James's First Christmas
We headed back to Kansas City for Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa gave James a sweet new ride!


Mom and James on Christmas morning

Definitely more interested in the wrapping paper...

Lounging around with Grandpa

The suitcase served as a really nice bed for James....just the right size!

Yeah, ladies, eat your hearts out!

Dad's already teaching James bad habits....

James's First Thanksgiving
We headed up to Oregon to have Thanksgiving with Nana, Papa, Aunt Emily, and Faith. James did really well on his first plane ride.

James wasn't really sure what to think of Cousin Faith, but she did keep him entertained!

Just some pictures from the Conway photo shoot. We all had a lot of fun with them!

Kille visit
Dave and Amy came out to see us November 7-9. It was a short visit, but we had a lot of fun.

Saturday we toured around town a bit. We went to Coors Brewery in Golden and up to Boulder to Pearl Street and Avery Brewery.

Amy and James at Avery Brewery
James actually did pretty well riding around in the car all day

Grandma and Uncle Jeremy Visit
Well, Grandma couldn't stay away, and Uncle Jeremy had yet to meet James, so they headed out here for a visit. Grandma flew in on October 28 and Uncle Jeremy on Halloween and both stayed through the weekend.


And, of course, the guys brewed beer... this time a Belgian Trippel. Jeremy was presenting a presentation on the brewing process for his speech class the following week, so they took lots of pictures of the process to include in his presentation.

Sanitizing the carboy....

The ingredients....

The brew....

Awe, brewing... there's nothing like it!

Chilling the wort....

Straining the wort into the carboy for primary fermentation

Carboy setup for fermentation

Kegged beer in the beer fridge

Moving the German Maibock brewed the weekend before from primary fermentation to secondary fermentation (lagering).

Meeting Nana and Papa
Jason's parents came out to see James for the first time on October 23 through October 26. We all had a fun time.

Jason and Al (aka Papa) brewed some beer, a German Maibock. The beer was a good choice...it turned out really well and the guys had a lot of fun brewing. But first, they had to keg the beer that Jason had lagering in the basement....
Even James got in on the action!


James and his laundry basket....he loved sitting in this for a while (until he got too big for it) and it sure made it easy for Mom and Dad to move him around the house without having to disturb him too much. Looks content, huh?
A little time with Nana....

Chillin' in the kitchen with Dixie!

James in the witch's brew kettle


We went to the pumpkin patch for our pumpkins. What do you think of the one we picked out... looks like a good one, doesn't he?
