Spring is here!!!

We got out and enjoyed the lovely weather here this weekend. Levi was pretty smiley about the whole thing. It's so fun to see him smiling and he is working on keeping up with Naomi and becoming quite the chatter box!

6 weeks old & going on 2...

Well, we are pretty well into the groove with things and all is going well. Levi is getting big so quickly and Naomi is getting almost 2 so quickly! :-) We are enjoying our days playing and looking at books, trips to the library and if I have my wish... all napping together in the afternoons. We've all got a severe case of spring fever. I think even little Levi will be happy when we can get out of the house. Here are a few new pics. Hope you're all well!

The Schlegels are alive and well!!!

Well, it's been a good long while since I've posted anything and many things have happened since then:
• We've welcomed Levi Benjamin, our healthy little boy.
• We've all been sick with colds and sinus infections, etc.
• Peter went to State Wrestling in Indy last weekend.
• And we are adjusting to life with 2 kiddos, and one of us is figuring out how to be a big sister.
All in all, things are going great. Naomi really enjoys filling the big sis roll and loves to kiss and hug and pat and love on her baby brother - yes, we have to protect him at times. But Levi is doing great. I am enjoying being at home as each new day is an adventure with these 2!! Here are a few pictures of the last few weeks. I hope you are all well!!

sliding into her pool...

a bit late, but here is Naomi enjoying one of her Christmas presents... and Peter too...

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!!
