Xander's Birthday Party!

We're back in Omaha and have so many things to share.  I thought I would start with Xander's first birthday party!  Xander had so much fun playing with everyone and loves all of his new toys.  Thanks to Gema for sending us pictures :)

Week 12: Wedding in Lincoln

Xander had a busy twelfth week so far.  He went to work with his Dad every day and even traveled to Lincoln for Alex and Vanessa's wedding!  And on top of it all, he went through a growth spurt and none of us got any sleep for 3 days.

Here are my boys getting ready for an early morning out on the UNO football field:

Another great picture of Xander's parseltongue:

Sioux Falls Cont.

Here are some more pics of Xander visiting everyone up in Sioux Falls. Xander even hung out with his Great Papa! We had a very good time up there and the trip back was amazingly short ( X slept the WHOLE time )
