Eli got his own digital camera from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas.  He took some pretty good picks while we were in Texas.

Wild hog--yikes!

Snake--yikes again!

Parker Evelyn

Seven Months Old

I've found myself falling behind a bit with the posts.  Maybe because Parker is becoming a lot more high maintenance than she used to be.  I suppose that goes along with being 7 months old.

She's become a bit of a diva at times--as is evidenced by the look on her face when we leave the room...

Merry Christmas!

Last weekend we finally got to go and visit Santa.  He was the best Santa we've ever seen because he was clearly the real deal!  He was wonderful and I can't believe after all these years I finally met the real Santa Claus. Eli asked for a Nintendo DS and Parker had fun taking a turn on Santa's lap.

Saturday night we had an ugly Christmas sweater party to go to at the Williams' house.  I couldn't find an ugly sweater for Parker, but I managed to find a pretty funny Mrs. Claus dress.  

Eli had his first Christmas program Monday night.  He sang his little heart out.  It seems like his first Christmas was yesterday.

Bedlam 2008

We went to Stillwater for Thanksgiving this year and got a chance to see the bedlam football game.  (Courtesy of Trevor--thank you Trevor!)  We had a great time with Trevor and Tamara and can't wait to go back and visit them again.  We tailgated with the Richardsons and the Ashleys while we were there.  Both were great tailgates!  There's no better sport than football!  Boo OU!

Hangin' Out

Parker likes to hang out in Eli's room and watch him play.  He's so sweet to her.  I'm sure things will change when she gets bigger and gets into his things, but for now, they couldn't get along any better.  

Daddy's Girl

I recently took a trip to Chicago for the annual American Speech-Language and Hearing Association conference.  I was gone for four days--the longest I'd ever been away from Parker.  She became a major Daddy's girl while I was gone.
