Daddy's Girl

Laney has been loving winter in West Michigan! She gets really excited to see the snow. One day, Daddy was so sweet to take her out in the backyard to play in it. Mommy snuck out to take a few quick pictures, but then watched out a window from inside the house. Laney loves to be pulled in the sled and just recently discovered that she can eat the snow...it's clean I promise! It's been fun to see her enjoy this season and her special one-on-one time with Daddy.

Crazy Bounce!

Today was a cold January day - a perfect day for playing inside!!! We had a blast going to Crazy Bounce in Holland with Papa, Jen, Mya, and Owen this morning. Mondays and Wednesday are Toddler Time. They put out a few inflatables just their size, have excersaucers for the wee ones and popcorn and pop for a snack. It wasn't busy at all and the girls had a ball! The adults had a pretty good time too! I highly recommend this to anyone with kids under 7! Thanks for the fun times you guys!!!

$$$

Here is a super easy way to make a little extra cash...I have a check in the mail for $30 right now - I can think of so many different ways I could spend it! If you have a few minutes a day to check and read e-mails it might be worth signing up...

Sorry I forgot to mention this earlier - but you'll probably want to set up a new e-mail address for this - you could get 2-5 e-mails from inbox dollars a day - plus if you do complete offers for them to earn $, then you may start receiving e-mails from those companies too... Or maybe it's a pain for you to check an extra e-mail account - but I prefer to have one for my "junk" and one for my "real" e-mail that is for family and friends. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions!

Ta Da!

Here is our favorite Christmas present - a remodeled kitchen! You'll have to come over and see it in person soon!

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!

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