Family Visits

After Claire was born, my parents and Matt's parents came to visit. We were very busy taking care of Claire and entertaining Colin, so we didn't take very many pictures. Here are a (very) few of the ones we did get.

It's exhausting being a baby

Our First Christmas Tree

The first Hoboken McBride Christmas tree! We have the tree and it has lights on it, but that's about as far as we've gotten on the decorations. Stay tuned to see the tree all dressed up!

Hoboken Thanksgiving

Since I was in the hospital on Thanksgiving, we decided to have our Thanksgiving meal on Saturday. It worked out perfectly because our next door neighbors, Scott and Kathryn, got to come over and share the meal (and cooking too!).

Claire is here!

Our baby girl was born on November 24 at 10:06am. She weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces and was 19 inches long. She's a wonderful baby and Colin is adjusting to her arrival very well. Here are just a few of the dozens of pictures we've taken in the last week.

Some last pictures of Colin as an only child

Trying to sit in a bucket ten times too small for even him.

Halloween

This was the first year we dressed Colin up for Halloween. Since he's my baby and I still get to choose what he gets dressed up as, I wanted to do something sweet and babyish like, oh, I don't know, a puppy or big puffy pumpkin. As you can see, I did not win. According to Matt, Halloween is a holiday meant to be scary. So, say hello to Charles Lee Ray (also known as Chucky, the death row murderer inmate reincarnated to a doll from the movie Child's Play)...





These are the pumpkins we (Matt) carved from our trip to the pumpkin patch.
