Jumping on the couch

One day last week while Nina was over playing with Libby she showed her how fun the couch can be, especially if you take the cushions off. Our family room has now turned into an obstacle course. Alex and Libby both are having a blast! Libby on the couch and Alex with the cushions that are on the floor. There suddenly seems to be a lot of gymnastics going on at my house. Who wants to place bets on which child of mine ends up in the ER first?!?!?

I love my snow boots!

Libby just loves her snow boots and wants to wear them all the time. She also enjoys looking out the window on the footstool, her Daddy taught her this fun trick. I will be glad when she learns how not to fall off!

Another snowy day!

Today was another snowy day, in fact Alex did not have to go to school, YEAH! Alex was outside most of the day and finally Libby and Daddy got to join her. What fun they had. Daddy made a sledding ramp off the deck that everyone got to enjoy. Here are some wonderful pictures that Angela, my neighbor, took. Let me know if any of you are interested and I will give you her info, she is a photographer. How lucky am I?!?!?!

a snowy day

Today, Libby got to go outside and play in the snow with daddy. It was the first time and we could hardly get her back in. I had to bribe her with hot chocolate. And they were out there forever!! Libby is very lucky to have such a great daddy, her mommy would have never taken her out in the snow!!

trying on daddy's hat

I promise that I am a good mommy, she had stuff on her face. This is just what happens to her and daddy. You could just watch her cheeks go back to normal. When it was all said and done she was fine, no chapped cheeks! Yeah!

Happy New Year!

So I know that it has been a while, and I am sure that it will only get worse. But instead of going back and posting the times that I missed I am going to at least try and start from now. Here are a few pics from Jan.

This is from new years eve. Libby work up at around 11:30PM so instead of just letting her go back to sleep as I normally would, we let her get up. We had a very fun night at home just our family!
Libby and her new picnic table, she LOVES it! It will be so nice to have on the screened in porch this spring.

Here is Libby with daddy's ear muffs and gloves on. We had to tell daddy bye-bye and good luck on his first day of school that day! Libby misses him a lot during the day. She really got used to him being home. She thinks that he goes to school with Alex.

Its a ......

BOY!

I am sure that most of you have already heard but for those of you who have not.... We are very excitedly expecting our first boy. It came as a big surprise to me, after having 2 beautiful girls I just expected to have another one. We are thrilled and I think Alex is most of all. She has said all along that it was a boy. I guess next time I will listen to her!

This is his hand, We think that he has his daddy's long fingers.

This is the image that we saw the second that she put the wand to my belly. She did not even have to move it to see that it was a boy! I guess he did not like being called Elaina!

On Fri Libby and I met Alex at the bus stop and headed down to the zoo for a little Halloween fun. It was a beautiful afternoon and we had a blast. Alex has just as much fun as Libby does. Poor Libby's teeth were bothering her the whole time, it did not make her grouchy, but she chewed her cheeks all day. Radio Disney was there and Alex had fun entering Libby in the costume contest. We only had about 2 1/2 hours there and I have to say it was perfect. We went trick or treating and saw all the things we wanted to! What a fun time with my girls!
