Here Comes St. Nick


 Hubby took the well children to see Santa while N slept and took them out to eat lunch -- and then see another Santa.  We've broken a new record!
Luckily N was well recovered by the time the St. Nickolas festival at the Praha restaurant.  I was so happy my parents could join us and my children could be introduced to Krampus.  When N got scared while waiting in line Hubby suggested she scare Krampus back.  She was making the cutest snarling faces at him and growling a bit.  She was then really good at ignoring him while speaking with St. Nick.  K was super happy to happen to see one of her best friends from school.  One of N's classmates was there too.  (Check out K's new glasses too!  She had outgrown her old ones.)

This little one still loves dropping off and picking up her siblings from school.

And this guy is still loving Cub Scouts!  Here they are making a scale as part of the Coins belt loop.

M drawing a nativity scene on the blackboard at church.  We were late the week after we were sick -- out of the habit I suppose -- so after taking the Sacrament in the hallway we listening to F&T meeting from the RS room.

Our Girl Scout meetings are going great, thanks to the support and planning of Grandma Karyl!

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 ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
