Officially Crossed the Line

We have become "those parents".

You know the ones that are sitting obliviously behind you in the restaurant booth, while their kid hangs over the top of the booth staring at you and body slamming the seat every 10 seconds. The ones that let their kids run all over the grocery and block the aisles. The ones that you wish would just leave and take their spawn with them!!

Yep, put our names down on the list.

Tonight was our Christmas Party at work and everyone wanted us to bring E along. This sounded like a good idea because Emily is usually all smiles.

Not so much today.

See she missed her afternoon nap because we picked her up from daycare early...'Lina needs her beauty rest. The child screamed bloody murder almost non-stop the entire time we were at the party. But, don't think an inconsolable baby would prompt us to leave the party in any hurried fashion.

Finally, after almost 3 hours of walking around, bribing with binkies and bottles and passing her around, we took the irate pumpkin home. She passed out less than 50 feet from the parking lot.

What's really bad, is that we contemplated going back for just a split second.

And the "Parents of the Year" award goes to...

Oh Christmas Tree!

There was something to Guillermo's right

The enamel was bright

Fernando!

(got to love ABBA)

Yes, Emily has a new tooth to keep Guillermo (the first tooth) company.

I tried to get a picture of the chompers, but they were shy...again!

But, I am not complaining too much, because I got these in the process.

And my personal favorite...

Prayers Needed!!

Wonderful things could be in the works for two good friends of ours.

Please, please keep them in your prayers over the next couple of days. I will give you a hint, it involves babies. Both couples would be so grateful to have a child to love and shower with affection. They would be great parents. And in one of the cases, the child is already here, and it would make the biggest difference in his life! He needs to be with them!

Please pray!!

I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!

We took Emily to see Santa yesterday. She asked for a pony, diamonds, a Bentley and a year's supply of diapers, formula and baby carrots.

Here are two videos from our Santa Encounter:

Unfortunately, events took a traumatic turn when E realized that Santa was uber creepy and wailed for the whole North Pole to hear! We are still pretty confident that she will stay on the "nice list".

Happy Birthday Aunt Ami!!

Robin, the photographer, is wonderful!!

If you live in the Austin area, you must make an appointment to see her. We started with maternity photos and have taken Emily every 3 months for portraits.

Amazing and beautiful photos every time!

Plus, she has an awesome blog! I look at it all the time, even when I am not waiting for pictures.
