Darrell & Joni baby pictures

Jasper is definitely a good combination of the two of us! What do you think? The first two are Darrell; the last two are Joni.

Video & Photos from Mary Catherine

Video taken on snowy Saturday, January 19 by Mary Catherine. The Tritts & Bennetts visited that day and Jasper kept us entertained. In the video, Jasper is walking behind his choo choo and then crawling towards Daniel's phone. By the way, yes I am wearing what appears to be blue moon boots. They are down booties - a favorite gift from a few years ago!

I got some new - and old - photos off of Mary Catherine's camera today and wanted to share!
There are pictures from October and November. Remember Jasper's "ooo" phase?
Photo of Cylia & Jasper in December
These were taken at Mary Beth's house in early January when we got to meet Abby. Jasper is crawling under the coffee table.

Jasper's First Snow

Jasper in his snow bibs! I believe Gigi bought these last summer for $2 because you just never know...and they did come in handy last Thursday. Darrell was out of school and I think snow days are better for teachers than students if you can believe that. We've had a great few days with the snow.


Jasper has learned to tolerate his hat but he does not like gloves. We didn't stay outside for very long because his hands got chilly. Below is a picture of our house in the snow!

Still celebrating Christmas

My Christmas present from my parents was to paint our great room in Benjamin Moore shaker beige. So my dad and Darrell painted all weekend while Jasper and I hung out in Lilburn with my mom. We came home Sunday afternoon to a fresh new den & kitchen! It looks great. We are going to try to keep it uncluttered as long as we can!

Here is Jasper helping the guys get started on the project on Saturday morning!
Here's our little guy crawling and cruising around after a bath the other night...
I have tried to take a picture of Jasper sitting in the corner of the couch every month. However, I am yet to get a 10 month picture because he is such a wiggle worm. He doesn't sit still for a second as you see from the pictures below.
Sunset from our front porch - goodbye!

Ah, Bay, Say

Inspired by Jasper's latest favorite toy, Darrell and I are constantly singing ABC's in Spanish.
Most pictures now involve Jasper crawling towards the camera.

We had a GREAT start to the New Year and Darrell really enjoyed his last week of holiday before starting a new semester yesterday. We both finished some books: Darrell read Irresistible Revolution and is onto some math books he checked out from the library. He is now reading e: The Story of a Number and some soccer coaching books. I finished prayer and the art of volkswagen maintenance (thanks Karen!) and about to start Irresistible Revolution and The Toxic Sandbox. We have mostly been consumed with reading CNN.com and 11alive.com about 5 times a day to track the Meredith Emerson story. It is scary and sad and especially hits home to us as fellow North Ga hikers.

Christmas 2007

Jasper had a wonderful first Christmas! We have a lot of pictures so click on Jasper below if you want to see our Christmas - New Years photos.


We spent 2 days in Lilburn and 3 days in Gatlinburg with family. It was a fun, restful holiday. Jasper was very sick the week before Christmas - he had a fever for the first time and turns out he had bronchiolitis and a double ear infection. It was Rough. But he was well enough by Christmas to travel to see family.

Darrell surprised me with a new baker's rack for our kitchen. Happy 5 year anniversary!
