Catching Up

Well, I guess you can tell that things have been very busy at work and home -- so I am going to pretend like it is a month ago and post some (or a ton) pictures from E's sixth month and Christmas:



Six months was full of family and holidays. Derek got tickets to the Vikings/Redskins game on Christmas Eve and was in heaven.



Eleanor looked really cute in her Christmas Eve dress from Grandma Prosser. We even made it through church without any major meltdowns.





We each opened up one present on Christmas Eve...Reggie was very interested in his (a Christmas Cow that was destroyed about 5 minutes after this picture was taken).



Christmas morning was a little different this year. First off, there were approximately 759 more presents under the tree than last year...all of them for E.







My parents flew in on Christmas Day, so we did a whole other round of presents when they got in.



We gave my mom a picture calendar of all the families and grandkids, and as you can tell from this picture, it was a success.



My mom knitted Eleanor a top -- she loved it!



Something E did not love, however, was peas. She actually gagged out loud right after this picture.



Another one of my mom's creations, a knitted purple sweater.



We took Eleanor to the National Zoo while my parents were in town. She fell asleep in the car on the way there and did not open her eyes until we got back in the car to go home...so I'm not sure it really counts for her first visit.





Like Father, like daughter (this may or may not have been at 8:15pm on any given day).



Lots of family pics in the dress Grams made:













And my new favorite picture of Reginald.



Coming up next (or at least before her first birthday), E's 7th month and our trip to ND.
