We had a wonderful Christmas with our various family members. We look forward to seeing what the new year has in store for all of us.
We've added 2 new albums to the pictures page: Dakota - Christmas 2009 & Dakota Various - 6 Month.
♦ My Videos ♦
(If you want to hear the sound in the videos without the music playing in the background, you need to mute the background music. To do this, there is a slidebar at the bottom center of the screen (this is the background music). To the left of the "X" on the right end of the bar is a speaker icon with the volume bars. If you click directly on the speaker icon it will mute the background music).

Baby to Love
Beginning with the moment we learned you were on the way,
You stole both our hearts from that very first day.
From that moment on our love for you grew,
Whether boy or girl no one yet knew.
Almost from the start our troubles began,
But giving you life was always our plan.
Struggles and fears paved a long rocky road,
Yet you continued to thrive in your humble abode.
Despite all odds our journey progressed,
So as expecting parents we readied the nest.
Just two weeks early was your time to come,
At the end of the day we’re blessed with a son.
We waited and watched and then our time came,
The moment we held you our lives weren’t the same.
The joy of your arrival was the news to share,
With all family and friends that would always be there.
We brought you home and settled you in,
We love you now as we loved you then.
Watching you learn and watching you grow,
We love you more than you’ll ever know.
It’s amazing to us how the time flies by,
You’ve gone from our little boy to our big guy.
We’ve seen the wonder of many learned firsts,
Watching you discover our hearts could just burst.
You’re face is handsome and disposition sunny,
You laugh from your belly as if everything’s funny.
Into our lives you’ve introduced new things,
We look forward to seeing what each new year brings.
Into our lives we’ve brought you my dear,
Ever losing you is our greatest fear.
We don’t know what the future may hold,
But you’ve blessed our lives more than diamond or gold.
We thank God in the heavens above,
For blessing us with our sweet baby to love.

On December 23, 2009 we opened presents with Dakota at our home. It was so much fun watching him open his presents. He got pretty good at ripping the packages open. I think it was the colorful paper that drew his attention, but it was still fun...

Oct. 12, 2009 - Hi everyone, it's update time again. There really isn't a whole lot to tell this time. For those of you that have been following along, on our last update, we had just begun using some antibiotic eye drops on Dakota's eyes. Well, as of this weekend, we've completed the cycle for those, but they really didn't do anything. I'm not for...

Oct. 1, 2009 - Welcome back everyone, it's been a while. Well, to pickup where we left off, on our last update Dakota had gotten sick with the flu. Luckily, for all involved, that passed very quickly. However, we've had a lot of trouble with his little eyes lately. There always seems to be a yellowish discharge out of the inside corner of both eyes...

Sept. 10, 2009 - Hello again everyone. Well, our little Dakota has come down with his first bug. To catch you up, Dakota was really fussy last night. I didn't know what was wrong with him, but I did check to see if he was running a fever and he wasn't. I tried rocking him, walking with him, feeding him; these all seemed to help for a while, but a h...
