Christmas Eve With Our Little German Boy

Little Wesley loves Gram's Christmas Tree!!  He especially likes to take the icicles and snowflakes off the tree!  Gram bought lederhosen for him when she came to Germany when he was born!!  

Cousin Izzy is just the cutest little girl ever!  She had so much fun opening gifts--what a true girl!  She even tried taking some of Wes' toys, but he was NOT having it!
The little kid table!  What a big boy!!  Brett (5), MeMe (5), Liam (3) and Wes (1.5)!

Shopping!!


We spent the day at a real mall!!  I was in heaven, but was on my best behavior!  Mike and Lori let me pick out some early Christmas gifts, so we headed right to MiMi Maternity!!  Wes had fun sitting on Santa's lap and riding the escalator with Grandpa!  He had even more fun playing in the kid's area, a great addition that every mall should offer!

Bathtime at Gammi and Grandpa's!! uh-oh!!!

Wes had lots of fun taking a bath in the big tub at Gammi and Grandpa's!  He totally lost track of what he was doing and where...


Just kidding!  It is just a log from his new animal set!!  This one is for you, Daddy!

The Blarney Castle and Stone

It was a really cold morning when we reached the Blarney Castle, and we could barely see it from the path.  Luckily, it turned out to be a nice day.  We were so fortunate that we didn't have to deal with crowds and we even parked right next to the entrance!

Kissing the Blarney Stone...Didn't realize what a hike it would be up the castle staircases!  I cramped for days afterward.  My doctor has said no more castles...and send him a post card!!  I'm confused!!  Since we now have the "gift of gab" from kissing the stone, I think maybe we'll have a little chatty baby girl!!!  Who knows!!!

Our Pumpkin

I guess John was being modest and didn't post these pics when I was in Sardinia!!  It was fun for Wes to watch him carve the pumpkin...When he was finished, he showed me that he carved the teeth to match Wes'!!  Four on top and 3 on the bottom!  Wes loved pumpkins this year!  He still wanted to carry the carved one around!

Fall Fun!

John finally had time to rake some leaves and spend some time outdoors!  Wes sure enjoyed the opportunity to help and play with the dogs!

Yummy!!!  Just like the dogs!!

Notice all the leaves that are still on the tree limbs...guess he'll be doing this again!
Wes is signing and saying "more" because he wants the ball back!
Ha!  I got it and I'm taking it away!

Happy Halloween!

We spent our Halloween eve in one of the hangars on base with games and treats!

Gammi, Grampa and Auntie Kristie!!

 A little late here...but a few weeks ago we had a wonderful visit with Gammi, Grandpa and Auntie Kristi!!  It's so great to be able to visit pretty regularly while we live so far away!  Wes loved all the attention and was proud to show off his walking skills!!  

Wes and Kristi in Luxembourg...I love this pic of him with one of his godmothers!!

Kristi's birthday party!!!  Hats and birthday cake!!  She was so excited to see him go to town with more cake!!
