Brrrr...

We're cold and happy in Zionsville with lots of sledding and visits from friends...and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new baby cousin any day now...we can't wait!

...and a Happy New Year!

...and Christmas was merrily continued at Grandma and Grandpa Beckman's festive home on the lake. Uncle T, Aunt Em, Aunt Kim, Uncle Eric and sweet baby Koleton were all in attendance, which made the Holiday that much brighter. Grandma Carol had the Brio train ready upon arrival, which was a hit - of course. We were excited to meet our friends Jenny, Dave, Drew and Maddie at Entertrainment Junction to see the most incredible train display ever! Henry was most interested in the Thomas play tables, but will surely enjoy the amazing train displays in the future.

We spent a superfun New Year's Eve in Zanesville, Ohio with our Jersey friends Dave, Erica and sweet baby Porter. While Tim and I couldn't wait to meet little Porter, Henry was most interested in Dozer, the 70 pound Boxer, and continues to speak of him today. On our way home from Zanesville we were welcomed at the Columbus home of our good friends Liz, Nick and Stella for a delicious dinner, great conversation and some sweet playtime with Henry and Stella. Thanks friends for such a fun time!

Henry continues to "Boo-Boo" (Choo-Choo) constantly and is never without at least one train in hand. He sleeps with "Bobby" (Thomas), the Boooo (blue) train and spends most of his day at his new train table arranging and re-arranging his trains. He now has quite a selection of trains, and loves all shapes and sizes.

We are ready and excited for 2009...hope to see everyone in the near future.
