Down with the Sickness!

So the ENTIRE family has been sick twice. We just keep passing it around but hopefully we're done now. We've been stuck in the house for a couple weeks so there hasn't been a whole lot of exciting news since the blizzard of 2010.

We had some recent visitors so here are some new pics:

With the snow comes...

Broken tree branches; new Fireman snow/rain boots; and snow ball fights with Dad. Enjoy!

Portraits of the Fam

We figured welcoming Chase is a good time to refresh our family pics for your viewing pleasure. It's not that we are forcing our boys to go to UT - they are simply predisposed to burnt orange - it's genetic. Lucky kiddos!

Chase is about a week old in these pics and Cannon is 2 years and 5 months.

Here's Chase!

Well it's been almost a week but here goes:

Chase Danger Ritter was born Wednesday January 20th at 12:17pm. He weighed 8lbs 3oz and was 19 3/4" long. He and Mom are both doing great and we are so excited to begin this new phase in our life.






Cannon is beginning his "adjustment period" of having a baby brother but is doing great considering how pampered he was before this event. He still finds time to enjoy Little Einsteins:

Here's the little kiddo! He's chewing on his arm getting ready to meet everyone.

Circa Christmas

So Cannon had a blast this year during the Holidays because he saw almost everyone on his relatives (no Utah peeps, ah-hem). And with that came several chances to open presents! Here a couple pics:

It's Santa Time

Once again we made the trek to the closest North Pole we could find to torture our child by forcing him to sit on some weird old stranger's lap and take a photo. He didn't cry but he also wouldn't smile - there's no joy in seeing Santa yet. Hopefully you will enjoy the photo as our son was forcibly restrained by the old dude.
