Happy New Year, from our crib to yours!

EDIT by Kevin: I rejected some comments by accident! If you made a comment within the last few hours and you don't see it please repost if you would like. Daddy doesn't seem to know how to moderate properly. :)

P.S. Miss Hannah slept through the fireworks without stirring a bit. She had just had her 9PM bottle and was very sleepy. For people paying attention to the audio, you may note that I start counting down about 5 seconds too late... The "Live" TV broadcast that we were watching must have been delayed!

  2. Don't you just love watching her sleep-- I remember when mine were first born, I could just lay next to them and watch them forever.. then so sweet to see them smile first thing in the morning...

    you are lucky she takes a paci..A close friend of mine adopted 2 from China and at 9 months tried to get them to take one, not as easy as trying to teach a newborn to take one-- did you know ahead of time? so prepared the 2 of you already with a cute paci keeper!!
    with love from,

  7. Where did you get that adorable paci clip? We still have not purchased any and we keep losing them or they get incredibly dirty! Just need to find the time to get one!

    Happy New Year! Are you ready to come home yet?

  12. ok, so I didn't have time to watch the video earlier but wow, oh wow, I had goose bumps just watching it! So cool! Did everyone have to evacuate or could people watch from inside 101? might be a dumb question...

  18. Are you guys on your way home yet? Safe journey! Take care!! Now that you have a little one underfoot, has your incredible organizational ability taken a hit or are you just as organized as ever? Thanks for sharing your "ride" with us! Hopefully 2009 will be calmer for you. More of a merry-go-round than a roller-coaster!! Have fun with that beauty!! And congratulations. Again!!
