Ringing in the New Year

The last of our traveling happened over New Years weekend when we went to visit with Laura and Bill. We had dinner after we arrived on Friday night, stayed up late to get to midnight (and then went to bed at 12:15...or at least, I did!), woke up on Saturday for "Christmas morning". The boys went shooting in the afternoon and the girls had a pedicure party watching the recorded Rose Parade. Sunday we went to church (Laura and I confused a bunch of people!!) and then headed back. We had a great time all together and can't wait to get the call that our nephew is on his way! Enjoy these pictures from the weekend:

Alison!! I haven't checked on your blog in way too long. Our computer crashed awhile ago and I'm just now catching up on everything. You look adorable!! Definitely a little bit bigger this time around (welcome to a second baby), but looking great. Hope you are feeling well too. Looks like your holidays were fabulous. Get some good rest. The best is yet to come! :)

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

April Hope

Praise God! We are thrilled to announce the birth of April Hope, born this morning at 4:42 a.m. and weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We think she is beautiful! Both April and Alison are doing great. Here are just a few of many pictures taken on her first day. More to come...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
