.... for some football? Tess doesn't appear to be either but in honor of Colin's homecoming today she is sporting (pardon the pun) her new Dallas Cowboys outfit. And yes, you heard that right - our first baby is flying home today for Christmas break. It is a good day!
And the other excitement is that Tess has begun to open her eyes and look around more. The world must still be awfully bright judging by her expression this morning. Still, it was a treat to 
see those big eyes.
and yawning. : ) Even after 8 other babies it doesn't take much to impress us lol!
She's absolutely beautiful! You take wonderful pictures.

What a sweet babe! Christmas is such a neat time for the whole family to be together. Word of caution Mom, enjoy everyone, but make sure you do some napping too. God bless you all and have a wonderful Christmas.
