Another Christmas come and gone...

Christmas this year was interesting, because not only did I have a new born baby, but I had to get surgery to have my gal bladder out the Monday before Christmas!! Yuck! So I have been somewhat out of commission for a while- but I am on the mend and doing much better :) However, because of me, we have been unable to get out as much as we would have wanted, to enjoy the holiday festivities. Jane did get to see Santa at least...sorry no pics of that though :(

My family was nice enough to come and have Christmas Eve at our house, though!! It was so nice. Here is my gorgeous sister, Christina, and her equally as gorgeous daughter, Mae, enjoying Christmas Eve at my house.
Jane loved dancing to Christmas music with my mom and Beckham...
My cute brother, Bryan, and sister-in-law, Wendy, got Jane an adorable play house for Christmas!! Here are Jane and Bryan setting it up...
Oh how Jane loved it so!! It has been aptly named..."Jane's house" and now takes up half of her tiny room...sooo cute!!
Beckham enjoyed Christmas Eve- though he slept through most of it :) What a handsome guy!!
Here we all are having our traditional Shepherd's dinner- a tradition I remember from my youngest years :) So much fun!!
On Christmas day, after our family Christmas at home, we packed up the kids and ventured out to visit the family...Here we are at Grammy's house where Jane received a very fun piano. "My pino" as Jane Says...Terry and Ryan sporting their new hoodies. Both very handsome!!
Beckham loved looking at his grandpa-although what could he be thinking?!!

Jane, who is completely enamored with everything princess, loved her princess dress, shoes and accessories she got from Santa!! Oh so fun!!Christmas this year, though different, was amazing and we are so blessed. I wonder what fun 2010 will bring to the Dick family?!

Santa Clause is coming to town...

Christmas is drawing near and we, here at the Dick house, are loving it and trying to live up this holiday season despite being somewhat home bound with our new little guy...Here are Ryan and Jane building our ginger bread house
I helped a little, too
Lets be honest...Jane mostly ate the candy while we did all the work :)
And we had my beautiful and talented little sis, Christina, take some Christmas pics of the kids...
they were greatly uncooperative for the most part!!
Beckham liked to try to be like his big sis...so cute!!
My kids are pretty adorable...if I do say so myself :)
Jane really likes "baby brother" (as she calls him)- that was not always the case...yikes!

Cutest little santa ever...

And Jane with her typical camera face- I guess she is boycotting smiling...She is still a doll!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

One crazy month...

Little baby Beckham has been in this world for almost four weeks now and it has been quite a ride. He is finally doing well after having a rough go of things at first. Between sinus infections, a milk allergy, digestion issues, severe constipation and projectile vommiting, Beckham hasn't been the happiest little guy. But we have been working tirelessly to figure out how to make him comfortable and happy and finally, he has been doing much better. He sleeps great at night now and has been eating much better. That's not to say we don't run into a few snags here and there, but overall, things at the Dick house have been calming down!!

But, boy he sure is a cutie and such a sweet, patient little man!!
We think red is really his color!!
Ahhhh, finally a good nights rest...for all of us...
He loves his pappa!!
Jane has really been adjusting well, too!! At least there have been no more sneak attacks on baby Beckham!! In fact, she actually kinda enjoys him :)
Best friends in the making!!!
We love our kids and are loving life...despite the craziness!!
