Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving this year was very busy! First we went up to NJ the weekend before. I went to Lea's baby shower, then we had dinner at my mom's, then on Sun we had dinner at my dad's. Then on Thanksgiving we traveled up to PA to spend it with the Fettermans. We also got to go over to the Bloom football game, which was a hit with Tyler. He sat and watched the whole game!! Here are some pics from the last week.

Misc Pics

Here are some pics over the last day or 2.

Lindsay has a little infection on her right thumb and has to wear a sock over it. She doesn't seem bothered by it at all. But here she is last night with it on scouting out the table for more food after she already ate!

Nick & Kristin drove from NC to visit over the weekend. Nick played baseball with Trev in college and was one of his roommates. We had a fun time, despite Penn State's loss. Thanks for coming!!

Too cute...I looked over last night and Lindsay got her way..more food! And Tyler was so sweet and was feeding her. Awe!

What a great big brother!

This pic cracks me up. I brought this wagon upstairs and the next thing you know...Lindsay got in and Tyler was so cute and was pulling her all around. Love to see them playing together!

Our new Nephew

Here are some pics of our new little nephew, Christopher. We can't wait to meet him later this month! He's so cute! Now we have a niece and a nephew!

Halloween 2008

We had a fun, busy Halloween. Tyler had a little party and parade at school. Then we had some neighbors over for pizza, went trick or treating and then back to our place for some fun. Here are some pics..once again..not in the correct order :)

Penn State Game / Late Night Landscaping

Another fun weekend in our new house. Sat night we had Christi, Chad, Shanna and Will over for the Penn State vs. Ohio State game. Trev was obviously routing for PSU, while Chad & Christi are big Buckeye fans. It made for a fun and late evening!!

Trev was pretty happy after the big win!

Group shot....late in the evening.

Here's a picture of the boys before they went out to do some late night, friendly landscaping for one of the neighbors:

Retake of Lindsay's 1st Birthday Pics

Trev & Tyler are up in PA this weekend. So I am lucky enough to have a 'girls' weekend with Lindsay. So I thought it would be a good idea to try to have her pics done again since the last time was a fiasco. Well, she cried immediately when they brought her in the room. I was ready to leave again but the lady told me to just let her hang out for a while. So about 20-30 mins later...Lindsay stopped crying hysterically and we got a few decent shots...not exactly what I had in mind..but better than last time :)

We brought some props...the bear rug that my dad and Barb got her and the blanket that we had made for her by a friend's mom. She did a great job on it as you can see....

Her eyes are a bit red and puffy from the crying...but here are a few of my favorites...

Awe.....

Love the drool...
Awe, so shy....
What a big girl!
Big smiles!
This pic cracks me up. Notice the bag of puffs in front of her..bribery! Also, thanks to Barb for the beautiful sweater that she made for Lindsay...
What happened to the bow?
Having fun.
