Scarlet's Visitors!

In the last few weeks, we've been lucky enough to have several different visitors!  First, Scarlet got to meet her Grandma Linda - which meant a weekend of virtually nonstop snuggles for our girl and lots and lots of happy smiles from the adults in tow.  <3

Next up - we were lucky enough to have Aunt Yoriko & Uncle Neil grace Manitowoc to meet Scarlet!  Such a fun visit that went far too quickly.  Scarlet and I are already conspiring on how we're going to get them to come back to this region when the weather is a bit more livable!  :)

Much love to all our visitors!  Thank you for making the journey! xx

A 6-Week Catch Up: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

So, I was just looking at my sister's blog about the "Beehner Christmas" gathering and having a haughty, "there are hardly any pictures of Christmas on there! haw haw haw" moment (though I've already teased her about this very point)... and then it occurred to me that I hadn't even put up a single entry!  Who was I to criticize?  Not one to willingly surrender my right to criticize, I figured I could right this blogging wrong.

Christmas this year was spent at la Casa de Chenhalls because MJ wouldn't permit me to stray too far from the delivery room (she's never been the caution-to-the-wind variety).  The Chenhalls were gracious hosts, with a full house, lots of love, presents, drinks, and sheepshead: the way Christmas was meant to be, right?  Right.  Unfortunately, our photographer of the day, Kei, was involved when all of the above was going on, so our photos are of a slightly more random variety, like feeding babies, haunting doorways, and clearing out frozen gutters.  Also staples of a good Christmas, clearly.

Nonetheless - here are a few moments from our Christmas and my final days with Aika still in my belly!

Christmas regulars, a debut, & a cameo

Close ups!

Gutter problems?  Who you gonna call?
G-Bob!

Though to give credit where it's due: I'm pretty sure this was Kathy's brilliance gone right.

Shock me shock me shock me... Alice looks melt-your-heart-adorable whilst eating.

Alice's melt-your-heart-adorable eyes make some sense when you see her mamma, eh?

Creepiest Christmas Photo contender... My disembodied head will. get. you.

j/k j/k - Merry Christmas

"Say, have you seen Oscar?"

Those damn paparazzi don't let poor Alice eat in peace.

Come out and join this crazy bunch, Scarlet!!
