More Pics

This is a picture of Alyssa and Ambrey in their Christmas dresses that we traditionally get for them each year.
This is one of the first pictures that we took of Anna once she arrived home from the hospital.
Renee and Jayda flew all the way from Utah to see the new baby.

Janna and Anna at breakfast time in the hospital. If you look in the upper right hand corner you will see the bed that I slept in while they were in the hospital.

Renee got to be the first extended family member to hold Anna.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all. We enjoyed this version of 12 Days of Christmas from Straight No Chaser, and thought you might as well.

Anna Kay Vincent has Arrived

Today was Janna's birthday, and for her present she received:

A 7 pound, 1 ounce baby girl, who is 20 inches long, with what appears to be red hair.

Happy Birthday Janna, we love you

Happy Birthday Anna, we are thrilled that you finally decided to join us

School has Ended, Baby Begins

Schools out for winter! I cannot tell you how excited I am to have the first semester over. I have about one month off until next semester starts.

Janna gives birth in the morning. She is excited, but also nervous. Stay tuned for pictures, my goal is to get a few on the blog tomorrow.

Alyssa's New Glasses

For those who do not know, last week we discovered that Alyssa is nearsighted. After a trip to the optometrist Alyssa came away with a pretty new pair of pink glasses. The glasses also came with a hot pink carrying case (sorry, no picture). The most important thing though, is that she has told us that she can see the board at school better now. Alyssa also informed us that Janna's "lines are straighter" too.

What a pretty girl.

Happy Birthday!

Happy happy birthday Mother and Shannon dears, happy days will come to you for years. If I had one wish then it would be, a happy happy birthday from you to me! I mean to you from me.

A few quotes for the two mothers

And a fun one just for Shannon:

Ha, ha, ha. Just kidding. We love you!!!

Snow at last!

We woke up this morning to somewhere between six and eight inches of snow. This is the second time that it has snowed in the last two days, but yesterday it only snowed about an inch. The locals have told us to plan on not seeing our grass for the next five months.
