Family Pictures

One of our good friends took family pictures for us last week and these are a few of my favorites. For a great photographer in the Boerne/San Antonio area, check out JustBePhotography.net. Thanks Kristin, you did an amazing job!

Oldie but Goodie

This is one of my favorite pictures from Trip's infant photo shoot. I just can't believe he is 9 months old! This seems like just yesterday and at the same time years ago.

A Hill Country Christmas

A Few Shots of Trip in his winter hat in front of the Christmas tree.

Trip all bundled up before we headed out to the parade.

Some shots of the Main Square in "downtown" Boerne. Our little Main Street was all lit up for the holidays as well, but I couldn't get a good shot. Each weekend in December, Boerne has "Dickens On Main" (http://www.dickensonmain.com/) .... There are lots of fun activities including a Christmas parade the first weekend in December, carriage rides, Christmas music at the Main Square, and gingerbread house decorating. At the parade there is also great food ... turkey legs, sausage on a stick, funnel cake, hot apple cider and cocoa, and of course it wouldn't be Texas without some good ole Tex Mex during the holidays! Last year I was about 7 months pregnant and we went to the parade with our good friends Whitney and Max Jodry. We missed having them this year, but were able to spend time with some of J's good childhood friends, Park and Will (pictured below).

The boys spent the weekend grilling steak, fish and shrimp, making chili and brewing some beer. The outcome of the home brew is still to be determined. Currently it is fermenting in Trip's closet :)

Paci Head

These are some pictures of Trip before we headed out to the Boerne Christmas Parade. He has become quite the pacifier addict and I had a hard time snapping a shot of him before he plugged it right back in his mouth!

Thanksgiving 2009

We accidentally left the camera at home but managed to get this cute picture of Trip on Thanksgiving from J's iPhone. He wore one of J's baby outfits and looked particularly adorable in my opinion. He was especially enamored with the big fire in the fireplace - he is sitting in front of it in this picture. He sat in front of the fire for a good 30 minutes waving his arms and talking. Despite not feeling very well, he was such a good boy all day. J and I were very proud and thankful parents!
