Italy

Alli got her own seat on the plane from Poland to Italy (what a big girl!)



She caught a short nap during the flight.



Our first meal in Italy was...pizza of course!



Trevi Fountain was beautiful



Allison loved the scenery on the train ride to Pompei



She made friends everywhere she went, even on the train (the little girls didn't speak any english)

Fun W/ Pictures

This is some cool new software I downloaded that lets you play around w/ the color of pictures. This is one of my first tries. Pretty cool huh!?

Our First Family Portrait

Our church took this photo to put in the directory. It's not real good but it's our first portrait as a family. Alli looks really cute anyway!

Hi Everybody!

Random Pictures

If you click on the pictures, it will make them bigger. I don't know how many of you are aware of that. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are very "thankful" for the bib that Sheila gave us. It came in handy while Alli was enjoying her first turkey leg! We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

My First Portraits

Mom and Dad took me to Sears to get my pictures taken yesterday! It was a lot of fun! The lady taking my picture kept trying to make me smile with this cute little bear. Anyway, the pictures won't be ready for a couple of weeks but I have a preview for everyone. I hope you like them.

Love,
Alli

HELP!!!

He's trying to eat me!

Henry Robert

Chrissy and I are excited to announce that we have a new nephew! Billy & Kelly are the proud new parents of a beautiful baby boy! Henry Robert was born 11/16, weighed 9 lbs 15.5 ounces, & was 21.5 inches long. Kelly and Henry are both doing great and are scheduled to go home Friday. Allison is SO excited about having another cousin! That's all she's been talking about. Just the other day she said "Dad..I wish our family wasn't so small. It's not fair that I only have 20 first cousins. I wish I could have another one." Now she does! The first picture is of little Henry. Man he's got a lot of hair! The others are Allison & Henry meeting for the first time. I think they look a lot alike!
