We're still alive!

Even though it seems as though time just instantly stopped on our blog, the truth is that I've been extremely lazy. I (Toni) went back to work in mid-November and got distracted from my motherly IT duties. We have, however, been able to keep up with our picture site, so be sure to check out: http://mcewanfamily.shutterfly.com/.

So here are some of my most recent favorites in our adventures with Camryn.
The second week of November, Cami got to meet Aunt Stephanie for the first time. We had lots of fun playing, going to the Zoo, and Steph even got to go to a Notre Dame football game!

Right before I had to go back to work, we had the chance to get together with all the other moms and babies from Clarian to celebrate our time together. We tortuted the kids with our silly photo ops!
The 3rd week of November, all 3 of us went on a retreat in Brown County, Indiana with our marrieds class at church. Cam was the only kiddo there, but she behaved extremely well and was a perfect angel for her first night away from home. In this snapshot, she and daddy-o are hanging out in the room.

Camryn also had her 2nd "official" photo shoot for her 3 month pictures. We got a few good ones even though the portrait studio was running behind while Cam ran out of patience. Our favorite is the one with her tongue out - very true to her personality.


Thanksgiving was a blast as we celebrated in typical "Fasone fashion" with 3 days of feasting with the Holders. Gloria and Gina loved spending time with Cami and we loved having them over.


In December, Camryn got to meet Santa at the Trader's Point Creamery just down the road. After meeting the "big man" we had lunch with the breast feeding gang. It was so much fun to see all the kids again!

The Christmas season was filled with lots of adorable outfits, books, parties, and food. We had a chance to celebrate Christmas a few days early with the Priest family. It was fun for us to see all the little Priests interact with Cami. Wes & Melanie's little boy, Keegan, loved all over Cam-Cam. And Audrey and Emerson couldn't get enough of the little baby. Below is a picture of Cam with Great Aunt Mimi, Cousins Audrey and Bailey.

Christmas morning we opened presents at home, and Camryn loved the tissue paper! We enjoyed a delicious french toast breakfast followed by presents in our new pjs! Cam made out really well with a whole library of new books from both mom and dad. We also got a baby food maker from Grami & Grampy which will come in handy in another month or so!

We also had the opportunity to travel to New Jersey over the holidays to see the McEwan family! Our visit was short but filled with quality time with "G" and "Pops" McEwan (Sharon & Bob) as well as "Pop Pop Pop" (Great grandpa Neil). We also enjoyed spending quality time with Stephanie (Toni) and Jimmy (Rob). We're excited to bring Camryn to Ocean Grove next summer so that she can begin to develop a love for the beach.

Our January has gotten off to a great start and we are looking forward to seeing how our lives will continue to be blessed in 2010!
