Christmas Celebration #1

One of the benefits of having your grandparents live in two states is that Christmas lasts longer! And in Kaelah's case, they are completely different, both in great ways. With my side of the family things are quite quiet & everything revolves around Kaelah. On Dan's side, we get to be around lots of great family members we haven't seen for months and enjoy being part of a great big family. The more the merrier! But for now, we'll share the quieter side of Christmas. Above: Kaelah's favorite Christmas picture. She gets excited every time she sees it pop up on the computer. I think we've been reading Carl's Masquerade too much lately. (:
Kaelah enjoyed ALL the presents ANYONE received, including this table cloth.
Meigou had this squeaky toy so torn up by the end of our celebration it went out in the trash with the wrapping paper.
Wearing the "What Santa doesn't bring me Grandma will" pajamas her own way.
Kaelah was bouncing around the room whenever she wasn't playing with the presents.
Big smiles while being tossed back & forth between Daddy & Grandpa through the air!
Swaying her dolly. She calls it, "baby" but it comes out sounding like "Barbie."
Showing off her awesome truck to the person who gave it to her.
The women in our family figuring out the cool magnetic truck from IKEA.
I love this picture. Meigou seems to have developed a "me too!" complex since Kaelah's arrival. (: Kaelah also giggles when this picture pops up too.
Kaelah feeding her dolly (in the nose, in the eye... eventually in the mouth).

More to come soon!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
