Indiana

We were able to take a trip to Indiana to see Grampa Bryant (Wren's only living great grandparent) in Speedway and the Vargo Clan in South Bend. Sadly, we didn't have the camera with us. :-( But it was great for Wren to meet her Great Grampa and all those crazy Vargo relatives!

Christmas Day

We had Santa Claus at our house and then spent Christmas Day over at the Bryants. It was fun hanging out with Grammy, Grandy, Aunt Jess and Uncle Pat. Poor Wren stayed in her Christmas pajamas all day!


Look what Santa brought me!


I love my laptop computer that Cici gave me.


Look at all these presents!


Christmas wears me out!

Christmas Eve

Cousins Wren & Ryan in their pretty Christmas dresses.

We had a nice Chrismtas Eve at my parents' house along with Stuart, Lauren and Ryan. Mom fixed a yummy dinner (with her special rolls of course) and we had a good time opening presents. It was great to have Wren with us this year and we are looking forward to the many more to come.

Aunt Lauren, what are you doing to my hair!

I've got great friends!

What a great Christmas present - all of the gang was able to make it for a Christmas get-together. I don't know if it will happen again, but thanks to Steve, we have a picture to commemorate the event.

Settling In

Wren is settling in like she's been in Huntsville since the beginning! Samanhta (the big dog) scares her a little but I'm sure she'll come around. We had dinner with our friends Brian and Sandy and among other things, they gave her a little car. This is one of her favorite toy. She loves sitting on it, putting thins under the hood, and trying to scoot around on it. So far, she can co backwards pretty well but forward is a little hard right now. :-)


I'm a happy girl!


Yep, I know I'm cute!


I'm not sure about this big dog!



I love my car (and the remote)!


Sammy's lookin' pretty.

Home for Christmas

We arrived home in Huntsville on December 20th. It felt so good to be there and to see little miss Ryan. How I missed that niece of mine! She gave us a big welcome (along with my mom and dad) at the airport. Luckily, our plane got home in the evening so we were able to have some supper with Jason's family and then go right to bed. Wren was happy to meet her grandparents, cousin Ryan, and Uncle Pat. I was afraid that all the traveling so soon after we got home from China would be too much for her, but she’s a trooper and a really good traveler to boot.

Lucerne

December 15&16, 2006

We had a really fun time on our trip to Lucerne. It took about 4 hours by train to get there. It was beautiful but very cold.

Weekend in Verona

December 2 & 3, 2006

We spent the weekend in Verona. It's only 2 hours away by car. We had a nice time seeing the Roman Amphitheatre, Roman Arena, and of course, Romeo & Juliet's Balcony. We also took a couple of rides on the carousel in the town square.
