Merry Christmas to all.

Not sure we'll ever be able to top this Christmas. Like Gavin said "Everybody's Here!" We had my mom and dad from Colorado, Tom's parents and the arrival of Killian. Gavin asked Santa "Do you bring shishing poles?" and he was very excited when Santa had left him one Christmas Morning. Hope everyone had a great Holiday. Love, pam and tom xoxoxo
We didn't think Gavin had it figured out that Tom was Santa because he just played right along and even acted really shy everytime Santa came around. Then during our annual Soup and Santa party Gavin turns to Tom in front of everyone and said "Papa~go put your costume on!" Chelsea is saying Shhh... It was pretty funny. We can't pull anything over on him. He did have a ton of questions about the reindeers though.

Christmas at our House~Peace on Earth

We have had so much fun taking pictures and staring at the new baby I haven't had time to add any updates. All is well here. The grandbabies are Great. What joy they bring to us. Merry Christmas to everyone. Love, Tom and Pam

GAVIN MEETS HIS NEW COUSIN FOR THE FIRST TIME.

How the Family Cheerleading Team's Day went....

We started out in the hospital lobby

Barb (Tara's mom)giving us an update. Barb is also a nurse and was a great help to Clay & Tara in the delivery room. It gave us great piece of mind to have her in there.

Then we decided to move to the cafeteria.

Then we moved to the secured doors where we could look down a long hall at the delivery room door and watch for any action of nurses coming in our out.

We just heard the news that he is here. This picture Tom took makes me tear up everytime I look at it. We were so happy he was here.

The proud daddy telling us the details.

And finally we get to meet him. He is gorgeous!

Daddy and Aunt Chelsea giving him his first bath.

He has really big feet!

Then Tara & Clay were asking for cheeseburgers. As Tom and I went to get them for the whole "team" it reminded me of the day Clay was a little boy and hit a Grand Slam and we rushed to Arby's to get the whole team lunch to celebrate!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

HE'S HERE AND HE'S PERFECT

Tara (and Clay) had a long, rough day but Baby Boy McCarty is here and is perfect. He was born shortly after 8pm. Weighed in at 8lbs, 1 oz and 21" long. His feet are Huge, and he has long blond hair. I'll put more on later, but just wanted to post a couple pictures so you could see how beautiful he is. p.s. he may not be fitting into those cute newborn outfits....

We're waiting patiently...

Happy Birthday Mom. We love you very much!!!

CUTE POEM FROM MY NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET; DAN & LISA

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey, yams and mashed potatoes
Green beans, ham and stewed tomatoes
All make for a handsome feast
But among it all, these mean the least.

For it is each other we hold dear
And cherish near this time of year.
So among the celebration and the lovin'
I'd like to announce: "I have a bun in the oven!"


Love,
Dan and Lisa
