Suzy [snake] Charmer

We found a snake in our yard. A snake in our yard in January. Suzy's not afraid.

(Grandma Alert: Toy snake bought at store, put the phone down.)

Suzy is also a dad and mom charmer.

"Do you want a pony?"

Becky and I met on New Year's Eve back in 1994/1995. While we've been married since 1999 I was due for some restating of my original vows. So on the Feast of the Holy Family (aka New Year's Eve) we had our marriage blessed in the Catholic Church. Father Gally was our priest for the occasion (below). It was a great ceremony and the food afterwards at our house was wonderful. Thanks to the Buchmiller sisters.

Pictures include Uncle Shane to the right, Aunts Lisa and Sydney below and of course the grand parents.

Suzy was so happy that she cried. Out loud.

Sobieski Christmas

Aunt Joyce saves the day on getting into a Suzy picture. She also saved our day by making some very nice baby blankets for little Sue. The only other person to get in on the photo taking was a Conway. Cousin Harrison. He is already taller then Becky.

Buchmiller XMass

People. Please. If you want your moments captured on this blog (and I know that you do) you have to start getting in the frame with Suzy. No Suzy in the picture equals it might as well never happened. The Buchmiller Christmas(s) party is a example and as you can see only a select few new the rules. Congratulations go out to the following smarties: Maggie Rebecca, Johnny Red, Caroline, and Grandma B. The rest of you need to get your act together.

...worth a thousand words.

A quick comment on my comments.

So I'm planning on this blog thing as being a chance to put up pictures of Suzy and her life. So I'll keep the commentary to a low. This one being the exception. Anyway please ignore my lack of coherent thought in my accompanying picture posts. I'm in high volume mode right now so that I can get caught up on Suzy's first six months.

The Maxfield Greats

Suzy has some Great Aunts and Uncles. That joke never gets old with me. These are some shots of the Maxfield Clan. Robynne and Melodee have the first shot with Suzy and some very thick winter coats for baby. Suzy has some good men around her as well with Uncle Rick and Uncle Jim.

There great!

Uncle Jeff turns 40 (and lives to tell)

You'll notice that Jeff got some iPod style hearing aids so that he can keep current with all the hip speak going on around him.

Uncle Mike and Aunt Dana with Suzy. I've got all kinds of ideas on what to say about Dana's happy face but I think I'd better let it go. Suzy has some great dark hair in this shot. It is almost gone now with some blonde peach fuzz growing in.

Suzy with Mom and then Dad

One post for each month of the last six months of Suzy's life isn't working out. Instead I'll post as a find pictures that I think are worth posting. So far they are all in order just not in a post per month format.

With Grandma Merry

For All Souls Day we visited Suzy's Great Grandmother's grave. Suzy's middle name is in honor of this wonderful woman with a maiden name of Meredith. I should say more but it wouldn't be enough. I only wish they had met here on earth. May she rest in peace.
