Twister

With a morning of cold and blowing snow it was an easy and bittersweet decision to once again cancel plans and stay inside.  Therefore I decided to bring out the game, Twister.  I changed it up a bit so Caleb could play too.  All in all, it made 30 minutes go by super fast and  turned out to be lots of fun.

Fun New Activity

As stated in the previous post, we decided to do a new activity for all the kiddos while my family was here, bowling.  Needless to say it did not disappoint, we all had a blast! Plus it was so entertaining to see the boys carry their 6 lb. balls.  And to top it all off, they each bowled a spare too. :)

Speckman Family Visit

This past weekend my brother, Steven and his family headed west to come see us and meet Ian.  It was so nice to have them all here.  Since we only see them twice a year it is something we take great joy in when we can see them.  We spent our time playing games, watching the kids play, going to Eagle's Nest (indoor playground) and doing one other new fun activity for all the kids (post to come).  Thanks to Kim, I was able to get a few pictures of the kiddos and their time here.

Special thanks to Steven, Kim, Chloe and Silas for coming to visit.  We love and miss you all already!!!  

Grandpa and Grandma Visit

On Friday Nate's parents drove up for a very quick trip to see the kiddos and meet Ian.  We all had a wonderful time and sad to see them go already.  We also only captured the two pictures below, oh well at least they turned out well.  

Special thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for coming up to see us and for all the goodies.  We love you lots.

Ian Turns 1 Month

Even though we have experienced these monthly birthdays three other times now, I am still overwhelmed with how fast time goes.  I can not believe our baby boy turns one month old today.  

Ian, we love you so much and are thankful that God has orchestrated you to be apart of our family.   Happy 1st Month Birthday, Ian!

Typical Tuesday

If we are not hanging out with people, running errands or at the library, our typical Tuesday mornings consists of:

Elyse doing craft projects

Caleb and Kallen riding their rider toys around the house

Ian starring at his stimulating star and hanging objects

Ian's 2 Weeks

Thanks to the holidays and the kids' pediatrician only working Wednesdays and Fridays, Ian's two week doctor appointment turned into almost a four week appointment.  Anyway, I don't know what I was more happy about, that his appointment went well or that I took all four kids there on time and they behaved.  Needless to say, the appointment was a success and Ian is growing very nicely, but still our littlest peanut by far.  In fact, he is still smaller than both Elyse and Kallen were at birth :)

2 WEEK STATS:
Weight: 8 lbs, 1 oz (15%)
Length: 21.5 inches (69%)
