Catalina Nan Billings

Catalina Nan Billings was born December 16, at 8:56, weighed 7lbs. 13ozs. and was 19 7/8 inches long. She is a beautiful baby and has a great temperament so far. She is so sweet.




Here is a cute face for you all to see.


This was our first look at Catalina in the operating room.


Here is Griffin Meeting Catalina for the first time.


and the first time Olive June got to hold her. Both kids were so sweet with Catalina and so excited to meet her.

Here you can see them both.

One last picture of Catalina for all of you to see before I finish this post.

End of November and Cure Christmas

Here is Griffin with his most desired Birthday gift. He had, and still has a lot of fun with his microscope.


He also got a number of Super Hero costumes that he has been enjoying. Here is the Incredible Hulk.


Olive June had some thoughts about Griffin's gifts too.


Griffin wanted a "Mohawk" haircut and he got one.


After Thanksgiving was over we got our Christmas stuff out. Here are all five of our stockings hung by the fireplace with care.



Olive June in a Santa hat.


And sitting by the tree.


Here is Griffin with his next to the tree pose.


Recently we were invited to, and attended, a Cure (Cure Childhood Cancer) Christmas Party. They had crafts for the kids, entertainment, and food. We all had a great time. Griffin is making a craft in the picture above.


Olive also enjoyed crafting.


Olive June saw somebody dressed up as a polar bear and was super excited to say "hi."


Here is the bear hug.


We tried to get the kids to sit down with Santa but they were both too nervous. This is Griffin just before being put on the spot with Santa.


They got to work on an awesome Gingerbread house.


Olive June just wanted to eat all of the candy.


Finally a nice family shot.
