Just a bunch of smiles

From between Christmas and January 20th or so.

First Christmas

Arthur's first Christmas arguably started the weekend of his Christening, when we got and decorated his first little tree.







The three of us then drove to Connecticut, where we spent Christmas day introducing Arthur to his mother's [HUGE] family.

He met his great grandparents, Thomas and Mary Jane




And he met his charming second cousin Charles Miller III, or Tragh (pronounced Trey).

Arthur Thomas Stuart: no longer a heathen

On December 13th, Arthur Thomas (Moore, so suck it, Aquinas) Stuart was welcomed into the Catholic Church and cleansed of original sin. Devon's brother, Colin and sister, Brenna were there as Godparents. And while we have lots of pictures of him from that day, our pictures of the ceremony are few in number...so those of you that had cameras, we'd appreciate getting copies of whatever you took.

Our family at a brunch up the street.


The appropriately delicious and short lived cake.




Uncle Colin- a proud new Godfather.

Thanksgiving

Arthur's first Thanksgiving was a blast- it was also his first time meeting his cousin Jack, who is 6 weeks younger. Below is a picture of Jack and Arthur lying on brand new blankets given by their mutual Aunt Darcia, as well a a family picture.

We're sorry...

...that we've both been such bums about updating this blog, depriving friends, family and baby model scouts of pictures and videos of our little boy. It certainly hasn't been for lack of cute pictures. But in the almost 2 months since our last post, plenty has happened, Arthur-wise, and we'll be posting as much as we can in the next couple of days to catch up. And this time, we'll keep it up to date.
