Photo Shoot

Our friend Danica did a photo shoot with Miles the other day. She did such a great job, making him laugh...and somehow keeping him in frame of the camera. Seriously, I don't think he has ever looked cuter. Here is a selection of my favorites...if you are dying for more (Mom) there is a link to the whole session under photo albums. A great big THANKS to Danica for the great photos. I can't wait to get some more!

Ravioli Night

 
 
 
We have been making fresh pasta at home ever since Thanksgiving. My sister Jen had recently visited Italy and bought a Chittara (a really authentic pasta maker). She made the whole family fresh pasta while we were there and we got hooked. The other night we decided to try our hands at ravioli. It was James' first time...and he did excellent. Miles was so interested in the whole process, he had to watch the whole time.

Miles is 6 months old!

Miles is now 6 months old and is just so much fun. He has two bottom teeth and it getting his two top teeth in. He loves to roll around on the floor and has started scooting around on his belly. Pretty soon I am sure I will be chasing after him. Here is a small selection of the many photos we have taken. Hope you enjoy them!

Christmas at the Dayley's

We went to Texas for Christmas this year. It was nice to get out of the freezing cold weather and especially nice to have so many extra hands to take care of Miles.

Graham Cracker Houses

We had the Sovanne kids over the participate in one of our favorite Christmas traditions. I think they really loved it. I was upstairs with Miles for quite some time and James had told them that the only candy they could take home was what ended up on their houses. They quickly decided that they not only needed to cover every inch of their graham crackers, but they filled the insides with candy too....smart cookies. We had some friends over to do it a few days earlier, and people really showed their creativity. We had a church with a bell tower, a tiki hut with a pig roasting on a stick, and James tried to make a boat.

Miles is a growing boy...

Here are a selection of the many pictures we have taken of Miles over the last few months. He is such a joy; always smiling and happy. We are trying to enjoy every minute of it.

Let the Games Begin

My Mom always tries to out-do herself and this year was no exception. We had a relay race in the cultural hall with all sorts of fabulous toys. Our team won of course...

Thanksgiving at the Checchio's

We had so much fun this year going to Utah for Thanksgiving. Grandma Checchio came wich made the trip that much more special.

Pumkin Carving Night

Here we are carving pumpkins with the Kemps and the Andersons. It was a blast. Chris brought the tiniest pumpkins ever and had to use James' power tools to get through them.
