Our Flexible Child

This is Portia, fast asleep while folded in half. I was joking to Ronell that at least she's flexible. Yes, well flexible in body but not in spirit! How someone can be snoring in this position is beyond me but I laughed for a long time after snapping this one.

A Christmas Tradition

One of the traditions we've had from the beginning of our marriage (yes, the whole five years) is making a gingerbread house. Palmer was very excited because he got to help this year. Of course, as soon as we were done making the house, Palmer started eating it. And then, because Palmer was doing it, Portia had to be in on the action. She, however, was catching the candy that Palmer either threw or dropped. I had to snap a few pictures before the house was history. I think from here on out, the tradition won't be picking at the house little by little but seeing who can eat most of the house first!

Baby Isaac is Here!

I just wanted to show off my little nephew. Dewayne and Elli (Ronell's brother and his wife) had their first child last night. His name is Isaac Benjamin Hugh. He was 8 lbs. 5 0z. and 21 in. long. He was born last night (Dec. 4) at 7:18pm. Isaac looks like his daddy. He has the biggest feet I've ever seen and he's very calm and sleepy. We hope that lasts! We're so excited to have a cousin, instead of just playing with Mommy's cousins (who are very fun, too!). Elli almost had to have a C-section but Isaac turned around and came out handsome and huge! Elli is tired but doing well. We are so happy that everyone is happy and healthy.
