Thanks heaven for little girls...

Me and my sweet Annalyn right after I got my wisdom teeth removed. She was so sweet while I recovered - she played by herself and was so nice to my friends who came to help me out.
Sherise means "chipmunk" in Ancient Phoenician - didn't you know?

My sweet girl right after we went on a walk. She came strait inside and wanted to play with her tricycle. Look at all those teeth!

I love her cheeks!

And here are a couple videos for you enjoyment. Annalyn is growing so fast. Here's just a little taste of her fiesty personality and mad skills!

The Last Month of our Lives...

The Oldhams: Travis, Sherise & Annalyn

Christmas Morning 2009

San Antonio Texas

Thanks to Jeff, Nell and Kaitlyn for letting us come stay the week of Christmas! It was so great to spend the time together with family!

Here's Annalyn opening her new baby doll! Look at that face!
Annalyn showing off her new Christmas Jammies!
Sherise's Christmas! Travis took me to see "The Lion King" musical christmas day! It was indescribable! I was blown away at the costumes and loved every minute of it! What a great Christmas memory with my sweetheart! Thanks babe!
Annalyn on her new trike from Grandpa and Grandma O.
She loves to push it around the living room.
Sea World San Antonio!! Wow the world of animals is so much more fun when you have a little one to share it with! Annalyn was enthrawled the whole time we were there!

Annalyn having a little drink before watching the Shamu "Christmas Miracles" show!
It was a pretty chilly day for Texas, but enjoyable none the less.
Annalyn just stared and stared. She couldn't take her eyes off the whales! She didn't cry or whine or try to get down the whole 30 minutes which I think is a record of some sort ;-)

And after a long day this is what we ended up with...awww...Annalyn loved playing with her big cousin Kaitlyn! You got along so well for the most part...even when Kaitlyn would sit on Annalyn and try to ride her like a horse (it was so funny)
New Years Day!!! Here's Mommy and Annalyn helping daddy take down the Christmas lights. Okay we just watched, but we looked so cute we had to get a picture.
My sweet baby! She cut tooth #5 and tooth #6 during the Christmas holidays. Look at that smile!

Just me and my dad...me and my bestest buddy!
My New Years shirt! Mom and dad made me go to bed at normal time on New Year Eve...bummer.

Travis and I had a quite New Years Eve at home. We played several two player games and read a book out loud to each other (a favorite pasttime of ours - I'm getting quite good at my different voices if I can say so myself...you'll have to ask Travis for a real unbiased opiniont though. Maybe I really stink and I just don't know it ;-) Then we had some Sparkling Cider on the rocks to ring in the new year (1/2 hour early cuz we were tired) and we went to bed. It was actually really nice to just spend some time together.

Annalyn and Daddy playing with her new blocks/legos! Daddy made her a giraffe and 10 seconds after the picture was snapped she demolished it! So fun!

Well that's a quick update. There's more to come soon.

For those who didn't get it...

MERRY "LATE" CHRISTMAS

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Daddy is learning how to post today....
