First Smiles

Delaney started smiling last week. These are the first smiles I was able to catch with the camera (12/16/08). She gave her first smiles to her Daddy when he was talking to her. She seems to have a sweet personality that matches that cute smile. We love her a ton!!

"I keen it, mama."

We have gotten a lot of snow recently. After a trip out in the cold, we tracked some snow in on the carpet. After telling Daddy and I about the mess, Hudson ran to get his toy vacuum to "keen it up". He is such a sweet and smart boy!! We love him soooo much!!

The Woodard Blanket

This baby blanket is special to my family. My children are the 5th and 6th babies to come home from the hospital with it. The others are my dad, me, my sister Kristin, and my sister Kara. One side of the blanket is blue and the other is pink. I feel lucky to have carried on this tradition twice and hope we will be blessed with more babies to bring home with this blanket in the future.

Christmas Pictures

We had a "photo shoot" in an attempt to get a great picture for a Christmas card. It was quite a rodeo at times. Hudson was much more interested in kissing on his sister than sitting and smiling. We ended up with some good pictures, some bad ones, and even some that one may consider a bit crazy.


This one of Hudson is just plain crazy....


Delaney was a bit overstimulated. After a while, she wouldn't even look at us.


Please wish us luck for next year. I doubt a 1 year old and almost 3 year old will be much more cooperative. Gotta love my kids!!!
