Christmas Celebration

This year's Christmas was like no others we have ever had, but perfect to say the least.  It was the first time that the kiddos had two of their three grandparents here to celebrate the day.  Nate and I never enjoy celebrating the holidays without family so having the house full was wonderful. 

 

Hope you all had a wonderful, memorable and blessed Christmas too.

 

A special thank you to Mike and Kathy for driving up and staying with us.  We loved seeing you and appreciate all you do.

Merry Christmas

We hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas! May you and your family rejoice in the day and celebrate the reason for the season.

 

 

Kitchen Help

Came across this picture on my camera, and I wanted to show you all that real men do help out in the kitchen! :)



Kallen Turns 9 Months Old

I can't believe it, our baby boy is a quarter away from being a year already.  Kallen turned 9 months today and I don't know where the time has gone.  I do know he is our moving, babbling, happy, easy-going, and very busy little boy that we love so much. 

 

Kallen's doctor's appointment was today; doctor said he looked great, was growing perfectly, and still proved to be our littlest peanut.

9 Months Statistics
Weight: 17 lbs, 12 oz (10%)
Height: 28.5 inches (61%)

Happy 9 Month Birthday, Kallen! 

Celebrating Caleb

Due to weather and the holidays, Caleb's 2nd birthday was very low key, yet perfect.   He celebrated his second birthday with a truck/construction theme.  It was just us five and my mom. We sang, he blew out his candle, ate and then opened gifts.  He even voluntarily shared his birthday cupcake with Dad and Elyse, such a sweet boy.  Love him and loved celebrating him.

Two years ago today...

...our hearts were filled with so much joy and love as our first born son was placed so gently into our arms.  The last two years have flown by and I can't believe our little man isn't so little anymore.   There are so many things we treasure about Caleb, but by far the best are, his silly facial expressions, his never ending hugs, and his empathy towards others.  Nate and I are forever grateful for God and Caleb's birthmother for giving him to us.

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, CALEB!

We love you so much and hope your day is a special as you are to us.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

I don't know who loves looking at the tree more, the kids or I? :)

 

And yes, we put up the Christmas tree for a week, just to take it back down and then put it right back up again.  A pain, maybe, but totally worth it.
