Fun Shots

I'm making the kids pose together...

Getting closer to a smile for you all!
Daniel was soo funny this day, I had to put up the pic of him wearing his underwear on his head in front of the tree (which he decorated).

Santa Visit and more

It's been a busy holiday season. Here we are at Church making crafts and seeing Santa.

You can see how much Daniel LOVED Santa :)

Automotive Acrobatics

So Nate dropped Tim and Liz off at the airport this morning a little before 5AM today and on the way home had an interesting adventure. Shortly after getting back on I35W north towards Minneapolis, I hit a patch of black ice. I was driving under the posted speed limit due to the dicey conditions, when suddenly I found myself sliding sideways and began fishtailing down the middle of the interstate. I ended up spinning around and slid backwards into a concrete barrier that was directly adjacent to the right lane of the interstate, and stopped, facing on-coming traffic in the right lane. There were a lot of cars coming, so I couldn't turn around and get out of the way. Many of those cars were swerving and sliding around trying to avoid my truck. I bailed out, jumped over the barrier and ran a few yards up a hill, just in case someone were to slide into me. Fortunately nobody did, however two other cars did bump each other while trying to stop in front of my truck.

I successfully managed to single handedly close down I35W for about 30 seconds while the highway helper stopped traffic so I could turn around. How fun is that!!!

Below are a couple of pics of the damage. Not too bad considering what could have happened had there been other cars next to me, or if someone would have slid into my truck after I stopped spinning. What a fun morning ;)

2 Months

I can't believe Andie is already 2 months old. We're getting a lot of smiles and some cooing. She's still a great baby. At our Dr. appt this morning, we found out we have a mild case of thrush on her tongue-which we'll fix with some fun yellow solution applied to it. Other than that, she's doing great. Here are her stats:

height: 23in- 73%

weight: 10lb 9oz - 41%

head: 40cm - 80%

We'll keep working on the smile shots. I'm sure we'll get one soon!

Cookie Time

On Friday, Daniel and mommy had a great time making gingerbread cookies! This is Jen's favorite activity of the Christmas season. Mommy said Daniel was a great help. He spread flour all over the bread board (and floor), rolled the dough, and used the cookie cutters! Look at the great job they did decorating them!

The best part!

More Fun Stuff

Here are some more fun pictures taken today... Daniel is singing the ABCs to her.

And, here is the super smart boy :)

It's December!!

Here's our Christmas Picture! Now I just have to get the cards made...

Last night, Daniel wanted to show me his new trick. Look at this kid-no wonder we're exhausted every night. He sure had a great time watching himself on the camera afterwards!
