Christmas Break

Baby Reid is now 7 weeks old and has had a very eventful first month and half of life. When your born right before the holiday season you tend to get a lot of face requests. Before I get into the holiday events check out this picture first. We title it "A Family That Swaddles Together Stays Together". Reid was about 2-3 weeks old when we took this picture.

For thanksgiving we went to my aunt Carol's in KC and Reid got to meet the family for the first time. We had a great weekend and we were starting to get the hang of the new guy in our lives. Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving. 

I went back to work three weeks after I had Reid so that partially explains why I haven't wrote in a while. My mom came up for the weekend before Nathan's Christmas break and she definitely enjoyed her time with the new grandson. Here are some pictures from time at home and christmas.

Nathan has a hard time staying up late and with the baby he was pretty tired. 

Miss B has been warming up to Reid more lately but at first she didn't know what to think about him.

There are 5 generations in this picture! Wow! Those horses look like they are running into my mom's head.

He's so cute!!

He loves taking bath's and usually gets close to falling asleep. 

The picture in the background is what we made for both of our parents this year for their Christmas present. Nathan is really proud of it because he took the photos, edited in Photoshop, did the layout in InDesign, and printed on the school printing press. Looks like teaching all those computer classes have paid off!

Sarah and Jodi came to the shower and it was really nice to see both of them. Everyone is doing well and it was just great catching up.

Happy 22nd birthday Jared! Your present is on it's way. When I say on it's way I mean I have to go get you something and send it to you. Any ideas on what you want?

Reid is kinda a pre-madonna. He likes to look at himself in the mirror. 

Since being back from my parents house I have been working and Nathan is staying at home with Reid. I haven't received any "how do I?" calls yet while being at work so everything must be going well. He is becoming quite the homemaker with all the cleaning, laundry, and meals! The third week in January Reid will start with part time daycare (all she can do until march) so we have devised a plan until full time is available. Nathan's mom and sister will be helping us out with watching Reid and Nathan will be taking some days off from school as well until the full time can start. Other than that things are going really well and we look forward to starting a new year together (we discussed this on new years and we have been together for the last 12 new year's!) with our new roommate!!
