Stats Up Date

Today Paul took both kids in for their well-checks....I think this will be the last time he does that by himself. Ella was getting her 15 month shots and Hudson was getting some blood taken for a referral to an allergist or a breathing specialist (the poor kids throws up all the time). We will keep you updated with what we find out!!

Hudson- our tall, lean boy

3 years old (12.14.05)

weight: 33 lbs (75%)

height: 39 inches (75%)

Ella- our short and fuffy girl

15 months old (10.4.07)

weight: 23 lbs (25%)

height: 29 inches (10%)

I knew she was short, but wow, only the 10th percent....hopefully she will hit a growth spurt soon!!

Christmas in Newby

We were able to go to Newby the day after Christmas to spend some time with Papaw and play. The kids had fun with Aunt Charlotte and playing outside in the nice weather. We were able to put all 15 of us at one table for lunch...it was so fun!! Here are a few pics from our fun day!!

The Dean Christmas

Christmas afternoon/evening we went to my parents house for a fun enchilada/tamale dinner. It was delicious!! Then we opened the throngs of presents. We had so much fun and enjoyed spending time with the whole family.

Hudson got a fun tool set.

All the girls got address stamps.

Dad with his beloved cribbage game.

We found this Willow Tree (The Gift) of a couple with a baby....too perfect for Ryan and Jen!! It was so special!!

Hudson also got a train set!! I think by far his favorite toy from Nana and Papa!!

Thanks for such a fun time with our family!!

Christmas 2008

I posted some of our Christmas festivities.....more to come later!!
Enjoy!!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning, we heard Hudson's door open.....then we didn't hear anything else. He is usually pretty good about coming in our room once he wakes up, but he didn't. We waited until Christmas Eve to wrap all the presents and put them under the tree....so needless to say, he was amazed by everything!! Hudson got everyone up and said, "Let's open presents!!" So we did!!

Merry Christmas 2008!!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went to the early service at our church with mom, dad, Ryan, Jen, and Jen's family. It was really neat, the whole family took The Lord's Supper after the service. It was a special to be able to it altogether. During the service, Ella only lasted about 10 minutes, Hudson lasted a little longer, but then we had to change a stinky!! We missed my favorite part of the service, lighting the candles. I saw pics and saw it on the screen. It still was a special service. After the service mom and dad came over and we ate pizza, made cookies for santa, mom made sausage rings and egg cassarole. We had fun hanging out and playing. We also watched ELF....Dad had never seen it and really enjoyed it!! The kids got new pajamas from Nana and Papa.
