December Travels

Tye's Christmas present at home was a train table and train.

South Haven

One of my brothers, my sister and parents live here.
My mom took most of the South Haven pictures with her nice camera so I only had a few.

Grandma & Brooke

Grand Rapids

We met Cameron, Tye's NICU buddy, in Grand Rapids for the evening.

Cameron's new baby sister, Taylor. Yes, Marisa had a full term

baby after many months of bed rest.

Cameron & Tye

Cleveland

Tye's good friend, Sienna. So cute sleeping together.

Opa & Brooke at the Browns game.

Shaunea, Sienna's mommy and my good friend, and Brooke

at the Browns game.

Another night together. Jim, Shaunea and Sienna

share their home with us when we are in Cleveland. It's so much

more fun to be with friends rather than in a hotel.

Ludington

We ran up to Ludington for the evening to go to

their Christmas parade and have pizza with Bob's family.

Bob was in Cleveland so my mom and dad took us with a stop

in Grand Haven on the way.

Grandma Vincent & Brooke

It was a ton of traveling for one month but fun to see everyone. Tye suffered upon returning home from the lack of routine in the eating and sleeping departments. Next trip may be condensed to make sure his health is not compromised. We are planning our next trip in May to attend a wedding. We are looking forward to visitors here in Idaho in the spring and summer.

Recent Pictures

Playing with his sis...supervised of course!

Warn out. Notice the fly swatter by her head...yes, Tye woke her up a couple seconds after I took the picture.

Showing off her sitting skills.

Brooke crawling

I can't believe I haven't updated the blog since October. Brooke has really grown up in the last two weeks. As seen in the video she started crawling and she is getting faster everyday. Today I was putting a load of wash in and here she comes trying to pull over the garbage at my feet. Definitely making changes around the house to make it safer for her. She also started sitting up well enough to walk away. She can go from sitting to crawling and vice versa without falling. A couple weeks ago she got her first two teeth on the bottom and is now working on the top two. She is still very easy going and happy the majority of time.

Trick or Treat

Our gorilla and his banana...Bob had to go to the BSU game on Halloween so we just hung out at home for the day. Adam and Beth came over for dinner (KFC - the guys choice). There was lots of trouble sharing between Austin and Tye but we managed to get through it. Some days are great and others just aren't. After dinner we went over to the Miller's for trick or treating. Tye warmed up quickly after realizing what he was getting at each door. We took a break for awhile and had snacks and watched the game. Then Marty and Bob took the bigger kids back out. Bob said Tye was running from house to house saying, "thanks" at the house. Then he would instantly say, "next house". It was a good Halloween!

Brody was precious as Yoda. His big brother was superman.

Showing us his treats.

Brooke enjoyed Trick or Treating.

Gannon went as a rock star like his Uncle Tyrone and Channing went as a Jaguar's cheerleader.

Tye and Gannon giving Brooke kisses.

Pumpkin Patch

We visited the pumpkin patch this year with the Engroff's. The kids had a good time but it got cold at the end. Tye was actually shivering so we went to have BBQ.

Tye & Austin

Watching the pig races.

Tye loving on his sister!

He has done it alone before but this time mom had to go with him.
