Christmas #3 - Kate's Family

Our final stop was Muscatine and the Freedman side of the family. Amelia got to hang out with cousin Tom and exchange notes.

Traveling Adventures

We managed to hit every type of weather imaginable on our trip. Sleet, freezing rain, ice (so black ice on the roads), torrential rain and dense fog. Needless to say, we got a bit sick of driving so Amelia had to take her turn.

Christmas #2 - Kevin's Family

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the Scarff side of the family in Ohio.

Christmas #1 - Home

As we were traveling over Christmas, we decided to have a mini Christmas at home so Amelia could open her presents that wouldn't fit in the car.

Sitting!

Amelia is now mastering the art of sitting. It generally involves heading towards her toes at the moment but she's putting in lots of practice so she can show off to all the relatives next week!

Go Bulldogs!

Last weekend we took Amelia to her first Drake basketball game. She liked the bright lights and music, but the buzzer startled her throughout the game. She spent her time napping, sucking on her hand and looking around at all the action.

Christmas Preparations

Well the tree is up so we thought we'd take some pictures of Amelia with a new background. She looks so guilty here. Next year maybe, but I did put her in that position this time :)




Check out Kate's new haircut. . . . I had a slight communication problem with the hairdresser. . . but oh well, it will grow . . . eventually.

Growing, Growing, Growing

Believe it or not, Amelia is in the same outfit in these two pictures. The first one was taken her first night at home and the second over the weekend (as she turned 4 months old). What a stretchy onesie!

Thanksgiving

We had a great time visiting Grandma Becky, Grandpa and Uncle Mark in Maple Grove for Thanksgiving. Amelia has now found her hands (and Mummy and Daddy's fingers) and we even managed to capture half a smile on the scary black box this time!

Shopping

We met Grandma, Auntie Suzie and cousin Tom at Williamsburg for a spot of shopping. Amelia and Tom are starting to show a little interest in each other.

Iowa Weather

Oh, what a difference a day makes. These pictures were taken November 4th and 5th. The weather changes quickly here!

Halloween Time...

Above are some pictures as we get ready for Amelia's first Halloween.

Fall Walk

This weekend we took a family walk though a wooded trail. Above are pictures from our walk and other recent photos.
