Here's Jeanna in her Christmas dress and the new coat her Aunt Kelley got her. Now, don't call the authorities because my daughter is in a cage- She crawled in there herself at Grandma Sue's house- She loves it! For a more casual look, Jeanna has donned her Avalanche hoodie that her papa got her. Jeanna loves pointing to and saying "hockey" whenever she sees it on tv or across the front of her brother Alex's or papa's shirts.

Here are some pics. from Christmas. You can see Tony with the '73 that he and Ken plan on restoring. Some day this hunk-o-metal will be his car. I think the guys had a good CHristmas- Tony got a rack to display is karate belts and a digital camera (which is already broke!). Alex got a guitar and all the accessories- including lessons. You can see Jeanna playing with her magnetic sketch pad. There's also a pic. here from our time at Keith (Ken's brother) and Jess's house with the cousins on the couch (in order of age) Alex, Tony, Kassidy, Tyler, and Jeanna. We are just missing Marty (Scott's son) who spend the holiday in Oregon.

Good times and sad

Here are some "around the house" pics I took before Christmas. As you can see, Jeanna has developed her mother's love of sweets. She know the words cookie, cake and ice cream!
On a sadder note, we had to put our beloved Frodo, down. THis was a very hard decision, but he was so sick; we felt it was in his best interest. He will always hold a special place in our hearts.

New (old) pictures

These pictures are pretty old (sometime in November?), but I wanted to post from when Tony moved from purple to blue belt. This is his 6th belt in the series.

My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiime.

Jeanna went to my friend Amy's daughter's 1st birthday. Debbie's granddaughter. Alaya's party was at the "Little Gym" when toddlers can play on lots of cool equipment. There are also some shots here of Jeanna on the playset we bought her as an early Christmas present. She can go down the slide now with no hands!

You can do it!

She's getting there!

I know this image is dark, but I had to share. Last night, Jeanna stood up without holding on to anything. After she did it once she kept doing it over and over. In fact, after she would walk to us, she would crawl about a foot away just she she could stand up without holding on. My baby is growing up!
