Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to All!

Here is a picture of our growing baby....6 weeks and 12 pounds.

We're gonna need a bigger boat (swing)!

Smiley Baby

Drew has begun to smile at us! Both Collin and Shawn enjoy trying to make him smile at them, they are both successful!

He is growing up

Look who lost his first tooth! last night Collin was brushing his teeth with his new Spin brush and all of the sudden his mouth has blood in it and he was crying. Then, I told him his tooth was very loose and out came the tooth and the tears stopped! He has now lost his first tooth! It went from hardly loose to out! I don't know what he did with his toothbrush to get it to come out so fast because I always remember the teeth hanging by a thread and they still wouldn't come out. He is quite proud of the hole in his mouth.

Winter is here!

I think it is safe to say that Winter is in full swing. We did not get as much snow as our MN friends, but the ground is covered and the roads are icy. Our biggest issue is the freezing cold. The wind chill is below zero, which means we are inside instead of outside playing in the snow.

We made gingerbread houses over the weekend. We did the milk carton graham cracker method, I know some of you remember this! Collin and Shawn really enjoyed making their own houses and now they just keep asking when they can eat it. The person who enjoyed in the most was Micah! He made the small middle house without using a milk carton. Surprisingly, he had never made houses with milk cartons before. Maybe it was an East Coast thing.

On Friday before the warm up and rain, Micah took Collin and Shawn sledding. They loved sledding and Collin loved his new sled from Aunt Betsy and Uncle Kirk. Drew had a turn on it in the house. We don't have any other sledding pictures this time since it was a one parent outing while the other stayed home with Drew.

Enjoy the winter weather wherever you are!

4 weeks

These past few weeks have flown by! Drew is now 4 weeks old and more than 10 pounds. He is sleeping a good 6 hour stretch at night. Look for a post next week about what helps him to sleep so well. For now, enjoy the picture.

Happy Birthday Collin

Collin is 6! We had a low key birthday this year. We were lucky enough to have Beth, Chloe, and Liam here to celebrate Collin's birthday. He chose a chocolate cake this year. We celebrated by a trip to Chuck E Cheeses. We also went to the restaurant of his choice last night, Stir Crazy. Happy Birthday Collin!

Having Fun with all the cool games.

Birthday Cake!

Let the Holiday's begin!

A fun activity we did before Thanksgiving, was cookie decorating with our cousins Kyle, Brooke and Claire. They all loved decorating (eating) the cookies.

Claire and Drew Hanging out...no decorating for them this year

We were lucky enough to have several visitors for Thanksgiving. Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Noah and Uncle Levi all came for the weekend and stayed with us. See some pictures in the previous post.

We also had visitors stop by....Zimmerman cousins and even a cousin of mine from California, Jon.

Life in the Fast Lane

These days are flying by! I can't believe Drew is just about 3 weeks old. We are still trying to get into a good routine at our house having 3 boys with wants and needs. I am learning to let things go for later. Here are some pictures to enjoy from our Thanksgiving Day Weekend. I will put up some more later in the week with other visitors we were lucky to have!
