Well we had a busy trip back to Indiana for Liam's first Christmas, where the weather ranged from -13 and icy to 65 and sunny! Liam met tons of relatives, aunts, uncles, great-aunts, great-uncles, second and third cousins, and of course the grandparents! We all felt a little under the weather from all of our travels, but had a great time seeing family and friends.
Icy Mess in Valpo!
Well, we are getting ready to head home to Indiana for the Holidays! We made the rounds to the Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach Christmas parades the past few weekends. Liam wasn't too interested :) But he sure seems to be growing up these past few weeks - he is holding his head up better, and is getting much more vocal. He can even pose and do the "Al Bundy" for his daddy, Greg is so proud. He'll be meeting the rest of the family soon!

Late Saturday night, December 13th, I was about to go to sleep when I heard what I thought was the usual PB police/fire siren.聽聽 I made my way to bed, but then I kept hearing more and more, and the rumble of large diesel engines seemed to be really close.聽 My next thought was that they may be closing the street for the parade tomorrow, but I wanted to make sure.聽 I went up to the roof and to my surprise, the apartment complex two houses down was on fire.聽 There was a lot of smoke, maybe 4 firetrucks, 3 ambulances and several other emergency vehicles.聽 Jess and I really love our rooftop, but I never thought it would be good for a front row seat of firemen attempting to rescue our neighbors by chainsawing through their roof!
Anyways, I happened to take some video, most of which is grainy since my little canon camera isn't the best at dark videos.聽 Very scary stuff overall, but I don't think anyone was hurt from what I can tell, and that old apartment has seen better days:)
We had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Roberts and Aunt Stephanie for Liam's first Thanksgiving! Mommy and Daddy got to go out while the babysitters where here, but we sure missed Liam while we were gone!
Grandma and Grandpa bought Liam his crib, so we have that all set up now. He took a nap in the crib the other day :)
Liam sure gets a kick out of Daddy's beard, which seems to be a permanent fixture lately.
Grandma and Grandpa Roberts are in town, so we got to go the big football game this past Sunday night. The Colts pulled off a big win! We were brave enough to wear our Colts jerseys among all the crazy Chargers fans, but it was worth it. We had great seats and we had a great time, but we did miss Liam while we were out. We caught a glimpse of John Madden before the game - he is quite a large man.
