Baby Easton

Baby Easton

Aunt Nellie and Uncle Jason welcomed Easton (9lbs 6oz) December 20th. We're so excited to welcome another family member! Easton did have to spend some time in the NICU for an elevated bilirubin, but so far his levels have been low enough for him to stay at home sweet home. We're looking forward to dinner tonight at the Sicher's to welcome his arrival!!At the hospital with a day ( not even) old Easton. Autumn is all about the baby. We did have a mini crisis intervention when she tried to feed him a peanut M&M at Aunt Nelle's house yesterday. She has shown genuine concern for him while he's been sick, which is so sweet to watch.
Here's a pround Uncle Miles and cousin Autumn.
Here's Autumn in her new dress Grandma Lori sent out. She loves loves loves her dresses which I find to be very funny and cute. This dress is very special, she enjoys showing everyone the squirrel.

Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. The highlight was welcoming the newest family member Easton, Autumn's new cousin. Christmas Eve we spent the evening at Uncle Rich's and Aunt Kim's house enjoying family. Christmas morning we spent together as a family, which was very special to me. I enjoyed Miles and Autumn as we had some low key time together opening gifts. We had dinner with Grandparents, while Nellie and Jason were able to get away from the hospital long enough to sit down and enjoy some grub.

Autumn got a dancing dog from Aunt Suanne and Uncle Bill. She placed it in the dog cage on this particular occasion...

Thanksgiving 2008

It's been so long since I last updated the blog I don't know where to start. We've been busy wrapping up the end of the year and getting ready to start all over again. I took my last final the second week in December...another semester down, three more to go! I feel like there might be a light at the end of the tunnel after all...
We were able to enjoy some time with Lucas and Krissy over the Thanksgiving break. It's always nice catching up with Lucas, and it was wonderful to meet his girlfriend Krissy. Miles informed me he had a great time going out with his two brothers and drinking some beers. He already misses both Nate and Lucas and wishes he had more time to spend with them both. On a side note...Lucas has inspired to Miles to register for a triathlon in Wash DC in September of next year. Let the games begin...

Here's a picture of Autumn in her new outfit Aunt Cate got her for her Birthday. She loves the sweatshirt and always wants to wear it to this day! We were able to visit with Cate the weekend before Thanksgiving when she came into Pittsburgh. As always...we love it when she visits!! I especially enjoyed our night out, and walking around the Andy Warhol Museum.
