We wish you a Merry Christmas





Christmas break began a little bit early this year because of a snow day! Dave is getting lots of good use out of the snowblower from Grandpa Schepers! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The first part of break we spent working on remodeling our kitchen - new paint, floors, and appliances. Merry Christmas to me! It was all done on Christmas Eve, just in time for the festivities!
Christmas day we had church in the morning and then Nana and Papa Wolbert and Gramma and Grampa Doll came over for a ham dinner. It was a feast! Laney went down for her nap like clockwork at 1:00...but then surprised us 5 minutes later with a big thud...yup she climbed out of her crib! We were thankful for no injuries or tears, but we certainly hope she doesn't do that again! Guess she didn't want the fun to end!!!
It was wonderful to have a fairly low key Christmas this year - the parties were spread out just right! Dave has one more week off from school and we plan to do some fun things together as a family.

1, 2, 3...

First of all, excuse the mess, we have been moving things around in our house and doing lots of big and little projects while Dave has some time off from school. :) Here is Laney picking up hangers for me and counting - she really did say 1, 2, 3 I just wasn't fast enough to catch it on video - she's starts at 4 and goes all the way up to...? You'll have to watch and see!

Giggles



I love watching Laney and Daddy play together after supper. Here they are tonight - having a ball!!!

20 weeks



Alright Dana, you talked me into it - here is a belly pic at 20 weeks. I sure like being pregnant this time of year - I love to eat...especially during the holidays! And maternity clothes are quite comfortable! :)

Baby Doll #2





Last night we had our 20 week ultrasound. Hard to believe we are half way already!!! I guess time flies when you have another little munchkin to chase after. Dave and I had a nice dinner before our appointment - Mexican - YUM! We thought all the chips and salsa would make the baby go crazy...The baby was pretty active, moving it's arms up by it's head, giving us a thumbs up, and kicking once in a while. The little stinker is already camera shy though...he or she was facing my back so it was difficult to get a good profile or face picture. It was another amazing experience - we are so thankful for this next addition to our family :) In case you can't tell, the top picture is of the arm and hand, the middle shows most of the face, and the bottom picture is a foot!
