Christmas 3 & 4

We made our way to Kevin's parents the Wednesday after Christmas.  Trains were Peter's #1 priority and he got a lot of time downstairs with Daddy and Grandpa.




We got to see some of Kevin's family - April makes friends with everyone!!  At one point she shouted out "hug the one you love!" and gave Uncle Bob a huge hug :)




Thursday we hung around the house and ran out to the mall to get some energy out. Then we had our gift opening with Kevin's parents, brother, and sister-in-law.






On Friday, we headed to Poppop and Mimi's.  Peter was hungry....so he ate first ;)

April continued to love on her relatives ;)  during the gift exchange! Uncle Matt was so nice to April :)

Chloe drew Noah's name in the exchange.  My uncle made him an arrow-pen and he was LOVING it.  He liked hearing it was made from a real arrow :)




How did we ring in the New Year?  By building "lego land" in the playroom!!

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

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
