Merry Christmas from Santa's Little Helper

Horse Ride Video




Wiggle Worm Video




Here are a couple of videos to enjoy. The first one is from yesterday and as you can tell somebody loves to hear the sound of their voice. The second one was taken a few weeks ago and he has since gotten much faster wiggling around like a worm. The first item to really entice him was Mark's wedding ring but as you can see it goes directly to his mouth when he finally catches it.

Enjoying a drink at Happy Hour




Lounging at the Pool





Our trip to Mexico was truly a visit to Paradise...we had the greatest time and as you can see Dennie enjoyed every second. He swam every day, played at the beach, and even joined us at happy hour :-) Everyone fell in love with him and the Mexican women had no problem taking him out of our arms to embrace him. As usual he smiled and went along with it.
There are more pictures to come....so many good ones its hard to choose.

Growing Up

We took Dennie to get pictures taken and these are few of our favorites. It's hard to believe he's a year old already and getting bigger every day. He looks like such a big boy in these pictures!

We're off to Mexico tomorrow for the week. We'll have lots of fun pictures to post when we return. Happy Thanksgiving to all! xox

More Birthday Fun

Dennie had a great birthday weekend. Not only were we blessed with beautiful weather but Dennie got to spend time with his grandparents who came to visit from New York. We took a walk to the lake and Dennie had so much fun playing on the playground with Grandpa & Nana.

There are still more pictures from his birthday that I'm waiting on. Also the video has been difficult to post but I'll keep trying.
Enjoy these pictures for now! xox
