Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We're still being lazy and digesting the yummy food from yesterday's holiday! We have so much to be thankful for this year:

...Our wonderful little boy, Landon. He has truly been a blessing to us this year! We can't imagine life any other way now.

...Our new house. We are so blessed to have moved into our gorgeous new house this year. What an unexpected surprise for us and we enjoy it every day!

...Our super supportive family. We have been blessed with huge amounts of help from our family throughout this year. From living with Darren's Dad and Deanna for the month of August, to Darren's Mom watching Landon for us the month of May, to the whole Hegle family helping out with the big move! We can't tell everyone enough how much their love and support means to us!

...Our friends, both near and far. We cherish the times we are able to spend with our friends, even more so now that we see them few and far between!

Enough of the sappy stuff! So, yesterday at Lorie and Tim's we decided to take a few family pics outside by the pond. I must say that Ashley is a much better photographer than the ones we had a JCPenney lately! Here's the one we chose for our Christmas card:

Another 5 generation picture! Landon is much bigger this time around. We are so thankful to have so many Grandparents in our lives!
Here's to another great Thanksgiving! Looking forward to Christmas and all the craziness in the weeks ahead!

Just Call Him "Fang!"

We just have to laugh at how funny Landon's newest tooth looks! He's got two on the bottom, which he's had for about three months now, but he's got a new one on top that came through a few weeks ago! It's not one of the middle two, which is kind of odd! Dr. Fandel says it's very common. He looks like a little vampire! We're hoping for some new ones to pop through soon.

9 Months of Joy!!!

Landon turned 9 months old this past week, and it's still hard for us to come to grips with the fact that our little man is growing up! We went to see Dr. Fandel last Wednesday and here's what we found out:
Weight 21# 10 oz. 69th %
Height 29 3/4 in. 91st %
Head 47 3/4 cm 97th %
So, basically we have a really tall kid with a big head. Dr. Fandel told us not to worry about his drop in weight percentile. She said it's very common once they start moving around!
Boy has he started moving around a lot! His army crawl has evolved from a sort of side to side flopping motion to a full on army crawl over the past two weeks. He will get up on his hands and knees but hasn't figured out how to make that work quite yet. Landon also loves to pull himself up on anything he can find, especially people. I'm so glad that he hasn't figured out how to do that in the crib yet! We are really enjoying seeing Landon's personality develop...he's quite the funny guy! He loves to play "I'm gonna get you!" with Daddy. He screams with excitement when Daddy starts to come towards him. He just learned how to clap his hands on his own and loves to play patty cake with his feet! We just can't put into words how much we love our Little Landon Barry!

Skol Vikings!

Last Sunday we celebrated another Vikes victory with some of Darren's Hamline Law School buddies! Landon was a good boy, sporting his Adrian Peterson jersey!
