Easter Egg Hunt

Jesse’s Mothers Together small group decided to have a easter egg hunt this year (I guess we could have last year except that none of your kids were moving yet . . .)

Thanks to the Kembel’s for hosting a great time. The kids had a blast looking for “well hidden” eggs.

I have this feeling that is all I am going to be able to think about for the next few days. What a trip – I was on my way to the hospital for a check up about now and had no idea that tomorrow would be my little boy’s birthday. And now he is turning one – where has the year gone?

First Christmas

Chanler spent his first Christmas getting to know extended family in Minnesota. He met his Great-Grandma, Great Aunt and Uncle, and lots of cousins. He had a great time being the center of attention to all the people and especially cousin Darren’s two dogs (Kisses and Blanca)

We made our “maiden” voyage on an airplane today with Chanler. Surprisingly enough, Chanler made it without crying and even slept for most of the trip.

I was very worried about flying with Chanler since he is just getting over a cold (as such he is at higher risk for getting an ear infection) and because he hates to be confined for any length of time, but I was happily surprised. Lucky for us airplanes don’t require children to be IN their carseats. =]

Howdy Partner

Well it is Chanler’s first Halloween (not my favorite “holiday”) and we dressed him as a cowboy – I found a hat that was too cute to pass up and then Grandma found the piece de resistance – the real cowboy boots.

Chanler's Dedication

We had Chanler dedicated tonight at our church (MPPC) by the pastor that leads our couples group (and wants to be Chanler’s adopted grandma) Joanie Tankersley. After we celebrated with family and friends at Buca di Beppo in Palo Alto.

Chanler’s wonderful outfit was made by his Grandmama Hraban, because the one Jesse wanted to get was not available – Isn’t it a cute suit!! and amazingly enough Chanler did not spit up on it until after the service was over =].
