Santa

It was the kid's first visit to Santa. As soon as Caleb sat on his lap he said, "Trains!" Can you guess what he wants for Christmas?

Cereal

I wanted to wait until after the holidays before starting solids...one less thing to do...but Alanna was ready for it now! After many nursing sessions ending with her sucking like there's no tomorrow, I decided that she could probably use a little more food in her tummy. I will have to say that she is a great eater! Waiting until she was 5 months old makes it a lot easier to feed her...as opposed to when I started Caleb--3 1/2 months.

Am I cool or what?

I have such wild and crazy kids!

Go Blue!

Today is the big Michigan-Ohio State Game. Keith and Caleb are all decked out to take their annual Michigan picture!

Happy Thanksgiving!

As we prepare for Thanksgiving this next week, we hope that you all enjoy a great feast the way Caleb has enjoyed his pudding cup!

C's and O's

Caleb finally mastered how to write C's and then turn them into O's. All summer long, he would try and do it and then give up because he couldn't get it right. Now that it's winter, he finally got it. I'm sure he can't wait until next Spring when he can continue his new skills.

Cousins

Caleb and Alanna had their cousins, Derek and Jake, spend the night. Keith and the boys played an exciting game of Trouble! Derek was the big winner!

Tongue

Is it me or is my daughter's tongue REALLY long! I feel like I should be feeding her a cracker or something like she's a giraffe.

Happy Halloween

We had a lot of fun this year, despite the rain. Alanna got a lot of compliments as a cute little sweet pea...not a caterpillar!

Uncle Mark

My brother came to town and met Alanna for the first time. It was a very short weekend, but it was really nice to see him.

Are we having fun yet?

Alanna and her friends, (l-r) Sophie, Gerrit, and Ava did not want to pose!

Fall Fun

Caleb, Alanna, and I had a fun time picking out pumpkins!

Big Brother-Little Sister

Caleb loves to show his little sister what to do!
