I have returned! I was down in Raymond for almost 2 weeks and it was great! BUT...before I get to all the fun we had over the long weekend, I'm doing my ALL James post. I'll quote my dad here..."before 3 months babies are cute but useless" He said it, not me. (but let's face it, it's so true) Sometimes it's quality not quanity, but when there are so many quality...
I got the pictures that Rhonda took when James was a week old sooooo many cute pictures to choose from.
We are so happy to have James in our family. Inbetween cries he is quite the smiley baby. Alli can sure make him smile big. (and cry too, see above about to sit on his head) James is named after Derek's best friend James Cooper. They were friends from when they were 2 years old up through high school, and James passed away shortly after high school. While we were in Raymond we spent some time with James Cooper's family. It was such a fun experience to be with them and talk about their son with them while our James was there. I didn't know James C. very well, but from Derek talking about him and visiting his family over the years I am so proud to name our son after such an awesome guy. I know Derek is excited to tell our James about who he is named after, and I know someday James will be proud and excited to tell people who he is named after.
I'll get another post up in a day or 2 I hope!

If you are going to quote me quote me completely. It is true I said for the first 3 mo babies are cute but useless, but I also always say in the same phrase, "after 3 mo they are worth the price of admission!"
Dad
So many cute pictures! I love the ones of him and Alli. She looks like she'll be a good little helper once she realizes sitting on his head might not be the best idea! I love his cute little dimple when he smiles. How fun! Haha - your dad's comment was funny...and I agree. Jonas is 5 months now and he's just as cute, if not cuter, than when he was 0-3, but now he rolls over, plays with his toes, giggles...you know, the fun baby stuff. Someday..... :)
Good for people to know.
