two weeks younger than Danny this time last year (July 4th vs. July 19) and Linc is putting Danny to Shame. This kid is a tank. Danny was at about 13 lbs, vs. Linc's 17 lbs 3 oz. Cute little pumpkins aren't they?

Oktoberfest

Here are some shots and video from our Oktoberfest. We had some friends over for pretzels, Bratwurst's, beer and polka music. Danny was the star of the show. We had practiced earlier in the week, so he knew what to do.

Going to the Apple Farm

We took Danny out to the Apple Farm to pick some apples. It was a beautiful, fall day here, and there were lots of apples on the trees. We took him to the pumpkin patch, and then put him in a wagon and went out to the apple trees. He likes apples. From the farm, we could see clear to the lake.
