4 Months Old

Just a quick note and some pictures of my little cutie. She is already four months now and we were able to have a little photo shoot the other day. Hope you enjoy the photos.

"Mom, why do I have wear this thing on my head?"

U of M football Game

As many of you may know, Amanda and I are U of M football fans. These past few years being grad school we have not had the opportunity to make it to any games. During this past week through a unique set of circumstances I was able to get a pair of tickets to the game this Saturday at the Bighouse. But not just any set of tickets, front row seats!! After the big comeback last week we hope to be able to witness a good game as Michigan attempts to turn the corner on another rough start season. Whatever the outcome we are very excited to be able to go a game there for the first time in years.
B., being too young to be a fan of anything but eating and sleeping will be hanging out at my parent's house during the game.

Busy..Busy...Busy

Life has been flying by especially with having majority of my time consumed by a little one!! Since I posted last we have had so much going on. We went to Tom's cousin's wedding (August 15th),
Oleg's party for U.S. citizenship (August 16th),


stayed with friends (August 22-24th)


and then came the first round of B's shots. Oh...shots are not fun. It took her awhile to get back to herself. I'd say probably around a week or so. And then we ended the month of August with getting some photos done. Those I'll be putting up later.

September hasn't been quite as busy, but we did have a funeral to attend. My grandfather passed away Sept. 8th. We believe that he made a profession of faith before he died and that gives us hope. After the funeral, we had a family dinner at my aunt's house and I was able to catch up with many of my cousins that I have not seen in many years.
