The Trooper II

I wanted to take a quick time-out to thank Ray, Barb, Ben, Mel, Connor and Kaylee for putting up with our middle-of-the-night antics and early departure in regards to sick lil Ian. I think Melissa and I have a lot of sleep to catch up on, and I’m hoping that everybody had fun none-the-less. I have to apologize to Connor in particular, I made a lot more excuses than I did time to play. Hopefully I’ll do better next time, but wow, has the pace of these holidays changed since we started inviting babies, eh? 😉

Thanksgiving’s hidden agenda. (Ok, they really weren’t all that pumped about the game, but it is a fitting caption, isn’t it?) See this image larger.

Almost the whole crew sitting down for a feast! (Sorry Mel, you get some great shots, but we need you IN some of them! I’ll do better next time.) A big thanks to the preparers of the dinner and the cleaners of the aftermath. See this image larger.

Pretty much the same as the football shot, but Dada (that’s me) liked this one too. Suggest looking at it larger by clicking here.

Cute as a button! See this image larger.

“Say, we don’t have handles at home… Weee!” See this image larger.

Depth of field makes dada happy… now why isn’t anybody smiling? See this image larger.

Ian and Connor help Grandpa Ray with his homework. See this image larger.

Kaylee goes mobile completely on her own– wait… there’s a flag on the play… the ref calls “holding” on Grandma Barb. 😉 See this image larger.

“Cuteness contest… ready? GO!” See this image larger.

Ben, Kaylee and Ray brave the cold to watch Connor’s soccer game… Uncle D, Aunt Dis, and Cousin Ian were trying desperately to catch a snooze back at home base. See this image larger.

Funny how mature they can look sometimes… “How may we help you?” See this image larger.

Ian shows off his 6.5 teeth. The new one is just to the right of the two on the bottom. See this image larger.

I love this shot, a happy accident. Brown eyes, and the shape of his head are more apparent here than in a straight-on shot. Please take a moment to look at this one larger by clicking here.

“Waiter, I ordered the Sweet Potato Puffs?” Fans of bald babies should take pics while they can… I swear even since this shot his hair has come in a bit more. See this image larger.
