Almost February!

Can't believe we're already turning a page in our new 2007 calendar.
There are a few videos on myspace that you all can check out. If you go to www.myspace.com/ssythoff, you will be on Sara's myspace. Under the picture of her, you'll see a section to view "Pics" and "Videos." You are welcome to check out both!
Here are some Fletcher updates:
Likes his new shoes (brand new, $3.99 at Children's Orchard, what!)

Sleeps like a weirdo...


Pulling up on the coffee table: uh-oh...


Brushes his hair :)

What have we here? Toys in the toilet?

(We've been keeping the lid closed ever since this incident)

California!!

Fletch's first trip out to Cali to meet Wes' family!

Fletch & cousin Fin, who was born a month and a half after Fletcher.

The 3 little bros with Wes: (from left) Eric, Pearce & Dawasi

Eric (5) & Dawasi (6) have been part of the family for a year in February. They are from Liberia. Pearce is seven now. The same judge that oversaw his adoption also took care of Eric & Dawasi's.

1st Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our friends! We love you so much and are so glad to have you in our lives. We appreciate the support and love we've had over the last year, and are so grateful to have people in our lives who care so much for us and our little Fletch.
Fletch had two Christmases this year: one in Texas and one in California!
Observe:

Texas! Christmas with all of Sara's family.

Stuffed puppy and Packers pillow from Grammy & Grandaddy.

Xylophone from his cousin Lauren (it can also go in the tub!)

California!!

Everyone got involved in helping cousins Fin & Fletcher open their gifts from Grandma & Grandpa. Stuffed lions for all!

And a sweet book (includes a user guide for parents).


You know the most fun part is the packaging!!
