Merry Christmas

Crawling....Finally

We have finally hit a milestone; Evan is crawling.

Now on to baby proofing the entire house.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Suh for Heisman

He is a long shot, but we are hoping for the best here in Nebraska. This is a great story about Ndamukong Suh and give his storied background. We shall see tonight who is the coveted Heisman Trophy winner. Suh had Colt McCoy's number in the Big 12 Championship and in my ameatur opinion, McCoy should not be the recipient. Here is hoping he wins it for all the guys up front. The above picture is Suh after he intercepted then Colorado quarterback Cody Hawkins' pass last season at Memorial Stadium and proceeding to "step" on him on his way to the end zone.

UPDATE: Suh has been named AP Player of the Year. Here is the article.

This is a picture of Ndamukong's sister at this year's Colorado/Nebraska game. She is taking a picture of a kid that was wearing her brother's jersey. She said he is so excited when people wear his jersey.

Holiday Prep, Ear Surgery and Snow Day

The weekend allowed Liz and I to get ready for Evan's first Christmas. We did some shopping on Saturday, starting at 6:10 a.m. Evan decided that he needed to be up, so we decided to make the most of it and run errands. We started at a store that rhymes with "Fal-Tart", as my Aunt Roxanne calls it so they don't get credit, and found that is a great time to shop because no one is there.

Additionally, we were able to purchase our first official family Christmas tree from Indian Creek Nursery. I felt like Clark Griswold when the guy asked, "Do you want me to tie it down on the top of your car?" The picture says it best and I promise we did not come home with a squirrel embedded in the tree for a surpise later at the family gathering.

Evan's ear tube surgery was a great success and he came through with flying colors. Dr. Quinlan, who did the operation, stated that, "He is very mild-mannered young man and he did just great." Grandma Sandy has been visiting and spoiling Evan. Quality time with grandma, even at 9 months, is always special.

Liz and I enjoyed a shorter day today because of the snow. With everything closing in Omaha on Tuesday afternoon and evening, it was a nice surprise. We are waiting for the "blizzard" that is yet to come, but we are supposed to get around 9 inches and winds of 20 - 40 mph. We are definitely getting close and we are hoping for another snow day tomorrow. Enjoy the photos.
