Meet the new man in my life...

Hello everyone!  It's good to be back after experiencing the craziness of having a newborn!

Not that the craziness has totally subsided... :)  I'm sure fellow parents would say something to me along the lines of...

"Oh, Denise....It's just beginning!"

I am so excited about this new adventure of parenthood and should probably add making-stupid-faces-at-my-son-until-he-cracks-a-smile to my list of favorite weekend activities.

Without further ado, meet our little man and a wonderful gift from God, Brayden....

Brayden's First Christmas

He likes...

Smiling at silly faces, Daddy's voice, and "singing" along to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

He doesn't like...

Being sleepy, pans clanging at Red Robin when he's trying to go to sleep, and interrupting mealtime for a burp

New tricks...

Rolling from tummy to back, doing a 180 in the crib, and grabbing the toys on his activity mat

Interesting fact...

Brayden's name combines the first three letters of my and Brandon's name with a "y" in the middle.  This was totally by accident...it wasn't until he was about 2 months old that we realized it!

Back to School

 Yep, that's right.  Backpack, notebook, pencil...the whole shebang.....well, sort of.  

I'm taking a photography class....Intro to Digital Photography...emphasis on the INTRO.  I'm really enjoying it so far.  It's unlike any class I've ever taken (no calculators needed!).  

First assignment: A photo essay of your favorite place portraying why it is your favorite place and how it makes you feel.  

Can you guess what it is? No worries...I'll tell you at the end. :)

My favorite place: Home on a Lazy Saturday Morning.

Hope you enjoyed!
