A Happy Pirate New Year to Yar!

Argh and Happy New Year's to you all. My friend Robyn gave me the good idea of embroidering some onesies for Frankie. So, I went to this great fabric store Crafty Planet with Coons and got some pirate themed embroidery transfers. The one you see below is a cute little pirate boat. Hope you enjoy the pictures. The first one is a random smile in the middle of a crying fit because Frankie was super tired and didn't want to pose for any of mom's crazy pictures. I guess he'll have to get used to that. Hope you all have a wonderful night!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to all you faithful readers out there. We miss you all and wish you could be here to celebrate with us. We are truly thankful for all of your love and support this year and feel extremely blessed to be a part of your lives.
Today Grandma Nancy, Grandpa John and Auntie Allie came down for a visit from Duluth with presents galore. It was wonderful spending time with them. Frankie's been unusually hungry and cranky the past day and we think he's going through a mini growth spurt. Grandma Nancy did a great job calming him down between his feedings. Grandpa John took a good snooze while cuddling Frankie after lunch. Auntie Allie made a fantastic camouflage blanket for Frankie with his name that he loves already! We spent time playing cards and holding the kiddo.
Frankie's cutest picture this week!

Franklin Loves Auntie Leah!

This weekend Auntie Leah came to visit from sunny LA on the coldest weekend so far this winter season. Frankie and Auntie Leah fell instantly in love, though Frankie got a little annoyed at the amount of kisses he received from her. We all decided that Frankie's new nickname is Pig-Lo since he has an overly healthy appetite. Here's some pictures from Leah's visit! We love you and miss you already NERD!
