They really meant it. Jillian is starting early it looks like.

Jillian is 10 months old! Well, almost 11 at this point. Her first birthday is right around the corner, which is hard to believe!

It was Jillian’s first Christmas. We had a very nice time, though it was busy as usual. Jillian was not too into opening presents, but she did and does enjoy playing with her new toys! We had a lovely time at each stop we made for Christmas and were happy to be able to go to Pittsburgh for New Years Day. We had a nice end to 2009, now on to 2010!

When it’s snowy and nasty out, I like to think of better weather times. Like the time Aaron and I went down to VA and showed up at Josh’s house for camping and paintball!! This was not that long ago, September 18th. We had been planning this for quite a while with Josh’s wife and he was totally surprised when we ran into his house with our Shindig jerseys on.

Here’s the pics and such that never got posted before. Enjoy! I hope more people can make it out next time, see all the fun you missed? That means you JJ, Ziggaman and Jimbo!

These two pics are kind of funny. You have no idea how dark it is in the forest at night until you set off your camera with the flash on right in someone’s face. What ensued after both these photos: “Gahhhhh what are you doing?!?!”

Yes that is an air mattress. I took one. I slept on one. Best night of sleep I ever got.

Awesome time, awesome friends.
