from the iphone

the new fire pit!

playing with sister

a little mark from Sophie while we were painting the nursery

these footprints could be found on our new hardwood...

no big deal

just letting a nice breeze in...

hahahaa

this was 'new door day'

and yes, I had some anxiety about the locks and handles being placed on the marble counter top

helping the carpenters with the doors

look what I found!!

figuring out how to take his shirt off - which makes for a nice addition to his obsession with removing his pants

Eloise's play date with cousin Chloe!

happy birthday to me!

I have always LOVED balloons - but this time it was confiscated by Eloise and Hudson

Emma Kate even had a turn

Enjoying the nice weather

Thanks Bubba, Auntie Ali and Adele, JJ and Uncle Michael for the manly truck

Just look at those curls...I. just. can't. cut. them!!!!

We have been talking about getting him a hair cut since Thanksgiving...

you see how that has gone...

Beethoven Broderick

Where is it??

My new favorite thing - asking him to find things and he walks around like this and talks gibberish

echo, anyone?

This little peanut had a murmur found day of discharge at the hospital. I know this nice Cardiologist, who happens to be her father, that was on call the day it was found ;)

We did a little check up on her - and cousin Lillian and Hudson had a chance to get their hearts checked out, too!

The main event was actually to take a look at Baby Johnson - baby should be here so soon!!! Can't wait :)

5 months

We have a very happy 5 month old baby girl in this house! She smiles so much - I think she is trying to make up for lost time after feeling so puny for the first 3 to 4 months of her life!

Hudson didn't want to miss out on the photo shoot..

the many expressions of EK

surprise!! haha...

christmas photo dump

Christmas 2012 in a nutshell.

went to birmingham.

enjoyed seeing everyone.

was able to have everyone at Christmas on both sides of my parents families for the first time in forever.

had a teeny tiny snow one morning.

sister and I wrapped these creepy old dolls that we both hate and gave them to each other. such love.

had a second wonderful Christmas in Savannah...

I could be forgetting something - that wouldn't be unusual.

enjoy!

these are all-kinds-of mixed together. I don't have the time or patience to fix them.

Santa's cookie! 

...or Hudson's cookie - he had a few bites and then shared with Emma Kate

Santa came!?

A mini-dyson from Mamamo and Dadade

Shouldn't have let him open that one first - I am not sure he even noticed a single other present!

...nightmares...

We were all so happy to spend time with Yoder - especially these two wild ones!

Our long lost friend!!! So happy to see Carrie

Another big hit - Hudson's truck!

Where Pat and I got engaged :)

Cutest gift. I have played with these a lot - they aren't for me...but I LOVE them. Thanks Ang!

Christmas morning!
