| Meet Dawson, Jamie and Dylan's newest cousin (#18): Kendall Marie. She joins Rachel (David's sister) and Kyle's family, of now five. Born August 7. |
 |
| Christmas Day was spent at David's parents. Here are the eight cousins on that side. |
 |
| Poor Dylan has had enough picture taking already...and there are still more parties to go. |
 |
| Daniel usually has a super cute, melt your heart smile in photos, so I thought this face was funny! |
 |
| That's more like it! |

| Grandpa and Grandma O came to visit in the hospital when Dylan was just a day old. |
 |
| Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Mike, Nathan, Jonathan & Megan came to visit this week also. She is just three days old here. |
 |

 |
| This is just a reminder to myself (and others maybe) not to throw away any of the kids handmake ornaments, no matter how junky they seem now. Look how cute this one from young David is, that I found on his parents tree! |
