New pics of Ben

Those of you that already see my own blog... this is a repeat of what I posted there! Those of you that don't see my blog, I figured I could post the same updates here as I do there :)

Laughing at Daddy


"GRRRR..."


Playing with Ryann & Rudy

Ben got a ton of awesome gifts from all the grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. He loves all the new toys and mommy and daddy appreciate not having to buy him clothes quite yet! He is growing up so fast, but we love it. He can roll over in a split second now; in fact, he thinks it's a fun game to roll over while he is getting his diaper changed or clothes put on. We are not amused by this, but he thinks it's hilarious! He is so close to crawling but seems to have given up on it for now since he is so fast just pulling himself while dragging his stomach and sometimes his legs on the ground. Man if he wants something he really goes after it! (i.e. the remote control, our cell phones, electrical cords, and everything else he can't have) We all had a great time in DeKalb for Christmas Eve with the ENTIRE Lehan clan and Ben especially likes Aunt Katie's dog Rudy (the third cousin). I think she liked Ben just as much! She was very protective of him whenever he cried. Then we had a great time back in Peoria with the Gorsages, and Ben liked his dog cousins on the other side of the family too even though they are a little more "energetic" than Rudy :) Also we had our first big snow in Bartonville and couldn't wait to take Ben out to play in his snowsuit. He doesn't like the immobility of the snowsuit but he still had fun once we got outside! Now... if only there were a safe place to take him sledding because mommy wants to do that next!!! We don't have many photos to share really because the grandparents and aunts and uncles were the ones taking all the pictures, but there are a few to share!

Nathan's in NY

As most of you know, I'll be in New York on a rotational assignment at IBM headquarters for the next year. I'll have a 2 bedroom apartment that's a 45 minute train ride from Grand Central. I'm extending an invite to anyone in the family that would like to visit me/NYC! Find a cheap flight to NYC and you've got a place to stay and a cousin/nephew to see the sights with. Give me at 3194005510.

New pictures




I forgot to attach our latest and greatest picture. My 3 little angels!

Welcome to the Gibbs Family Blog

Hey all. Yes, I finally got around to building something for our family. I know, I know - I work on websites all day (and night) and it's taken me this long to get my stuff together.

This blog is for all family to use at will. Post comments, pictures, events, etc. I know we all have facebook, myspace, twitter, etc. but thing is for our family only. It's easy to use and anyone can post! Enjoy.

So I'll start with some news. The Keelings will be heading to Iowa December 26 to see my Grandpa in Chariton and then to see Gram and anyone else that is available. We're so excited as this will be Camren's first trip to Iowa and the girls have been asking - when are we going on vacation to Iowa again? Is anyone going to be around after xmas?
