Happy Holidays to Everyone
We have had a busy fall, and now it appears start of winter, the snow has been falling periodically since Thanksgiving, and just when the last of it leaves the ground a new storm comes through. So far, no major storms like last year. Caleb has decided that summer is a lot better, you don't have to wear 5 layers of clothes every time you go outside and you can go outside a lot more often. I agree with him. Caleb is learning very quickly how to say more and more words and follow simple instructions, although this new level of communication does not seem to lessen the number of tantrums that we see. Doug is doing well, has been playing a lot of indoor soccer. He just found out today that he will move up to the top level team of his semi-pro club that he joined last month. His office is getting ready to move at the end of next week, unfortunately that means the end of coming home for lunch everyday. My pregnancy is going well, we just had our ultrasound last week, and no we did not find out the sex, and unless we have issues with the pregnancy we won't be able to since neither the technician nor the doctor know. We have our 22 week appointment next wednesday just before our holiday trip to the northwest. I included the first pictures we have taken of me as well as some ultrasound pics below.
Going for a sleigh ride after the years first measurable snow
A pause in car pushing action for a photo op at the Great-Grandparents house
Life is sooooo funny from the viewpoint of a 17 month old in a rocking chair
Hanging out with Auntie Jen and Cousin Anna in the beanbag
Playing...or should I say standing in the snow at the great grandparents, he didn't think he could walk in the white stuff
"Hey Anna if you help me eat all this snow down to the grass, I will be able to walk out of here"
Story time with Grandpa Jim and Anna
Christmas tree hunting day, I'm outside this is fun....for 5 minutes, then it isn't so fun wearing this snowsuit, I want to go home.
This about sums up the day for Caleb, "I'm really tired, but these doritos are too good to miss out on and they make a big mess"
Who's the "cool dude"
Ladders are a lot of fun, I like to climb on and under just about everything.
Look how big and sneaky I am, climbing the ladder, and I can't read all those danger warnings
Caleb's attempt at sitting still for a photograph with the stockings
Aren't I cute eating my apple slices...my new favorite food
"Daddy! a little help here, these boats, I mean boots have a mind of their own, they won't go the right way"
We are so proud of our son, his feet face the wrong way and he thinks that the calculator/ruler is a telephone....Oh my
Pulling his plastic wagon around and around and around the stair case
Snack time and cartoons after all the running from the previous picture
Pregnant with baby #2 at just over 21 weeks....over half way
Baby #2 profile and hand with fingers via ultrasound
Leg (shin bones are very white looking) and foot with toes pointing downward
That's all the sneak peeks for this little one until sometime in April when the baby makes it's grand entrance into the world.
