Christmas 2013

We had a fun Christmas this year.  Calvin gave us a blowout, lots of smiles, and 7 straight hours of sleep.  He is such a good baby.  Mark got me an opal pendant and some clothes.  I got Mark a Nexus 7 tablet.  Our car broke down on Sunday night, so we will also be getting a new car in the next couple weeks (we are not excited to have to be making a car payment though).  Here are some pictures.

Here is Calvin all bundled up to go to Steph's house on Christmas Eve.

Great Grandma Hulse got Calvin this tiger.  He likes it.

Grammy Jo got Calvin a fun book for Christmas.

This is the first smile I've captured on camera.

Merry Christmas!

Sushi and White Elephants

Mark likes to experiment with cooking.  A couple of weeks ago, he made some sushi.  The first roll was really big and fell apart.  After making a few revisions, this is what he ended up with. 

It was really tasty (and that's from someone who isn't a sushi fan).  I look forward to his next experiment.


A different happening in our family is that we got a "Mr. Bean emergency diaper" in a white elephant game.  So, of course we had to take pictures of C in the diaper.  He's such a cutie in it. 

New Jammies

When I saw these Christmas Jammies at the store, I knew that Calvin needed them.  He looks so darn cute in them.  Also, we introduced him to the binky and he seems to like it.  Enjoy a couple of pictures. 

Two Weeks

My little buddy is two weeks old today.  We have been having an adventure trying to figure everything out together.  I think we are slowly getting an idea of how everything is supposed to work.  Several times a day, I tell Mark how much I love our baby.  He is such a sweetheart and I love watching him grow.  He is already growing fast.  We love our little boy!
