Parker walks!

On Grammy Sue's birthday, Parker took his first steps! He spent a few days practicing with his toy but soon took off running and hasn't looked back!

Parker leaves the hospital

I know it is 16 months late...but I just figured out how to use our video editing software on the computer! More complex videos will appear as I play with it more!

Parker chases Pooch

Before Parker could walk, he cruised around the house in his walker. His favorite game was chasing Pooch's food bowl!

Baseball Fun

Parker and Grandma play with a baseball!

Sibling Love

We have proof that, at some point, Parker and Peyton loved each other!

Santa Baby!

Peyton posed in the bumbo chair with just a Santa hat on...the same picture Parker took just a year ago...which one is which?

Helicopter Santa!

We joined the Carson family at Las Posas Country Club for a visit from Santa. Parker refused to sit on his lap but was happy to accept his gift. Parker got a tickle me Elmo and Peyton got a glow worm!

Christmas Stockings

Aunt Sandy made stockings for Peyton and her cousin Colton...Peyton fits into the stocking, Colton can only fit one leg!

Big Brother...Little Sister

The kids sported their new t-shirts!

Go Bruins!

Even though the Bruins lost to SC, Parker was still too cute in his outfit!

Family Love

Thanksgiving 2009

We spent Thanksgiving at the Carson house...everyone was there. Peyton wore her new dress for the occasion. After everyone left, the kids had a Hannah Montana dance party and poor Colton got stuck with the wig...Colton Montana!

The Bumbo Chair

Peyton is now spending time in the bumbo chair...it was one of Parker's favorites until his thighs got too big. He tried it out again but got stuck!

Halloween

Parker and Peyton had a great first Halloween together. They were the SUPER kids! The whole family went trick or treating together!

Peyton Isobel Michaud arrives

A few days before the scheduled c-section, Peyton decided she was ready to join our family. She was born Friday, September 19, 2009 at 3:52 p.m. She was 7 pounds, 6 ounces, and 20 inches long. Parker met his baby sister and was not so sure about her but she will soon be his best friend!

Tommy spends the night!

When Auntie Kat went out of town, Tommy spent the night with Parker. Parker had so much fun with this cousin...they read books in Parker's new chair, played with ALL of his toys, and even took a back together. By bedtime, Parker was ready to pass out!

Cho Cho San

To celebrate mommy's birthday and her finishing her CLU administrative credential (finally), we went to Cho Cho San with the Carsons, the Spradlings, and the Silecchios. Parker and Colt sat next to each other until the flames started...then they sat with their mommy's!

The Big Birthday Bash!

August is a busy month for our family so we combined a couple parties into one...Parker's 1st birthday, Elli's 8th birthday, Rob's 40th birthday, and Peyton's baby shower. Parker had a blast at his party with all his friends and family. There was a face painter and the taco man served up lunch to everyone. It was crazy but fun!!
