Jonah's Baptism

During the Thanksgiving holiday, we had Jonah baptised into the Catholic church.  His godparents are my brother, Chris, and Josh's sister Megan.  Josh's mom, Mary Ann, made a beautiful baptism gown from her own wedding dress.  Josh's parents hosted a yummy dinner after the baptism.  Here are a few of the pictures.

Jonah's 1st Thanksgiving

Boy oh boy, this little guy has a lot of firsts!  hehee.....

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our families in Evanston.  My mom and dad hosted dinner at their house with Chris, Grandma (G.G.), my uncle David and his wife Lisa, Josh's parents, and Josh's brother's family.  There were 12 adults and 4 little ones...so much fun.  The hard work paid off because the food was delicious and the company merry.  Here's a picture of Jonah in his Thanksgiving outfit...yes, we torture him with funny hats and bibs.  

Here is another one of my favorites, Jonah chatting with his cousin Jonathan.  These two cuties are one week apart.  They were having a rolling contest, or comparing notes!

Jonah's 1st Ski!

 Jonah snuggled in the Chariot

Yesterday, we headed out to the Wyoming Range to try to make some turns.  We had a whole crew; Mitch, Amanda, Charlie, Jason, and a new friend, Barb.  Plus, 4 dogs!  We skiied a bit...there wasn't much snow.  Grilled brats in a blizzard and then headed home.

Jonah was a trooper all day.  He loved sleeping in the Chariot while daddy or mommy pulled him along.

Jonah and Charlie

Last week, I helped take care of Charlie (Amanda and Mitch's daughter).  Charlie's 8 1/2 months and Jonah is 15 weeks.  It was definitely tough taking care of two little ones at the same time, but it was fun too!  Here's a picture of the two of them hanging out:

Here are some recent pictures of Jonah.  Our litte guy turned 14 weeks yesterday...growing fast...too fast.

 

 

 

Grandpa and Oma's Visit

Ken and Gerda have been staying in Pinedale since November 1st.  Jonah has loved every minute of it, so has Grandpa and Oma, and so has Mommy and Daddy!  We are going to be very sad when they go back to Evanston this weekend.  Maybe being here and getting to play with Jonah everyday will convince Grandpa that retired life could be fun.

Almost everyday, I have taken Jonah up to my parent's cabin.  They watch him all day while I have been trying to get homework done (like I am right now).  We either pick him up in the evening or they bring him down.  I think they spend most of their day  playing and laughing with the little guy. 

While here, Oma and Grandpa also had Jonah overnight for his first night without his parents.  We went to Jackson for some fun with friends and hit up the Jackson ski swap.  I scored a new pair of tele boots for $80 and Josh came away with a new helmet and used pants for $15...sweet!  It was nice to have a night to ourselves but we did miss Jonah.

Here are a couple of pictures of Jonah with his Oma and Grandpa:

Jonah spent his first Halloween having a relaxing day with mommy, daddy, and Milli.  We spent the morning getting ready for our friends, Mitch, Amanda, and Charlie to come over to eat chilli and carve pumpkins.  In the afternoon, we went on a nice walk to the park.  Daddy set up Jonah's new Rainforest Jumper and Jonah tried it out with Milli supervising.  In the evening, our friends arrived and we had a great time carving pumpkins, taking pictures, and scaring neighborhood kids.
