Big blue eyes and big belly:

Jacob's Baptism

On Sunday, we witnessed Jacob Philbrook's baptism.

Liam's first church service. He was excellently behaved: slept through the whole thing!

College friend, J.W. Steves, served as Jacob's sponsor. Godfather jokes abound!

Jacob took the sprinkling with a great attitude!

I just had to get a pic of this little girl's dress. What a cutie!

Our family.

We Made It

Here are some photos from our first couple of weeks in Austin.

In my desire to see the new Harry Potter movie we sought out a bottle that Liam would accept.

This first was a failure.

We found a winner on the second try. Thanks to the Playtex VentAire Advanced we got to go to the movies! Unfortunately, The Halfblood Prince was a bit disappointing.

Up and down:

Looking for a smile:

Nope.

There it is!

We went to the pool with the Philbrooks. Little Jacob enjoyed his time in the water, but Liam is a bit small for the swimming diapers.

A shot of Matthew and Leif working on replacing the Philbrook's faucets. It was a long, long process, but the boys finally claimed victory over the sinks!

Shreveport & Dallas

Enroute to Austin, we spent a couple of weeks in Shreveport and the Dallas area visiting with family.

We sarted out with a manic dinner at Grandmother's house with my sisters, Elizabeth & Rebekah, and their kids, Madeline, Sarah Grace, & Henry.

Madeline is great with Liam and her baby sister, Sarah Grace.

Liam and Sarah Grace--2.5 months apart, same size!


All the cousins. We look forward to adding a 5th when Rebekah has her second in January!





Leif, his sister Erin, Liam, and I went to Mansfield, TX to see Grandma and Grandpa Sherry for the weekend.

Liam got to meet his Grandpa and have a good rock.


Back in Shreveport, we went to breakfast at Strawn's with the Caughron family (in from Dallas on the way to Vegas, baby!) and my BFF, Carrie.

Liam with his Aunt Carrie.

Melissa with her eldest daughter, Ainsley. I unfortunately didn't get a photo of baby Amelia.



On the way to Austin, we stopped in Dallas to have a quick visit with Mamaw and Papaw.

Liam was fussy, but we couldn't pass up the photo-op.
