Wow, I didn’t realize how long it has been since I have posted an update. Â For the long delay, I apologize. Â Things in our home have grown a bit more hectic. Â I (Scott) have returned to work with a less than spectacular schedule. Â Crystal is busy trying to keep up with Gabby while keeping Brendan calm, and the cats are appreciating any attention they can get.
Last week, before I left for work on Christmas Eve, we did have the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with my mother. Â It was a great time! Â All three grandchildren seemed to have a wonderful time playing with each other. Â There are quite a few new photos in the gallery, including a Christmas 2008 album. Â I will do my best to post more as time permits.
I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas, and wish everyone a very happy New Year!
This week has been a crazy and interesting week. Â Gabby’s first chance at Trick-or-Treating in a neighborhood, our first African-American president was elected, and Brendan had his first bath.
The previous post talks about Halloween, so I’ll leave that out of this post. Â I’d just like to mention that Gabby is STILL eating her candy.
Last week, Brendan was introduced to his little bath tub. Â He took to it a bit better than Gabby did originally. Â After he gets over the shock of being naked and not cuddled up to us, he’s actually all right in the water. Â
Through all of this, Gabby has been more than willing to help clean her little brother! (although right now she’s battling a cold so we’re trying to keep a bit of distance between the two of them)
On election day, we took a family trip to vote. Â In our little town, there was no line to vote and it went rather quickly. Â Gabby was really happy that she got a sticker and proudly wore it. Â Daddy and Gabby also ended up in the MLive web site with the photos you will see below. Â

A week of firsts and a lot of changes happening.  Gabby is getting bigger every day, our little Brendan is almost a month old, and our government will soon not look anything like it did last week.  Change is good!
