Emily's dance

Of course, we forgot to take any pictures of her alone.
She had all of her friends over to get ready for the dance.

There was make-up and flat irons everywhere!
Em with her friends.

The Beach and a Babe Magnet

"Will you be my Valentine?"

"This is the biggest bath tub I've ever seen!"...Ian was later told that this was the Gulf of Mexico in Gulfport.

"This hat makes me look like such a big boy!"

"Daddy and I look good!"

A Few Recent Pics

Check out my sweet new ride.
We took Ian to his first basketball game. With the game starting at his bedtime and the crowd cheering and screaming...well let's just say he has had happier nights.
A little time with a blanket full of toys.

I'm Not a Squirt Anymore!

So, this was Ian and Anderson when Ian was about 4 days old and Anderson was 2 1/2 months old.

Now look at them! Not such a difference anymore! I think Ian is catching up! Of course, he hasn't caught up to Sean Patrick yet!

"Anderson, I think you have my toy!"
"I got it!"

Ian Learns What It Means To Be A Saints Fan

Alright, Caryn and I are big nerds. We made Ian and his woman Saints outfits to be ready for the big game. As you can see, he knows he looks good.
Ian and his honey, Meredith, were fired up and ready to go.
Ian's favorite Saint is Scott Fujita because he too was adopted.

"Just making sure you're not messing up my stuff."

He needed some consoling after the game.

Ian's Posse

Here is the "Mommy and Me" crew. From left to right:
Carson, Logan, Meredith (the only girl, poor baby), Ian, and Zachary

Look at Me!

Uncle Matty came all the way to Mississippi just to see me!!

This has to be some sort of choking hazard, right?? (no one panic...he really can't choke on it!)

Ian thinks he is very grown up because he sits in the big tub all by himself!

Vino holidays

Matt and I on a vintage Harley in Maryland.
Yes, we bought him a gun.
The girls shopping in MD.
Liv's Christmas spoils.
All dressed up for the youth Christmas party.

Christmas 2006

Ian on Christmas eve. He just found out that there is a nice AND naughty list.


Here is Ian surveying all that Santa brought on Christmas morning. Looks like he made it to on the nice list....not that he was worried!


"Look Daddy, I can do it all by myself!"



Ian's favorite part....the paper!


Santa brought a rocking giraffe...perfect for his room!


Mimi and Bo gave Ian the Zoo animal choo-choo train...a very big hit!


"Thanks Granny for the red wagon. Can't wait for warm weather!"
