Sledding with our neighbors

Olivia's all-time favorite thing to do is to go sledding with the neighbors! Daddy got O and A sleds for Christmas, and now every day Olivia asks if she can go outside to sled! She's really brave out there! They are very good with her and seem to really enjoy having her over to sled with them.





Lauren's 18!

We celebrated Lauren's 18th Birthday last night with a special dinner with all the Michigan cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandma and Pa! Hard to believe she's already 18...time certainly does fly! I remember the day she was born. It was amazing to hold her in my arms, the first infant I had ever held and loved, and watch her grow into the sweet young lady that she is. We're all eager to see what the future holds for Miss Lauren! Happy Birthday Lauren!
A big Peyton smile!

Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you are enjoying the New Year! We've been busy here with all that we do. We haven't been keeping up with the blog because our camera is broken, so until we get around to purchasing a new one, Grandma's camera is helping us out.

Bailey has been busy growing and smiling, and has officially moved on from newborn diapers to size one. Kim cried.
Olivia has moved downstairs to her Big Girl Room, and loves it! She has her own bathroom and we set up her fish tank from Aunt Karen and Aunt Kiley. She has five fish now, two are dalmatian mollies as she is obsessed with dalmatians, especially the movie One Hundred and One Dalmatians. Her fish are named Pongo and Perdita, of course.
Aiden is just as busy as ever. He has no intention of giving up HIS crib and moving into his Big Boy Room with his toddler bed, so we're a bit worried about that one. Anyone have any tips? We'd like to get him into his new room so we can start painting Bailey's new room. Since Aaron has been out of town this week in Marquette, it's quite obvious that Aiden is "Daddy's Little Boy" as he calls out for Aaron all the time and sits at the top of the steps waiting for his Daddy to come home. It's sad and cute at the same time.
NOOOOOOO! MY CRIB!

Bailey already wants to be like her older brother:
