10 weeks old and a ball of ruff... She's so smart and so full of energy. I'm glad she's here with us :)

Time to reflect

Time to reflect, originally uploaded by keisison.

There was a little lull before the ceremony started and the guest were starting to arrive. The mountain decided to show herself and i decided to try and take a few captures. I looked over at Dad and caught him looking over some of his notes before he had to walk his youngest child down the aisle. I think he was reflecting over some of the things he was going to say during his toast. Now in retrospect recalling the toast and seeing him in this pensive state - my only comment is Ted you did a great job and i could only hope to inspire my children the way you have yours.

Little wing...

Avery was all winged out for Matt and Robin's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and the setting as amazing.

Welcome Emily

Trixie

Wow never thought that coming up with a name would be so hard. Avery was a little slap happy last night when we were driving home from Jersey. This afternoon we finally settled on naming her Trixie. She should be here at the end of next week. Can't wait to meet her finally.

Just Playing

It's been fun lately playing with the features of Aperture - Jury is still out as far as I'm concerned. I'd like to give Adobe's lightroom a shot but not sure if i'm in to making the investment. I wish there was a Mac desktop version of Picasa. Hopefully the next version of iPhoto will catch up...

The newest member of the family

Puppy, originally uploaded by keisison.

Well we have a new addition to the family. Kelly and the kids got me a puppy for my birthday. I can't wait to meet the little girl. We spent most of the day looking for all the doggie items we're going to need to make her feel at home... definitely more to come. I'm so happy that the kids are going to get to grow up with pets...

Goofy Fishing

Kelly and the kids went to Ohio for a few days. Avery had a great time with Grandpa and couldn't stop talking about it.

Getting Big..

Wow i can't believe how big they're getting. Seems like just yesterday they had their bottles and carriers.

Let it Snow Let it Snow...

Last week we got hit by a Noreaster... not really sure what that means but i do know it snowed a whole lot :) It took me a few hours to shovel off the drive way but it was fun - i love the snow!! 

little milestones...

I was making a pattern for a costume party that Avery was going to. I had the kitchen table covered in butcher block. Avery asked if she could draw on a little corner so i said "sure". Wow was i suprised when she started writing out her name... she's getting big quick...

Playing with Photoshop :)

 

Christmas in Ohio

Happy happy joy joy... Funny how a 9 hour drive can turn into 12 hours there and 14 hours back... we drove out to Ohio to spend the Christmas weekend. Lots more time would have been great, it definitely felt a little cut short. The rest of Kelly's family got to meet Ian and he got to meet his Great Grandparents. He also thought that the Hungarian song he was being sung was a barrell of laughs. 

Ole St. Nick

We took the kids to see Santa this weekend. Ian seemed to be a little upset. I'm not sure if it was because he was tired or because he had on the same outfit as the big guy... 

Avery's 3rd Birthday - A Pink Party

We celebrated Avery's 3rd birthday this weekend. Kelly had asked her what kind of party she wanted to have and without hesitation Avery said "A pink party mommy!"

It was much fun. We had quite a house full with her classmates and some friends to help celebrate. Of course Kelly did most of the work - I'm still trying to figure out what a pink party is exactly...

More Halloween Poultry

Mom was in town for Halloween and had to pause to take a moment with the local poultry.... 

Happy Halloween Bok Bok!!

Avery had a great halloween. Kelly put a lot of work into her chicken costume and it was very well received in the neighborhood. Can't wait to see what Kelly comes up with next year!

October Days

It's been a full few weeks since Ian was born. Lots of friends and family stopping by to see how Ian is doing. We were lucky enough to have a few days of sun, luckier still to have everyone wanting to share in our joy.
