Taking A Ride on the Gator

A friend of Dave's drove down from Tennessee with his family for a visit in the Florida sun. Their son Lucas was quick to befriend Dylan. He gave him lots of love. Sometimes even a little too much love. In one of the pictures you can barely see Dylan's blue outfit since Lucas was hugging him.

Happy New Year!

We rung in the year 2010 with Uncle Andy and his girlfriend Rachel. Dylan got to spend some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa (aka-sleeping), while we ventured to downtown St. Pete. Looking forward to a wonderful year full of great experiences with our wee one!

What is THIS??

It was Dylan's first time in the highchair. We were preparing him for his adventures with solid foods! Not only did he get to explore his highchair, we also gave him a spoon to play with.

More Christmas Celebrations...

The stockings were hung...


family and friends...





Dylan loved opening presents. Just like everything else, he was so excited to rip the paper and get it in his mouth.


And, soooo sleepy after all the holiday fun....

A Winter Wonderland for Baby's First Christmas!

We were so excited to brave an airplane trip and head up North to my mom's house in Vermont for Dylan's first Christmas. We booked a flight out of Orlando so that we could hop on a direct flight and not have to worry about connecting flights or weather delays from multiple places.

Dylan was pumped to get going. He was going to meet some more members from my side of the family.

We THOUGHT we could pack lightly!! Turns out we had two big suitcases, two carry-ons, the diaper bag, and a ski bag(which is huge...it fit a pair of skis, poles, a snowboard, boots, and clothes to protect them from rubbing each other). The real trick was getting all of this luggage plus the baby in his carrier to the check-in counter. Can't you just see Dave's brain working to plan the proper connection strategy?


We weren't sure how traffic would be so we left way early (a shocker for us!) and had some time to relax and play some cards in the airport before the trip.


All buckled in and ready to go...


FINALLY got to meet Grandpa Osmer! My dad met us at the airport and was a huge help when we were trying to juggle picking up our luggage and getting the rental car.


Once we got the car loaded up with all the luggage, we headed out for Bubbe's house, which was full of family who had come together for the holiday.

Hobby Time!

Dave has had a guitar for a VERY long time, but just recently he has gotten back into it. He has learned quite a few songs I have requested and Dylan loves listening to him play. Its nice to all sit together and enjoy Daddy's new/old hobby.
