Well... Not quite - we did travel to Las Vegas to join my Brother on his 30th birthday - however vegas WITH a Baby makes VEGAS BABY!! a little bit different - here are some pics - you'll notice no nighttime strip-photos - the 7 PM Bedtime will do that to you -

At the airport - are we going for a weekend or for a month?

Caleb - Update

2008-03-17T16:45:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, I heard through the grapevine that the blog looks like the old adage - you'll take a million pictures of your first, but try to strap together a photo album of your second!!! -

We actually have a lot of pictures of Caleb - just haven't been sharing to quite the same degree - here are some updates - I promise to post more!

Caleb Update

2008-03-15T18:14:00.001-07:00

Looking through the Blog - it seems a lot of space is dedicated to JR - here's a video of Caleb - he is getting very good at being able to grasp objects! More to come!!

Holy Cow! Time Flies With 2 Kids

2008-03-13T05:37:00.000-07:00

Sorry about the long delay between postings - much has happened since the last one so I'll try to update quickly - also I'll probably spread pictures over a few posts versus dropping them all into one!

Let's see - first - JR has taken to sleeping where he sits - if the little guy is tired, he just lays down and crashes - below are pics of his "landing places."

JR's 2nd Birthday

2008-02-03T07:49:00.000-08:00

Sorry about the delayed posting - a whole bunch of stuff has been going on (2 kids, work, travel, 2 kids).

Here is a brief video clip of JR wearing his Packers garb and blowing out his candle! Great Birthday for the little guy!

Happy New Year!

2008-01-07T06:20:00.000-08:00

For this New-Year's Eve, we traveled to the Wisconsin Dells - "Home of the most indoor waterparks in the world!" .

As you can see JR, Caleb and the rest of us had a great time - John JR enjoyed the waterslide and all of us enjoyed the New-Year's Eve Dinner.

Christmas Morning

2007-12-25T12:55:00.000-08:00

Well, we had a very Merry Christmas - John Jr is at the age when he can enjoy receiving presents and he enjoyed his gifts this morning. The first two he saw were his Thomas the Train Set from Santa and his Drum Set from Grammy Ross.

Video included as well as some photos.

Milestone Reached

John Jr. slept in a "big-boy" bed tonight for the first time! Hopefully the trend continues, but he seems very open to the concept. Took a little longer than usual to put him to sleep, but that was expected.

Starbucks Anyone?

2007-12-08T15:41:00.000-08:00

Looks like John Jr takes after his dad....

(don't worry it's milk!)

Thought you'd like a smile in your life!

Thought you would all like this picture of JR - pretty Cheesy Little Guy!

John Jr's First Sledding Experience

While Bernie and I didn't see much snow growing up, Caleb and JR will most likely become very familiar with the stuff. Below is a video of John Jr. and his firs sledding excursion down a run in our front yard.
