Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year in our new home! Santa was very good to Nicholas. He got lots of toys from Santa, Mommy and Daddy, and his aunts, uncles, and grandparents! Of course his favorite was the $3 broom from Mommy and Daddy that he carried around all morning! It took him almost 2 hours to open his presnts because he wanted to play with each thing after he opened it!

Oh, Christmas Tree!

We finally got our Christmas tree inside! Nicholas actually isn't touching it as much as I thought he would. I did leave the glass ornaments in the box this year and stuck with the non-breakables and candy canes! I was also very ambitious and strung cranberries...very pretty but I think my hands are going to be stained into the new year! Here are some pictures...just for comparison!

1st surgery and a Christmas Tree!

I haven't posted in a long time. I guess we've just been so busy with the house. We had a very busy weekend. Nicholas survived his first surgery. He had eye surgery on Friday and was a very brave little boy. I think it was harder on us than it was on him. He is recovering well and we were even able to get our Christmas tree today! He goes to the doctor tomorrow for the follow-up. We're crossing our fingers that it worked. We can already see a difference in his eyes!

Here is a picture of Nicholas in his hospital PJ's and also one of our tree! It's still in the garage in a bucket of water...but at least we got it home!

Halloween in our New House!

We have had a very busy week! We officially moved from our townhouse to a "real" house with a yard, more space, and leaves to rake! We are so excited to have more room for Nicholas to move around and a yard for him to play in. We celebrated Halloween by trick-or-treating with John and Paul and meeting our new neighbors. Nicholas rode around in the wagon with Paul and got some candy of his own. Here are some pictures! Enjoy!

Fall Fun!

Last weekend Nicholas and I went to Evansville. It was rather challenging to take him on the plane by myself, but we made it. He actually fell asleep sitting in my lap on the plane. (He hasn't done that since he was a newborn.) We did a lot of fun things. We went to the Fall Festival and I also walked the half marathon with my mom, sister, and sister-in-law. Nicholas got to have some bonding time with Uncle Greg, Uncle Andrew, and Maggie. Here are some pictures of our trip!

Eating!

Nicholas is getting to the point where he'll only eat yogurt if I let him feed himself. As you can see he doesn't really "eat" much but he's learning!

Glasses!

Nicholas is wearing his glasses like a big boy! We can't believe that he doesn't take them off. We just wanted to share some pictures of how cute he looks in these! We feel bad that he has to wear them, but they are still so cute!
