Merry Christmas

Coming this spring...

Seemed time for the newest edition of our family to finally make an appearance on the blog. North absolutely can't wait to be a big brother and meet his little sister this spring. Alan and I are pretty excited to meet her as well. Here are the pictures we have of her from ultrasounds so far:

Maryland Science Center

Every few months we head to Baltimore to visit the aquarium and science center--2 of North's favorite attractions. Here are some photos from our most recent stop.

Thanksgiving in Indiana

Over Thanksgiving Alan and I both took off a long weekend from work so that we could take a quick trip to Indiana. We had a fabulous time visiting with everyone, though as always it went far too quickly.

being a ham.

adding the angel to grandma and grandpa's tree.

this year's gingerbread houses (grandma's is the collapsed one).

We also attended a Thanksgiving parade with Nana and Grandad but unfortunately weren't able to snap any photos in the dark.

Our last day in town we celebrated with the McGranahans and Clarkes. The 3 kiddos LOVED getting to play together.
