Merry Christmas!

First, I'll share our Christmas card out-take. We had pictures done by a photographer but it was so cold that Judah was crying and grumpy the whole time! We just about died laughing when we saw this "JOY" picture and Judah's face, and I knew we had to use it as an announcement...

I realized I posted it on facebook, but never announced on the blog... we are expecting baby #2 in June!

And here's the picture we used for our card, taken with our tripod in our backyard!

And the back of the card...

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Easter weekend

We had a relaxing Easter weekend, and enjoyed spending time with Judah's Grandpa :) He has been studying hard for his medical board renewal exams, but he took a few breaks this weekend to have fun with us.
Thomas had Friday off work, so we went on a little outing to the Arboretum. 

Classic Judah stare.


 Judah dragged us over to the froggy fountains... he reallllllly wanted to go splash in the water but it was a bit too cool.

They had a petting zoo for the kids, which of course Judah LOVED.


I had to hold him back or he would have tried to climb right on the goat's back.

 He was moving so fast chasing a fluffy little chicken it was hard to get a picture of him.


Getting our hands sanitized on the way out of the petting zoo.

Taking Grandpa for a walk :)

A very handsome "Dada"

We had to keep a grip on him, because he kept trying to run at top speed down the big hill into the large crowd of people waiting for the concert to start.


Little studmuffin.

Can you say "tree"?



Close-ups with Grandpa and a slightly grumpy Judah!






The Dallas Blooms displays were beautiful... Thomas got some flower shots.




We gave Jude his Easter basket after church on Sunday... he was pretty nonchalant about it at first.



... and then he got a bit more animated when he realized there was a DUCKY in that box!


[Judah got some bath toys by Boon and Green Toys in his basket. I had to throw most of his old bath toys away a while ago because they kept growing black mold in them despite constant rinsing and cleaning - yuck! These toys are all super cute and have no places for water to get trapped and grow mold (and most importantly they are BPA, PVC, and lead/phthalate free... which many squeezy/soft bath toys are not). Bath time has become even MORE fun for this little bath lover!]

Judah's First Christmas


The night before...
Our little 4-foot tree up on a side table out of reach of little hands.

Presents (pretty much all for Judah!) waiting to be opened.

We did stockings when we woke up on Christmas morning and Judah was like "Oh! This is for me?!"




He wasn't quite sure what to do with it, though.
After stockings, we read Luke 2 and then opened the pile of presents, mostly while Skyping with Nana and Grandad.
We had Christmas lunch with the Whitson family (friends from Kenya). 
Milling around the delicious food.

Judah got to sit in his own seat for a while. He though that was pretty awesome.

He looked adorable in his Christmas outfit.

He tried a lime wedge.

Made a funny face.

But kept going back for more with a concerned expression.

Handsome boys.

It snowed! In Dallas! On Christmas Day!


And they had a puppy. Judah LOVES puppies.



Judah entertained everyone.


He was "throwing" the ball to people...

Exploring with Stephen

Family Christmas picture.

Judah spotted the puppy and was trying to get at him... haha.

Back at home, surrounded by some of Judah's Christmas loot!

Daddy playing with Judah's his new lincoln logs :)

He built a house.

After Judah was in bed we had a late night Christmas breakfast-for-dinner and popped some of our Christmas crackers (thanks Dan!) :)


Judah's first Christmas was perfect! Relaxed, fun, and thoroughly enjoyed.
