Super Baby Turns One!

It's really hard to believe that our Super Baby has now turned one. This past year has been so enjoyable  to watch this little man grow. He is such a happy, silly, and laid back little boy. He always has a smile or wave for you. He loves to dance to music and pat your back when giving a big hug. Happy, happy birthday Super Baby. You are a super star in our hearts.

Why not extend Halloween and wear capes?

Gifts, glorious gifts!

Parties tucker little guys out. Good thing we get an extra hour of sleep tonight! 

Then he will wake up ONE!

The Great Extended Halloween

Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year. Why not when you get to dress up and eat wonderful sweet things? So we "got this party started" early…

It took Elias some time to decide what he wanted to be this year, but he finally decided on a white polar bear (much inspired by a set of new jambes from Oma). We first headed to our local Children's Museum to check out the new Playscape.

TWO polar bears...rawr!

Then we got our pumpkin "carving"or rather decorating on…

Don't forget the neighborhood party….

And of course trick-or-treating (which happened on November 1st this year due to a severely wet and windy All Hallow's Eve)…

Oh the Stash!

Meanwhile Mama and Daddy crashed on the couch for a little Phish Couch Tour….a nice way to end this holiday.

Colts V. Broncos: The Return of Peyton Manning

Due to the good fortune and opportunity provided by the Hemophilia of Indiana, Mama and Daddy got to attend a very special Colts game last weekend. It was the first game back for the long-time quarterback of the Colts Peyton Manning who now plays for the Denver Broncos. Horse vs. horse, the Colts still won after a very exciting 39-33 game!

This littlest Colt wanted in get in on come action too...

B-U T-L-E R-U A BULLDOG, hell ya!

Butler Homecoming was this past weekend, so we got our Butler spirit on.

Elias meeting Blue III

In other news, Mr. Emmett took his first steps Sunday night! Watch out world! We were happy to all have been there to witness this historic event.

Port-Te-Port

(pronounced in your best Swedish chef accent...)

There comes a time in a young man's life when he wants to get out and explore his world. Well Mr. Emmett, since you have hemophilia and need your factor medication more often now to protect your joints and organs, let's get you a port of your very own. This allows Mama to get you the medicine you need to conquer the world, just like your big brother.
