11 Weeks and a Tree

So we finally got the tree up and everyone is excited. Especially baby's that like to stare at lights and cats that like to smack hangy, jingly things. So we are officially part of the holiday season now.

Aside from all that, if anyone ever has considered trying to tear their thumbnail off with a football don't bother, It's no fun and it doesn't work very well. That's all I will say about that. Except for the fact that I threw TWO touchdown passes AFTER the incident!

Erin finished up the annual holiday newsletter tonight and it's a mighty fine one. So if we have your mailing address then you might just be lucky enough to get one in the next few weeks. If not, we lost your address...yeah, that's the ticket.

That's about it for the wordy part of this post. Time for the pictures. Enjoy.

A Visit North

Now that we're home we are getting back into the routine. Erin's leave is about up so we're gearing up for Avery's first trip to the "Manny's" (Cap'n Steve). I think everyone is very excited to get started with "things" again. Even though some of us complain a little about having to go back to work I think some of us are also ready to go back.

Here are some of the people we visited while we were there.



Avery loved meeting her Great Grandma.



And Grandma and her had a lot to talk about.



Ok so there are a lot of other people that she met while we were there but the pictures of them are on our other camera. So you'll just have to wait to see those. In the mean time Ill just post a few fun pics of the little lady.

First, the Kansas division of "Team Ollig"


Here is someone a few hours after her first round of shots. No fun, that's for sure.


Just a cute face.


And lets just say...I had nothin to do with this!

7 Weeks

Someone had a smiley day today! I guess she's too young to know what it means when your football team gets their butt kicked. I'm just glad we finally caught one on camera.




I have more pics to post but it started raining and my satellite is going all goofy. So Ill post them tommorrow.

Halloween and things

Can't write much, baby is no longer entertained by the crib and wants some attention.

so to make it quick, this is our Halloween pepper and one after the costume came off.

5 Weeks

As you can see, her week 5 picture wasn't all fun and games!
