Nana's Visit

Nana came to visit us for two weeks and we enjoyed every minute! She never tired of snapping pics of Julius, and what Nana would?! So I blogged just a few of each photo shoot. We did a lot of things around the house. Nana spoiled Mommy a little and bought her lots of cool scrapbooking accessories, which I can't wait to use!! (The Cricut!!) She bought Julius a few toys, clothes, etc. We also set up the beautiful crib from Nana and Greatgrandma Linda. Nana made the crib bedding and we love it! While she was here Daddy came home from his two month deployment and Uncle Johnny came to visit for a few days!

We travelled to Seattle with Nana and Uncle Johnny. While there Uncle Johnny felt it was his mission to sabotage every innocent tourist picture he could...notice the nice family pic going on across from him on the fountain :) I think his final tally was 5 at the Space Needle...
We travelled to Scenic Beach State Park and decided to try and find some geodes...so Nana and Uncle Johnny happily busted open lots of rocks...sadly none were geodes :) oh well, we tried Granny :)

Hanging out with Uncle Johnny...gosh he looks comfy!

Thank you everyone for coming to visit us! We have a wonderful family and are so grateful for all of you!

A few extras...

Purple potatoes!! I had to buy these at the Market in Seattle, so Em and I enjoyed them with our corned beef and cabbage! Yum!



Julius enjoying the outdoors with the dogs. We have a nice patio and when it is sunny we go outside!!


Nana is here for a visit and she put up Julius's crib, here he is enjoying the mattress :)

And here is our BEAUTIFUL crib! Julius loves taking his naps in it!

Aunt Emily's Visit

We got to spend two awsome weeks with Aunt Emily and Gabby! Here are some of the fun times!

Gabby felt like it was her responsibility to keep Julius's paci in his mouth at all times!


Here she is pointing out to Mommy that Julius has a paci...eventually she mastered holding the paci in with one finger :)

Valentine's Day: Happy 2 months to Julius! Yes his pants are too small already and I just bought them!

Resting on the driftwood on Second Beach at La Push.


Apparently Seattle was too much for the both of them!

We are so grateful that Aunt Emily and Gabby came to visit us! We had so much fun! Hopefully we will get to see them again soon, maybe when the new little Fox joins the world!

Julius's Paci

Gabby is a big helper when it comes to Julius! She loves to help with is "paci" the most! She is also very protective of him when it comes to her Mommy getting too close :) She obviously feels like since her Mommy takes her paci, she may take his too! Enjoy!

Aunt Katie's Visit

Getting some cousin time with Galina! She's a huge fan of the polar bear jammies!
We visited the Pike Place Market in Seattle...tons of fun! I loved it, Katie wasn't too thrilled with all of the "interesting" people wandering around :)

Rachel the Pig: sort of the mascot of the Market...not sure why...

Aunt Katie knew exactly how to put Julius to sleep!

La Push Beach: Twilight fans!

Galina loved giving Aunt Mimi rocks, so of course I examined each one and then secretly placed them back on the gound...we have to leave some rocks for all of the other tourists!

Galina enjoying a little bit of the ride, Julius doing what he does in the car...

Daddy and Me

Just some cute pics of Nick and Julius...

"I don't need mistletoe to get kisses" :)

Dinner at Famous Dave's...yummy!

Christmas morning...not as early as I'm used to :)

One of the last newborn outfits that Julius fit into :)

Sleepy time!
The morning after our first night home from the hospital...we were all exhausted!
