My First Road Trip

Hangin' Out with Aunt Laura and Jack Jack



Tummy Time on Grandma's bed

Me and Great Great Aunt Gladys

With dad gone at Cursillo, mom and I headed over the river and through the woods to gran'mamas house. First we stopped at Aunt Laura's and Uncle James' house, where I got to meet their cat. Then it was on to Gran'mamas for the weekend. I got to meet my grandaddy for the first time, and we went to Fayetteville to see the "ladies", including my great great aunt Gladys who is 94 years young! We had lots of fun, and gran'mama even let me sleep in her bed (but only for naps!).

Hail Ye Festival Day!

Anna has been marked as Christ's own forever. Cue the paparazzi!

Ellen & Ben's friend Jeanne very kindly served as the celebrant and preacher for the baptism so that Dad could be a Dad. Check out Jeanne's very cool blog at rememberyourbaptism.blogspot.com (which includes her fantastic sermon).  Thank you Jeanne!

Anna, parents, and Godparents.  Anna is the one in the middle.

Lots of family, lots of love

It's the night before Anna's baptism, so lots of folks are here who want to hold the little one.

Granmama is back and Anna is not so sure about this pacifier doohicky.

Tina and Martin are enamored with their Goddaughter. Can you blame them?

Grandma Nina has a very soporific effect.

Uncle Andrew seems a bit bemused.

Oh my

Anna can't wait to meet so many members of her family at her baptism, but the house is a mess!

Good Morning

Dad got a video camera!  Here is the first riveting episode featuring some AM vocalizations (note the mug in the background).

Big Yawn

This growing stuff sure is exhausting.

Hanging out with Dad

Is Dad's chest just that soothing or is he just that boring?

Farmor is here!

Farmor (Father's Mother, a.k.a. Paternal Grandmother, in Danish) is here for a visit.  Velkommen!

Taking a snooze

On the 11th day of Christmas, all is calm.

Asleep vs. Awake

Which Anna do you prefer?

A joint Retriever-Muppet endeavour

Bailey and Elmo stand watch whilst Anna sprawls out on a blanket.

Happy New Year!

Anna stares off wonderingly as she ponders all that will happen in 2008.
