Makaela comes to visit me and Isaac at the hospital and holds baby Isaac for the first time.

Isaac is less than a day old here and resting in the hospital bassinet.

A day old and adorable. He sports little Patagonia brand booties from Ashley and Zack. Thanks guys, they're great!

Like father, like daughter.

Makaela's Mustache

Makaela got a hold of our camera when we weren't looking, and took a series of self-portraits. here is one that came out.

beautiful babe and soon to be big sista! 

I think she's looking at a Toy Story reel.

Our snow man. 

It snowed a few weeks ago. The snow stuck and slowly melted over the course of a week. This picture is from our back deck.  

Makaela and Mommy read a book of nursery rhymes. 

Makaela finger-paints for the first time! She was mesmerized by the way the squishy paint felt between her fingers. 

Makaela shows me her painting hands.

Yay for the alphabet bus! Thanks Jocelyn.

Mr. Potato Head rules!

Sean, Makaela and Cat went out to Sebeka, Minnesota for Christmas this year. The following pictures are from our trip...we stayed Jeannie's Martini's house (Sean's Mom). We had fun at her busy household, did some wedding planning, shot guns and played in the snow. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!

Sean looks right at home with a gun on his shoulder and a cig behind his ear!

Preggie-Cat shoots a 22 and hits the far off can! What a great shot. Good ol' fun in the mid-west.
