Christmas with the Millers

Snow (or as Caleb calls it, "NOOO!")

Santa

This and that...

Caleb loves horses :)
All bundled up!

Caleb and Dadda on their way down the trail at my parent's house in WI... on the way to see the horses again.

Of course, we had to sneek in some bath time with Caleb's cousin Emma- and of course we had to take a picture so that it could end up on their graduation picture boards someday :)

And here is Caleb at home, helping me clean :) Sometimes, it's nice to have a child with mild OCD.

ya, it's been a while

Here are a couple more pictures from Caleb's photo shoot back in August. Beth did an outstanding job. Check out her site at http://www.adoreuphotography.com/

Orchard Day!

Well, we are back. Sorry it's been a while for our few blog followers. I've noticed that we've slacked on blogging since becoming big "facebookers"...

Anyway, here are a few pictures of our day at the Orchard. It was a beautiful day with great friends :)

First Steps

Caleb took his first steps yesterday while the Millers were all here! In 2 weeks, he will be 1 year old, which is hard to believe. We celebrated his birthday early with the Millers yesterday so that Rhianon could be with us before she leaves for Guam tomorrow. I'll post those pictures as soon as I get them from Rhianon. Enjoy!

Rachel and Brandon's wedding

Well, it's finally over....thank goodness!! Weddings are so much work!!! It was a beautiful ceremony though, and a FUN reception. Rachel was a stunning bride. I'll post more pictures once I get them...

Summer, Summer, Summer-Time....time to sit back and unwind...

As many of you know, I am on summer vacation- for 3 full months! Woot woot!

I am enjoying my time and my family. I just got back from WI and had a great time! Unfortunately, Russ was not able to come with us- so that made it not as great of a time as it could have been...but here are a few pictures to share with you all...

No pictures please!

A Day With Grandpa Miller

Katie Winne's Birthday Fun!

We all got to act like kids again (not that we usually don't...but...)... We surprised Katie at Craig's Cruisers and it was a blast! Here are a few pics from the event...

It turns out that I (Amy) am pretty fierce on the go cart track. Just as Dana and Jeff.

This is supposed to be our "fake smile" pose. However, if you look closely, you can see that some people (RUSS) did a psycho smile instead...

This is our "awkward" pose. This is our "awkward hand" pose. Russ and Katie definitely win this one!

Easter

We had a great time with the Miller's this Easter. Of course, I am going to let you all know that I, Amy Miller, won the Miller Easter Egg Hunt. Of course, maybe it was because Katie Mika wasn't there this year, but I'll take the victory nonetheless. :)

A day in the life of Caleb

During the day, Caleb likes to play, play, play! He also loves Frodo as you can see from the picture below...
Of course, Caleb likes to spend a big part of his day eating...but sometimes he just can't get it right...

When it's time to wake up from a nap, Caleb always wakes up with a smile!
After a long day of eating, playing, and sleeping, Caleb enjoys bath time.

Finally, the day is over and Caleb is tired out. Usually he will go to bed about 8/8:30 and sleep until 7 or 7:30 and wake up happy and ready for another fun filled day!

It's been a while...

Here are a few updates on our happenings since our last post before Christmas. Enjoy!

1. Christmas with the Cottrell's: This year we finally came to the realization that our family is way too big to fit into anyone's house. So, this year, we all went to the lake house in Northern Wisconsin. We rented it without really knowing how it would fit our family, but it turned out to be great! We had lots of fun playing games, eating, playing broomball, and spending time with the fam. I can't wait to do it again next year! Below is a picture of Caleb with all of his cousins!

2. Christmas at the Miller's: This year, Rhianon and Heath were here with us! We had a blast with them and were so thankful for the time spent with the WHOLE family together! Caleb was happy to finally meet his Aunt and Uncle as well :) Here is a picture of Caleb with Auntie Rhianon.

3. Skate and Capes: For Megan's 30th birthday party, we all ventured over to Livonia for Megan's Skate and Capes party. As you can see, the theme was Super Heroes. We had so much fun!

4. Caleb is now 4 months old....and SO much fun!! He makes parenting easy...really! He's been sleeping great, eating great, growing great....he's pretty dang awesome :) (brag brag).
