I'll be home for Christmas...

That's right we are headed to the cold northeast... New Hampshire to exact. My family is up there and we will be spending Christmas and ringing in the New Year up where the snow falls and the ice makes it impossible to get around. It will be fun though, we haven't been back since we got married 2 1/2 years ago and Jamen will get see the Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles. I'm sure we'll have lots to tell you about when we get back but in the mean time may you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Here are some new pictures of Jamen...

Some friends are letting us borrow a jumping thing, for lack of a better term, for Jamen and it only fits in our bathroom door; which is why you have a lovely view of our toilet.

Can you guess what he's doing in this picture?

You're wrong if you guess messing his pants...he learned he can suck on his lips different ways and it make a popping noise. Thats what he's doing in the following pictures...

Clap Jamen Clap

Four days after we taught Jamen to clap, he has mastered this new skill.

(Sorry its so dark, guess we need another light in the room)

Jamens First Snow

It snowed all day here in Missouri, but Missouri snow fortunately is not as cold as Michigan snow or New Hampshire snow.  But it is colder than Georgia snow since we don't have any.  As you can see from the video Jamen wasn't quite sure what to think of the falling white flakes.  (and for those concerned we only kept him outside without a hat for 60 seconds and promptly brought him back inside)

Thanksgiving Pictures

This Thanksgiving we were blessed to be able to go to Uncle Ed and Aunt Merions house in Springfield MO.  We can't believe that we have family just over an hour away!

Thanksgiving morning Jamen joined the gang as we watched the Thanksgiving Day Parade

 Jamen was surprised at the disgraceful perfermance by the Detroit Lions

 After Thanksgiving Dinner we took Jamen to the Bass Pro World Headquarters in Springfield.  He loved watching the fish and the ducks in the different aquariums.

He also got to see Santa while he we were there!

But the highlight of the day for Jamen was the dog Nicky.  He thought she was the best thing ever...unfortunately Nicky thought Jamen was out to get her and spent the entire time hiding from Jamen.

sorry for how dim this video is...but I think it shows the relationship Jamen and Nicky have. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
