Our New Cousin!

Our new sweet little cousin is finally here! Her name is Millicent Kim and she weighted 8 lbs 3 oz and was 21 inches long!

This picture is of her just an hour or so old. She was nice and cozy all swaddled up!


Here she is the next morning. We all think she lookes like her Mommy!


She is so precious! We all just couldn't get enough of her!

Welcome to the family Millicent! We love you to the moon and back! XOXO!!!

Swimming

We had fun at the pool with daddy while we were waiting for our new baby cousin to be born!

He's going to hate this!!!

Last night after dance practice, Miss E had a friend come over. They thought it was pretty funny dressing up little brother! He actually did too! Oh, yes! I know he is going to hate me one day for posting this picture! But it is too funny not too! The cute part was he didn't want to take it off! ;-)

Snowman Painting

My sister made this for her entry way! Isn't it super cute?!?! She just took a canvas and painted the snowmen to match her family and then added letters she cut out on the cricut! Hopefully she will make me one for Christmas next year . . . hint, hint!!! ;-)

Baptism

Our sweet little nephew was baptised this weekend. Thankfully the storm let up so that we could still have the service!


Here he is getting his shoes put on that Grandma made for him. She has made all her grandchildren's baptism shoes! We have ours saved in our hope chest! They are pretty precious!



Here is the little man waiting for the service to begin.


Auntie Christine couldn't make it since the interstates were still closed in the am. :-(

Snow storms

Daddy worked for over two hours this morning to clear snow in our driveway. Just in time to clear it again after storm number 2 hits us later today and tomorrow! Last night at about 9:30 we noticed that our furnace was blowing, but there wasn't any heat coming out. After some tinkering, Daddy went out side and found out that all our vents were covered with snow. Once he dug them all out, the heat was back on. Good thing, it was mighty cold last night!

Cute Letters

We are going to have a new little niece born in the near future! (Hopefully she waits until the storms pass to make her arrival!)

Tami wanted something to go on one of the walls in the baby's room and I told her I would make the baby's name out of letters. I got this idea to cover letters from one of my friends! They turned out really cute. Since Tami isn't telling the baby's name to everyone until she is born, I decided to only show a couple of the letters, to keep those of you who don't know her name guessing!

Here is the crib blanket that she let me borrow so I could match up the paper and paint.


Here are the supplies I needed. This project was very simple, but a little time consuming.

After tracing the letters, I cut them out. I also cut out circles to match the blanket! (Note, it would have been easier to find paper with both matching colors, but I didn't have any luck!)

I painted the letters a light pink so all the edges looked finished.

Then I simply added a couple coats of Mod Podge. When they were all dry I added the bows.

Now lets just hope the Doctor was right when he said they were having a baby girl! ;-)

Santa Came to Our House!

We must have been good this year, because Santa sure left us the loot!


Christmas Day was the hardest one yet for Little Brother. He pretty much spent the whole day like this or crying in Mommy's arms! This is how he sat while Sister opened all her gifts and his. Poor little buddy!

When we asked her what her favorite gift was this Christmas, she said her Princess Dolls! She has played with them nonstop!

Brother came around for a couple minutes to try out his new hammer toy and then it was back to mommy! Today he is much better and he is starting to get back to normal, so that is good! We haven't had this much cuddling from that little guy since he was a newborn!

Christmas Eve

Daddy took Sister to church and then we all headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's for supper. Little Brother wasn't feeling all that good, so we had to make it a quick night. But we still had a great time with family.

Mommy got a new printer. This one will be able to print all her digital scrapbooking pages! Daddy says she doesn't need to go to all these fancy scrapbooking retreats now that she can do it all from home. . . what does he know?!?! ;-)

Daddy's Hunt

With Daddy busy schedule, he has hardly made it out to go hunting at all this year. On Christmas Eve Day he finally got to go out for a while and he even came back with a bird! As you can see by the looks of his overhauls, it was pretty wet under all that snow.

Christmas Cookies

Last night we finally got around to making some cookies. We figured we need something to leave out for Santa!

Can you tell which ones little brother decorated?

Yes, he made a worm too!

Surgery

On Wednesday little brother had his tonsils and adenoids taken out. He was quite the trooper! The hardest part for us was when the nurse had to take him. Hearing him scream until they put him under was tough on Mommy and Daddy! We were glad when it was all over and we got to hold our little buddy again!

Auntie Heidi and family brought him up a balloon that distracted him for a bit. :-) The hardest part of the recover for him was wanting his IV out and the heart monitor that they had on his toe off! He was a happy camper when they were finally able to remove them!

He is doing better with each passing day. We still need to keep on top of the pain meds regularly, but besides that he is doing better then expected.

Christmas #1

Last weekend we celebrated Christmas with Mommy's family! We had a great time at Auntie Heidi and Uncle Chris' house!

That Uncle Tom is such a good sport! If you look close, you can see his feet under all the cushions!

Is that Santa I see?
