Our Angel Turns Six Months Old


On December 13th, Jane Elizabeth turned six months old.   She is now able to sit up, crawl, and say "ma-ma-ma-ma" and "da-da-da-da," although she uses these "proto-words" at random.  Janie is a pleasant baby and smiles all the time. This Christmas has been the best yet for Beth and me, as you might imagine.

Holiday Travels with Janie

For the Holidays this year, we traveled around, visiting friends and family.  We spent Thanksgiving in Ohio with the Haswells, Christmas was with the Roberts in Iaeger, and then the Petersons and Carvellis on the 26th and 27th.  Click here to see some of the pictures.

Janie travels fairly well, if you can catch her at a sleepy time, but we discovered that evening travel (during her normal "cranky time") is not pleasant for anyone.  Click here to see the rest of the holiday pictures.

Since we are accumulating so many pictures of the special kids in our lives, we're creating an all-kids gallery.  The gallery currently features Louis Michael and J.C. Rae Carvelli, Sue Ann Pratt, Jordan Matthew and Cady Ann Potter, Nathan Tyler Kim, and Savannah Lenee Roberts.

Brian Gets a New Niece

Since the summer of 2001, the Carvellis (Brian's sister and her family) have been the foster parents of Sue Ann Pratt, a beautiful three year old girl.  After several legal proceedings, Sue Ann's biological parents' rights were finally terminated in the fall, and Angie and Paul have decided to adopt her. (They have asked Brian to represent them in the adoption proceedings.)  Sue Ann gets along great with her new big brother Louis and little sister Jaye C.  Click here to see some photos.
