Resolution?
Happy 2010! As we look forward to a year of wonderful times, we find ourselves getting into the routine of the annual setting of resolutions. In doing this, George asked Savannah if she had any resolutions for the New Year. She quickly replied "Yes, I do." She then proceeded to leave the living room - she returned with this...
"Here's your rest lotion Dad."
This is truly what we all need. May your year be filled with many blessings and lots of "rest lotion." :)

Christmas 2009
What a wonderful time we had! We spent Christmas morning at our house for the very first time this year. Ever since George and I started dating, we have always been at other family members' homes for Christmas morning. It was nice to wake up in our home with all of our wonderful Christmas decorations and our HUGE Christmas tree.
Per Savannah, Santa was not allowed to come into the house - but it was okay for Dad to meet Santa outside and get the gifts. Thanks to Dad helping Sanat out, we woke up to a couch full of Santa gifts and full stockings. Now one would think at the age of 3 the present opening would be like a tornado going through the living room. Not in this house - Savannah would tear off one piece, usually little, at a time and place it on the floor in a pile, then onto the next piece. Needless to say, we spent a LOT of time opening gifts. :) Mason had some help opening his gifts and seemed to be somewhat intrigued with each of them. He managed to stay awake for most of the Christmas happenings. As always Jake and Dixie took part in the present opening - they especially enjoy the boxes of cookies that they receive.
We spent Christmas day afternoon with George's family at his parent's house where we proceeded to slowly open more gifts - well at least Savannah opened things slowly. George and I have present opening down to a few seconds flat. We finished our evening with a wonderful dinner and yummy desserts.
On Saturday, we spent the day with my family at my parent's house. Once again with the present opening. Savannah had to move a little faster this time to try and keep up with Lynlea and Chloe. :) What a little peer pressure will do. After the presents were opened, we had another fabulous dinner and more delicous desserts. I don't think we will need to eat for the next few weeks.
We received so many wonderful, thoughtful gifts. I guess we can say that our children, and we, are well loved.
Here are some pictures of our two day Christmas celebration:
Hoping you all had a wonderful celebration and enjoyed family time as much as we did!

Savannah is 3 & Mason is 2 months!!
How did it get to be Christmas time already? As I am sure there will be lots of photos to come with Christmas, I wanted to get out a few (well, I guess that's an understatement) photos of some of our happenings in the last two months. Hope you enjoy them and don't get too overwhelmed :)...
Mason 2 weeks to 2 months:
Halloween 2009:
Savannah at swim:
Savannah's 3rd birthday:
Thanksgiving with the Price's in Grayland:
Savannah is the best big sister in the entire world. She is always wanting to help and is very good at helping to calm Mason down.
Also during this time Savannah has moved from diapers into Big Girl Undies. As parents know, this has its pluses and minuses :) - everywhere we go we have to map out where the nearest bathrooms are. She is very proud of herself and praises herself pretty much every time she uses the potty!
The last two months have been wonderful and we have truly enjoyed each and every minute! Take care!!!

MASON EDWARD HAS ARRIVED
Born: October 5, 2009 (Monday)
Time: 6:48 pm
Height: 20 inches
Weight: 8 lbs. 12 oz.
Eyes: Dark blue
Hair: Blonde
After what some would refer to as the longest pregnancy in history (especially me) :), Mason arrived four days early - with some help from the Midwife. I was admitted Monday morning around 7:30 am (which had been planned), started active labor at 2:06 pm, and Mason came into this world at 6:48 pm. All in all it was a pretty quick event (which as those of you who have been through labor know, it doesn't seem that quick at the time). We stayed at the hospital for two nights and were released to come home on Wednesday afternoon.
Savannah loves Mason to pieces! She refers to him as "my baby" and wants to hold, hug, and kiss him all the time. She is a great big sister!!!
Here are some of the first pictures of our newest addition:
We are all doing great and are rapidly trying to adjust to our new life. I will try and get more updates posted here shortly, as we have taken tons of photos. I just don't get to the computer very often. :)
Take care!

Outdoor Fun!
This weekend we have been able to spend a lot of time outside - the weather has been gorgeous!! On Saturday we went to a birthday party for a friend's, Tristan, 5th birthday celebration. It was at the park and you couldn't have asked for nicer weather. Here are some pics of Savannah playing on the playground -
Swinging with Minnie Mouse:
Silly Savannah!
Savannah and Tristan coming down the stairs:
What's with the puffy cheeks?
Savannah getting ready to go down the "big slide":
Today we went over and had dinner at Grammys and Granddaddy's house. The three cousins played outside the majority of the time we were there. The only time they weren't outside was when we were eating. :)
Here are a few pics from their bike riding fun time:
Savannah on the scooter:
Savannah with her helmet on, holding the scooter (Safety 1st you know):
Lynlea on her tricyle:
Chloe taking her turn on the tricycle:
Watch out! Here comes Savannah!
Gotta love the sunny weather! :)

Family Birth Center Visit
In an effort to help prepare Savannah for Mason's arrival, we took a tour of the Family Birth Center at St. Peter's Hospital. You would have thought she had been there before (which technically she has) by the way she was at the head of the crowd. Hopefully, she will be as enthused the next time we are there. :)
Here are a few pics from our visit:
Savannah wanting to pick out a balloon -
"Look - Nemo and Marlin!" -
She liked the big birthing tubs in the delivery room -
"One for me and one for Daddy." (fold out cots)-
Wags the Dog came along for the tour as well -
Savannah and Mama on the hospital bed -
"See you soon Mason!" -
