Trying Out My Collage skills....

I am slowly getting the hang of this blogging thing. Now I feel that I am becoming addicted. It's GREAT! I just found out how to post collages and I'm still learning, so bare with me. One new thing at a time. Heather you have me hooked now! I love it!

Dare To Be Crafty

All of those who know me know that I am not good with a needle and thread (Mark can agree with me on that). I can't sew a hole shut in a piece of clothing or fix a button on a shirt, but this Halloween I will be making Brennan's first Halloween costume and hopefully more in the future. Brennan and I have decided he is going to be a skunk. Right now we felt it was the best costume to best describe him, you know along with trying new food comes not so pleasant baby smells. So, I will be keeping everyone updated on my progress as I get out the sewing machine and get artsy fartsy. Wish me luck!

Brennan's Date With Jesus

I am starting to take Brennan to church every Sunday. This is his first Sunday and he loved it. He was so well behaved (well he's only 5 1/2 months he really can't misbehave) and loved listening to the music and seeing all the people. We plan on having him baptised here in Maryland and we are working on getting things arranged for him to be blessed.We will keep everyone updated on when his baptism will be.

Night Owles

At 2:30am on a Wednesday morning I woke up to little baby giggles and jibberjabber. I turned on the lamp on my nightstand and I see "little man" staring right back at me with a huge grin on his face. It's time to get up Mommy!!!

It's sleepytime Brennan....

Weekend With Mark

Mark came home for a long weekend and the three of us spent some well needed quality time together. While Mark was here visiting the family in Maryland, he was able to play soccer with Jeff on Tuesday night. It was a lot of fun to watch. Mark was beat by the end of it, but I think he had fun just being able to play with his brother and some friends. Naturally I forgot my camera so I do not have any pictures of the soccer game.

Time to eat Mommy!

Brennan's First Foods

Brennan Loves his dinner.

Chew it up good Pumpkin!

We just started Brennan on some veggie's. He is definitely not a picky eater. So far we have had squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, greenbeans and we can not forget the rice cereal. Soon to come are peas, sweet peas and fruits. I'm sure once he gets a good taste of mommy natures candy(fruits) he won't have anything to do with the veggie's, but we will see what he has in store for us.

Bathtime With Brennan

WEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Brennan loves his bathtime. It's one of our favorite times of the day. He splashes, kicks, plays and loves to get Mommy and Grandma all wet. By the end of it we are soaked, but we have a happy, squeeky clean little boy.

Our First Blog

Currently I am staying in Maryland for a short period of time while Mark is in and out of port with the ship. Mark's ship will be heading to sunny San Diego to stay and he has been given the opportunity to take the ship over with the crew. He will be flying back to us after they arrive.

Sleepytime......

Temporarily, I am working and Brennan is going to the babysitter (which he absolutely loves). On our long 5 minute journey Brennan passes out from a hard day of playing and is extremely difficult to wake up. Wakey! Wakey!
