FABULOUS (took a while to find an adjective not already used above) pictures! Is that house your family's, or is that just there for pictures? Extremely cool.

by preacherdavetx at 07/23/10 3:10PM
Love those pics! I hope to visit there one day, or at least somewhere over in that area of the states. Awesome scenery and bridge.

you TOTALLY taught her to do that....lol....

by fullofgrace at 04/18/10 10:10PM
I have to say that Autumn looks like Landon in her Easter picture & she looks so much like you in the toe picture. Alyssa looks beautiful in those glasses. We hope to see her play a game of soccer real soon.

by melissakaye at 04/19/10 12:35AM
You are quite blessed, Derek!! Love the pics and video and hope to be able to see you all sometime soon. Love to you and your girls!

Mmmm. Fritos ... I mean free toes. Lulu looks so grown up. As for Autumn, look out world!
Sounds like she's about ready to blow a gasket. Maybe she needs a tune-up. :)

Bowl season will be here before we know it. Can't wait to watch Cincy crush Florida in the Sugar Bowl without their loser Coach. Ok, I wouldn't count on it, but I would like to see it (sorry Gator fans). Oh, and back to the Loser Cincy Coach who ditched his team before the biggest game of their history to go to Notre Lame. I understand why a coach would want to move to Notre Lame (more money, more opportunities, more exposure, blah, blah, blah), but I really can't stand it when a coach leaves his team before a bowl game - especially a BCS. I think the rules should be changed to not allow this to happen.

Looking forward to the WVU - Florida State game. Speaking of lame (earlier), how could Florida State who is 6-6 make it to the Gator over the other more deserving ACC teams? Well...I know how, but that is just ridiculous. It's all about the M-O-N-E-Y. But just because Florida State is 6-6 I wouldn't count them out. The Mountaineers may have a pretty good record (9-3), but records can be deceiving. They really haven't looked that great many times this year. Flashes of brilliance and flashes of terribleness. If they can just play this game without a fumble, interception, or bubble screen I will be happy. I'd be more happy if they can send Bowden out with a BIG L.

Here's some pictures:

I know at least one person who thinks I am funny

Just loving these big smiles and facial expresssions

Look at these two beautiful girls that I found:

(the faded picture was actually of Alyssa...though it was probably obvious)

Beautiful daughters!! I have to say the baby looks so much like your wife. And I LOVE the picture of that big smile while you're holding her.

Speaking of bowl games...can you imagine how excited I am about my Crimson Tide playing for the National Championship??!!

by donnajo at 12/12/09 5:09PM
THIS IS ADORABLE!

by adeline at 12/12/09 6:36PM
Dan and I both see a resemblance between Alyssa and Autumn. What beautiful girls you have!!!

by csusoftballgirl at 12/12/09 7:39PM
Ooh your daughters are just too pretty in spite of you. Giggle. Good thing they look like their gorgeous mama!! I so agree with the lame coaches and especially Notre Lame. LOL

by teelduo at 12/12/09 8:30PM
Adorable!

by angell at 12/12/09 8:51PM
They look so much alike! I love the picture of you too! :)

by kendralulu at 12/12/09 9:52PM
Love seeing the pictures! That last picture of Autumn reminds me some of Landon...I guess it's the serious face.

by melissakaye at 12/13/09 1:27AM
Beautiful girls!!!

by girl_husted at 12/13/09 8:46AM
Wow!! Autumn looks SO much like Alyssa and Amber! Loved looking at the pictures!

by ashfields at 12/14/09 6:52AM
Okay, granddaughter first. Love that, "Dad ... pull my finger smile!" The yawn comes natural. And, in that last picture Ms Autumn is thinking, "Why am I wearing a hat and no pants?" Anyway, poor kid. She has two moms. :)

Now, let's talk football. I don't think any coach should be allowed to talk to another school until his team's season is over. If not, every recruited player should be explicitly told ...

"Come play for me and I'll get you plenty of national attention and I'll do everything I can to get you into the pros. DISCLAIMER: My current coaching job is nothing more than a stepping-stone to bigger and better things. Therefore, I may bail out at any time ... particularly, before the biggest bowl game in the school's history. If I do so, all those previously stated promises are null and void. And, all those times I talked about the 'team,' what I was really focused on was all the things the team could do to help advance my career. Now, with these things in mind, I would very much like for you to join our team here at It's All About Me University."

Now ... Gooooooooooooo Mountaineers!

by hillabilly at 12/14/09 8:49AM
She's precious! Glad things are going so well for all of you!

by denisemccaskill at 12/14/09 12:44PM

Meet Autumn Marie Anderson:

Sorry...she's too sleepy to respond back.

She was born on Wednesday morning (10/14) at 1:07 a.m. weighing 8 lbs, 13 oz and measuring at 21 1/4 inches long. Here she was on the scale showing us she had some healthy lungs, not that we didn't notice when she came out:

The experience was incredible - everything I expected and more.

Here's a few other miscellanous pictures. Hope you enjoy them. In the meantime we are still working on getting internet connection at our new place. Right now I'm borrowing Aunt Aimee's laptop.
