Liam's Second Christmas

We didn't do much last year because Liam was a little over a month old and we had just moved into the house... we were just too darn exhausted. So, this year was officially Liam's 2nd Christmas, but it seemed like his first. Here is the big day!

Merry Christmas! The stocking couch!


Liam checking out the stockings... GM made the four on the left, and the one on the right is a dog stocking that was modified for our friend Don...

More boy pictures, and a finished project!

Here are some pictures of Liam wearing a birthday shirt from Linda - thank you Linda!



I love the look on his face here, like he is fighting a sneeze...


Cheeky boy!


Here he is wearing the pink vest I made for my friend's little girl...

The finished product! I am so proud of myself for actually finishing something! Time to celebrate! Actually, time to get working on finishing the Christmas gifts I'm making... eek!

Portrait of a boy

I got a new lens for my camera, thanks to the recommendations of Amy and Kelly - it's a Cannon 50mm 1.8. I wanted to be able to take pictures indoors without the flash, and this lens is perfect - and very affordable! Here are a few pictures of Liam, taken in our living room... he looks very serious, as he had a fever and was pretty grouchy.

Christmas Tree 2007

We went to a local tree farm to find our Christmas tree on December 1st... here are some pictures!
