jingle bells & wanna watch football...

following our photo shoot in the Christmas dress we had a couple other little performances....

back again...

so much for my efforts at keeping this more up to date when i'm home!! sooooooo... i'll try to get back at it.

it's been an exciting couple of weeks. not exciting as in "we've had a baby." but exciting as in: we have a new little nephew Joseph (Peter's sister), we had the Holsopple Christmas, have dealt with (and hopefully solved!!) our sewer/plumbing problems, have the babies room pretty much together and ready, cleaned the carpets and put the basement back together after said sewer problems, and Naomi is hopefully on the mend after being sick - seemingly getting better - and getting sick again. shew!!!

and hopefully now we are really getting ready to have a baby! i am certainly ready to not be pregnant, so we're waiting patiently. here are a few pictures from the Holsopple Christmas gathering. we'll keep you posted on the baby front!

opening presents...

I think Naomi had a great Christmas! She has been playing in her pool full of balls and cooking soup & eggs like crazy! So fun to see how much she enjoys the simple pleasures of it all. Christmas next year will be very different with another little crazy one running around!! We can't wait! Happy holidays to you all!!

like i mentioned in the last post, Naomi is a big fan of her telephone (and her little kitchen in general) and here is a little proof of that...

new red kitchen...

Naomi got a little kitchen for Christmas from Grandma & Grandpa Schlegel. We just brought it home for her yesterday and she is a big fan! She particularly loves the phone. I think we're getting her a cell phone for Christmas this year...

Happy Birthday Grandma Schlegel!!

We hope you had a wonderful day!

Christmas in November...

So I've been a total slacker at keeping this up to date, but am hoping to do better now that I'm at home. Yup, Naomi and I are home just hanging out most days. So far we've been having a really good time. Fingers crossed that that continues!! :-)

Last week we were in Nebraska and had Christmas with Peter's family. Peter's sister, Becky, is due at Christmas time so we celebrated with the whole family over Thanksgiving. Naomi had a great time being with her cousin Sam and seeing Grandma & Grandpa Schlegel and Becky, Jay and Marc. Even with the long car ride home in the snow, we had a great time!

We stopped at the Machine Shed for breakfast on the way. If you don't know what that is... well you should just be ashamed.


Naomi got lots of stuff for her babies!



and lots of fun with Sam & Grandma....
