Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jeff!
He is the "BIG 4 - 0" today!
Sheesh... where does the time go....

Seems like just yesterday I was telling you that you had the same name as my brother.

Happy Birthday! Love you honey!!!

PS - I know this has been a bad month for keeping up with blogging - but i have been trying like crazy to keep up with everything else during this crazy month. Hope you understand. Miss you all and hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. I'm going to try for one more post before the big day - let's see if I make it.

Merry Merry!

New Baby....

Hi Everyone!
How's your holiday shopping going? I'm getting there, sortof, kindof, I guess.
Still looking for those hard to shop for Grandpas... and we have three. Always tricky the grandpas are!

So...... here is baby Parker! He is so cute and so perfect. Oh, and sorry for the delay in posting them, I've been having some computer difficulties and couldn't upload them off of my camera. Now I'm a bit behind again... but what else is new?!

Here's the shots. I love this one with Abbie and Parker.

The proud new dad!
Mid way through our trip we left Heather alone for a bit to feed the baby and we walked around Michigan Ave in Chicago. Snowy, cold - but still fun! Boy - I wish I was there solo though. There were so many stores I was aching to go into. But I couldn't make the kids just stand around. Also it was very crowded everywhere. Still... a Bloomies! So hard to pass up... reminds me of NY and NJ (Bloomindales does). So here we are with Uncle Matt posing in front of a decorated window.
Max was thrilled he got to hold the baby. We couldn't get Ethan up in the hospital due to their rules... but we'll be seeing them all at Christmas and we'll get some Ethan and Parker photos then.
The beautiful new mommy ("Auntie Heather"). Can you believe this girl just gave birth?! She looks fantastic! So proud and wonderfully happy to finally hold her baby boy.

That's it for me tonight. I am sooooooo tired.

I hope to catch up more later - but to be honest this month is BUSY. I'm sure you know what I mean. Take care everyone!!! :)

JOY!

Guess what?!
I have a new nephew!
My brother Matt and sister in law Heather had their first baby this morning at 6:20 am!!!

His name is Parker and he is 8lbs10oz. He is 21 and 1/2 inches long!!! Both Mom and Baby are doing great!

Hope to have pictures to share soon. You know we are going to make the trip up (over?) there to see them all ASAP.

WHOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!!!!!!!!!!
