Madeline Planck

We took a quick trip up to Middletown on Friday to visit Anna and her new baby! Madeline Planck was born on Thursday, January 3rd and weighed 6 pounds, 2oz. Congratulations to Anna and Clint! She's adorable :-)

Here are a couple of pictures.

Christmas presents

As expected, Natalie got entirely too many presents for Christmas. She told me to thank you all for the gifts. A few of the presents she received are shown below.

Here's the shopping cart she got. She loves to push it around, but she also loves to make Mom and Dad push it around as well. We've already done many laps around the house.

Natalie also received a playdough set that she's been enjoying. The carpet wasn't too happy to see that present get unwrapped though.

Natalie's new dolly is also getting a lot of attention. She came with a hat that Natalie can't quite get back on when it falls off. Don't worry though, I've put it back on the doll's head about 342 times already.

Natalie's career in photography is also off to a good start. Her new pink camera that talks to her is one of her favorites.

And finally, we also received a Wii for Christmas! We've been having a lot of fun with it, and even Natalie likes to pick up the Wii-mote and swing it around like she's playing tennis. Hopefully there are some pictures of Ginny and Connie playing the Boxing game on the Wii. Amazingly entertaining :-) If I find any I'll be sure to post them.

What did all of you get for Christmas?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

Well, we've finished up the 6 or so Christmas events that we had scheduled for December. Here are a couple of pictures from December get-togethers. The first is a picture from one of the events on the Flannery side of things, and the second is a shot from the Robinson Christmas. It was great to see everyone during the holidays!

Have a great year, everyone.
