Today was a big event...our first professional pictures. Its a good thing I work for a photographer on just these days!! The session is free and the memories are the best. Alan is intimidating to most kids, so we are pleased to announce we have a camera ham...he loves the camera and he loves to put on a show, its not always possible to catch it...but its fun. Here is just a sample, don't want to ruin the x-mas cards!! He continues to do very well, the sun still bothers his eyes a lot, but everything else is coming along. We are learning some new words, so that is coming along too. Tomorrow we will have another event...the two hour trip to the nearest city for shopping and to meet the new great grandparents. Should be fun for all involved. We hope to see our ex-next door neighbors too, know they want to see him too. Don't forget...sign the guest book, even if you have signed it before, we love to read comments.
