A sledding we will go....

This little sledding excursion happened probably two weeks ago...sorry, just a little behind. I thought they were so cute though, I had to share. Norah thought it was so funny when Drew would go running with her. She looked hilarious in her little sled, all bundled up. It was pretty cold out, so we weren't out for long. Sorry for all the pictures with Molly in them too. I'm not sure who had more fun Molly, Norah or her Daddy!?

Too much fun!!!

It's a show down....who's going to be faster? 

All done....heading in, rosy cheeks and all!

Think she enjoyed herself?

I know Norah did!

Meat Pie

The weekend after New Years we headed to Port Huron for our annual Meat Pie party! It was another successful year of great food, drinks, and family! It was so much fun to watch all the kids together! We have four little ones in the family now! Addison is the oldest (3), then Norah (1 1/2), Kennedy (6 months) and Thatcher (1 month)! And, my cousin Matthew and his wife Katie are expecting their first baby in a few months! What a blessing to have all these little ones there to help celebrate the tradition we have had for the past 8 years! The next generation, here they come! Thank you everyone for a wonderful weekend! Can't wait for next year!

She loved the play kitchen!!!

The Morning After

Christmas......Part 2

We had our second Christmas celebration this past weekend with Drew's family. It was so much fun watching all six girls together and Norah was really into opening gifts this year, so that made it even more enjoyable. All of the girls have so much fun together and we are so blessed to have such great little girls in this family. Thank you for everything, everyone! And all of you that won the money during the 'box' game......you know who you are....you're going down next year!!! :) Merry Christmas, again, everyone!


Lovin' on her new baby doll!




Hanging out at Audrey and Lilly's new table!  She loved it!  I think we know what a good 2nd birthday gift is going to be! :)




Finally, someone to help me vacuum!




If it would ever snow around here we could actually go out and use this awesome sled!  I guess I should watch what I wish for, huh? 




Lovin' life the morning after.....in her new chair!






Christmas....Part 1

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great time celebrating with family and friends. We are looking forward to our Christmas Part 2 this weekend when Drew's sister and her family come home from Cincinnati! I was so sad on Christmas morning when I realized we didn't get a family picture of all of us before church. This is the only picture I have of Norah in her pretty Christmas dress and fancy bows and shoes!

Reading a book before church!

Daddy helping Norah open her first gift!

 

























After we opened gifts at home, we headed to Doug and Janis' for a cup of coffee and then headed to Mom and Dad's house to spend the rest of the day.

Look at what Thatcher got for Norah!!!!!

Do you think she loves it!?  :)

Lovin' her new tutu!

Gettin' a little Thatcher lovin!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

A Very Special Message

Norah received a very special message today! Take a Look!

Santa, Boxes, and Thatcher James

No tears.....She is such a good girl!

Thanks for the sucker, Santa!

I had a box left over from my Thirty One orders and Norah has been having a blast playing in it.

The other night she was just chillin', sippin' some milk and watching some tube!

And welcome to the world the newest addition to the family.  My brother and his wife had their first baby on Monday!

Thatcher James was born on December 12th.  He was 8.5 pounds and 21 inches long.  He is absolutely perfect.  Mom, Dad, and Thatcher are all doing wonderful.  We love him so much!

Can you hardly get enough of that face?

We decided to make the trek down to the hospital to meet Thatcher.  It was a long drive, but worth it.  As you can see, Norah was thrilled to see her new cousin.  (She didn't start out this way when we got there;  long car ride, scary hospital building = cranky, scared Norah! :) )

Proud Daddy and his son!!
