Christmas 2006 Pictures

It took a million shots to get the perfect Santa Man picture for our Christmas card but we were finally able to get one that we really like. It looks like Corbin is laughing in this picture.

Our very favorite gift of 2006 was our precious son! We praise God for giving him to us!

Christmas Day 2006. It was hard to get our baby back for this picture. Everyone wanted to hold him!

Daddy and Corbin on Christmas Eve before we went to Mom and Dad's house to celebrate Christmas Eve with them...

Mommy and Corbin after we came home from Mom and Dad's to celebrate Christmas Eve with them. We came home and opened all of our gifts that night. George had bought gifts for Corbin and I had bought gifts for Corbin - but neither of us knew what the other had bought him. I opened the gifts that George bought and he opened the gifts that I bought. It made it really fun! Next Christmas, Corbin will be able to help open his own gifts! Yay!

Pictures of Corbin From His Second Month

This picture was taken at Corbin's Aunt Jeanne's house by none other than Aunt Jeanne! The tree that we are standing in front of is in her front yard and was sooooooo beautiful. We had gone over there for a play date with her son Aiden who is five weeks older than Corbin (I think that the mommies wanted the play date more than the babies). I was so excited that Corbin was born in the fall because it is my favorite time of year. This picture shows the beauty of the autumn season.

Thanksgiving at Corbin's Great-Grandmom and Great-Grandpop's house.

Corbin and Dr. Fitz, the doctor who delieved Corbin. We wanted to get a picture of her with Corbin the night that he was born but she said that she would rather wait until she was in the office and more dressed up. When I went back for my two week check-up, we had a picture taken of her with the baby, but the lighting was terrible. So this picture was taken about six weeks after he was born...We have a picture of Corbin with each of the doctors at our practice since each and every one of them was involved in his prenatal care and showed so much love to us. Since he was born via c-section, each of the doctors came to see us and spent time with us during our hospital stay.

It was so fun having my whole family at graduation and being able to introduce the baby to many of my friends. Some of my friends didn't even know that I was pregnant when classes ended in May and then I show up to graduation in December with the baby (I didn't actually finish my degree until August because I needed more time for my internship). George and Corbin watched the graduation ceremony from the second story window and watched as I walked across the stage and got my diploma. It was so neat seeing them cheer me on!

Our family at graduation. The funny thing is that George wore that same shirt the night that Corbin was born. It has now been labeled as a shirt that he wears for important events.
