Thanksgiving

I love how the 'tights' are really, really 'loose' on her legs!
Checking out Auntie Lori

Wes!

Getting into a movie...this is pretty close for them to be to one another.

Little Kings!

Back to work...

Well, the day has finally come. I go back to work tomorrow. Pretty bummed about it. I can't believe how fast my time at home has gone. Now I will start looking forward to Christmas break!!! Sure going to miss these 2 while I'm at work...

Little Angel

We are having so much fun with our little baby girl. She's been such a perfect little baby for us. She sure likes to sleep a lot. And Eat!!! She's starting to get really chubby little cheeks, and rolls on her thighs. Clothes I didn't think she'd be able to fit into for a while, she has been filling out quite well. Eliott still loves her. He gives her lots of kisses and hugs. He is still quite protective of her- what a good big brother! I'm sad to say that I only have one more week to spend at home with them. It's been so enjoyable being with them for the past month. Going to work everyday will be quite an adjustment for us all. Thank God we have such wonderful people taking care of them. It will definetly make the transition easier on Mommy knowing they are in good hands while I am away:)

Playdate!

Eli's friend Ray lives in Zimmerman. On Thursday we went to his house for a playdate with our cabin friends. All 4 of these little cuties are 2 years old. We had a very fun time!!
Reagan, Kendall, Ray, and Eliott

Ray has a baby sister, Belle who is a few months older than Adilyne. He is very good at taking care of babies!

Eli loved the magna-doodle. Can you see baby Jack swinging in the background?!

Then it was Reagan's turn to take care of the baby!

Love baby Sister

Chad put Adi in Eli's bed yesterday while he was getting Eli ready for school. He thought it was so funny that his baby sister was in his bed. After he was dressed Chad put him in there with her. He was so nice and gentle to her, giving her hugs and kisses!

Little Monkey!

If you know Eliott at all, you know that he loves monkeys. Yesterday after we got him dressed, he decided that he wanted to wear his little monkey backpack/leash on his back. We got him this for when we go to the mall, the zoo, places with a lot of people. I didn't know if he'd like it, but it turns out he does. The only problem is that he wants the loop of the leash around his own wrist, so it kind of defeats the purpose! Anyway, yesterday he wore this on his back all. day.! He was going down for a nap, and I thought we should take it off. He didn't think so. He slept for 3 1/2 hrs., so it must have been cozy for him!

I love his eyes in this picture!

Getting ready for lunch.

loving baby sister

meeting uncle Kyle

she can sleep anywhere!

We spent lots of time and Grandpa and Grandma's this past weekend for deer hunting. The kids got to hang out with all of their cousins. They got lots and lots of attention!

Getting so big!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Reagan!

It was so hard for me to sit back and resist all those pretty presents! I gave Reagan a personalized pillowcase like the one I have in my bed. I hope she likes it as much as I do!

Such a cute little birthday-girl!

Here are the babies. They are 1 1/2 weeks apart in age. We think Adi is getting so big, and she's still smaller than Jack was when he was born!

I was only awake for a very short time all day.

Cute baby Belle doesn't look so tiny anymore compared to the new babies. She smiles like crazy, and sure is cute, just like big brother, Ray.

Meeting Grandma Bette for the first time.

Daddy and Eli hanging out. Waiting for half-time so they can have their own football game in the backyard!

Meeting Kathy for the first time. She's pretty good at this with all those grandbabies!

Yesterday we headed to Ramsey for a birthday party for Eli's cabin friend, Reagan, and to watch the Vikings game. It was so much fun to see everyone again, we miss them when it's not cabin season! We got to meet little baby, Jack who is 5 weeks, and they all got to meet baby Adilyne. The (4) 2-yr-olds played together 'pretty' nicely, and all without naps, so that was a little interesting. We had a very good time, as we always do with them. Eliott went straight to bed as soon as we got home...he was exhausted!!! Thanks for everything, we had so much fun!

Happy Halloween!

Our cute little sweet pea-in-a-pod!
And our little skunk! He fit the role perfectly!!!

Tail and all!

Have you ever seen a skunk show you his mad face?!

Wide awake in the pea pod.
