Our little angel...



























He is our little angel. However, he is chockful of attitude. It is quite humorous right now but I am certain we won't find it to be very funny several months from now or especially when he hits his "wonderful two's."
He is growing so much and will be 3 months old tomorrow. That is so hard for us to believe. He has almost outgrown his little bouncy seat. Now he just gives it a hard kick and gets alot more fun out of it than the previously chilling out place. Now he knows how to make it really bounce. It is fun to watch him in this thing but it won't be much longer and he will have to move on to a new toy, as most boys do.

Of course, he has a guitar on his shirt. Some close friends of ours bought this for him since Daddy loves his guitar. It is perfect!!

Thanksgiving...

























This is Xander with his sweet cousin Kendall during Thanksgiving while we were in Louisville with Jason's family. Kendall is Jason's brother's little girl. She is 2 1/2 years old and such a little mother. She was so protective of Xander and called him a "baby doll." We had a great time there despite that Jason, Xander and myself all had a nasty cold with multiple manifestations.
Actually, Jason is finally better and Xander and I are starting to come out of the woods with this thing. It is a strange one.
We hope that each and every one of you had a lovely holiday. We are so thankful for our family and our friends. We thank God for his many blessings he has given us especially giving us our adorable son.

Celebrating HIM!!

them bones, them bones, those bag of bones..

























We all took a trip to the new museum. This is the Gray Fossil Site and Museum where they have discovered fossils of red panda, badgers, tapirs, rhinoceros, alligator and a saber tooth cat. It was a fascinating little trip. My mom (mam mam) is with Stasia and Xander. Then of course Daddy is showing Xander some bones in a case and telling him all about it. He was actually very fascinated by all that he saw there. He just keeps his eyes so bright and alert all the time and takes it all in as much as he can. Of course, Mommy is the papparazzi and taking all of the pictures.

Xander's dedication Nov. 11th 2007


Well, here we are, Jason, me, my mother (Linda), Stasia (our niece), Jim and Cindy (godparents) and Xander. Xander was dedicated in church and we are so proud to lift him up to our Lord and Saviour. We can only hope that we will have the wisdom and discernment to guide him on his journey.









Mom and Dad and Xander. We love our little man soooo much.

Growing up so fast.....






Xander is so much fun. We are just having a blast with him!! He always has a smile to offer. He just talks all the time now. He even has started to giggle. One day I was driving down the road and Xander was in the back in his seat and he was just cooing up a storm to his little friend in the backseat. I never quite figured out who or what he was talking to but it made me giggle. He really has an infatuation with light and sunshine. He loves when he gets up in the morning to look out the living room window at the sunshine. He will just lay on my lap and smile as he looks out the window.
He really loves bath time too. He gets super snuggly and happy afterwards.
Xander and Daddy have a lot of fun together too. They sing and talk and Daddy taught him how to shake his rattle. Of course this is brand new and he is still mastering his coordination so that he doesn't knock himself out.
Xander is 9 weeks and 3 days old in the top and bottom pictures which were taken Monday. The bath time picture was taken a week or so ago.
He goes in for his shots on Thursday so keep the little guy in your prayers.
Xander will also be dedicated this Sunday at church in Kingsport at Grace Fellowship at the 10:45am. service. We are so blessed and so excited to see what God has in store for our little man.

Celebrating HIM!!
