Christmas round 2

We spent Christmas day with the Grissinger side of the family. Nolan was spoiled by his grandparents and aunts and uncles. He was very happy to open more blocks!

Jusko Family Christmas

We celebrated Christmas early with the Jusko side of the family. We were fortunate to have all the Jusko family members at our house for lunch and a gift exchange.

Proud Grandparents

Blocks

Nolan really enjoys playing with his blocks, especially when Daddy can join him.

Smile for the camera

When we ask Nolan to smile for us while taking pictures, we get a lot of different reactions. These two are particularly cute!

Christmas is coming...

Today we spent some time decorating the house for Christmas. Nolan loves pointing around the room at all the new sights and he especially loves the soft Christmas toys he can play with.

Thanksgiving Day

This year we were thankful to have 4 generations celebrating at our table. 

Preparing for the feast

Nolan enjoyed helping Mommy and Daddy cook for Thanksgiving. His new favorite kitchen tool seems to be the rolling pin.

Tuckered out

This is Nolan after a morning of Christmas shopping. I was able to pull into the garage, get out of the car, go into the house and get the camera and he didn't move a bit! He was exhausted.

At the table

This is one of Nolan's favorite ways to play at the coffee table...

Captivated

We don't usually let Nolan watch TV, but the first ever Carrier Classic was on and Daddy wanted to watch, so we made an exception. Both are captivated by the big event!

Fall fun

We have had some really beautiful fall days. Nolan has enjoyed playing in the leaves and making them "crunch"...and, of course, a trip outside with a little boy wouldn't be complete without playing in the rocks.

Big news

Nolan has some news to share with his family and friends. He's proud to say he's going to be a ...

That's right ... baby Jusko #2 is on its way and will arrive around May 20!

Where is your costume?

This is as close as we could get to a costume with Nolan. We bought him an adorable monkey costume, but every time we went near him with it, he ran away yelling, "No!" We'll settle for a smiling bat any day!

Happy (delicious) Halloween!

It's time for fall!

Playing in the leaves is lots of fun!

Florida time!

We got to spend some fun, quality time with our good friends the Fountains! We took a trip to the zoo and to the beach. We even squeezed in time for finger painting and a boat ride.
