Week One

It's been a little crazy around here. We are all tired, but doing well. In our sweet boys first week of life he has met several of you. We are still waiting for all the Grandparents to make an appearance. (Hurry up!) Baby lost his bellybutton! Baby has gained back almost all of his birth weight. He is now 8.35 (birth 8.42). He grew a bit, now 20 3/4, birth 20in. Baby makes the best expressions, as you can tell from this picture. But, the most amazing thing.... He can roll over!!!!!!!!! I am not kidding. I put him on his belly and he flipped right over. I thought it might be a fluke, so I did it again, and he went the other way. We did this 15 more times clapping with delight every time. He is so strong! We love this little man so much! We are so grateful to J! We love you J!

He's here!!!!!

Snow Day!!!

The kids had a SNOW DAY! They played as long as they could in the snow. They were soaking wet and freezing by the time they came in. They made several snowmen, angels, and snowballs. Can't beat a snow day!

Winter Babes

Both my kiddos had birthdays. They're growing way too fast. I love you Bud and Pinks!

Teeth

Pinks has been loosing teeth left and right! You can see the before and afters here. We called her Nanny McFee when she would stick her tooth on the outside of her mouth. Needless to say she did not like that name, so out came the teeth. I love her little toothless smile, and the small lisp I hear when she talks. Way to go Pinks!

Halloween 2010

I know it's December, but here are our Halloween pictures. Halloween would not be complete without a tarantula on your arm! Seven pounds of candy!!! Here we are... the witch, bag of chips, bloody skeleton, and snow princess. One of these years I would like to match, but that is wishful thinking. Happy Halloween!

Discovery

We went to the Discovery Center with our cousins. Boy was it fun! The kids were overstimulated by the time we left, but it was well worth the trip into town. We miss our cousins! Come back!

Corn Maze

Every October we try to go to the Corn Maze. This year we went twice. Once with our cousins, and scout troop, and then again for a field trip with Pinks' class. Each time was great! Here are my darlings enjoying the day.

Update

Life keeps getting busier around here, but I thought I would give you an update.

Adoption ~ We have almost had a baby twice now. We have had two false alarms. Jessica is hanging in there, but is really ready to have baby. We all think he will be here soon. We can't wait!

Foster ~ Our foster baby has turned one! He is busy and trying so hard to walk. He gets up on his own, and walks. He does crawl faster, so he often will stop walking to get where he wants to go faster. He is talking alot more now, and saying fun words like...hi, hat, hot, Dada, eat, and just today OK. We do not know yet how much longer we will have him. As much as we want him to go home to his parents, he will be greatly missed. We love him!

Cars ~ I wrecked our car, so it is in the shop. Then our minivan died, so we bought a car. We bought a used car from Utah, and are anxiously waiting its arrival. We are currently driving a rental. It is nice, but it is not fun being a one car family. Ha!

Life is crazy, but good. The Christmas season is upon us. I have everything wrapped and ready, except for the fact that our tree isn't up. Hopefully by Thursday it will be up. I hope this season is a happy one for all of you! We hope to share some great news soon!
