Addie and Charlie

These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago. I had Charlie on a Friday and we went to a play date at someone's house. On the way back they both fell asleep in the car. They were leaning the same way, so I thought it looked cute and ran to get the camera.





I set them on the couch and both were still sleeping. Charlie woke up as soon as I had the camera out.

Christmas decor

We have gotten the Christmas decorations up around here. Addie has been pretty good with it all, surprisingly. She's tried testing us by touching ornaments after we told her no. A few swats on the bottom have solved the situation. Now she squats in front of the tree and stares at it.

To be the mother of your Savior... how amazing and humbling would that be?


Camels are funny looking creatures.


What I wish for some day.... some day I will have one of those. :)


Super baby! Addie's ornament last year.


My favorite ornament when I was a kid. I picked it out at Brauner's Christmas Store in Frankenmuth, MI.


Addie seems to like this ornament in particular. I see some similarity to my favorite when I was a girl.


Addie points to this one and says, "Baby!" This is her cousin Andrew.

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving Day at some friends of ours who live up in St. Paul - Ryan and Erin Hulse. Ryan is a teacher at the new middle school at St. Croix Lutheran High School. Erin stays home with their 2 boys - Malachi and Tristan, and are expecting a girl in January. They had 2 girls from MLC staying with them for the weekend, and they also invited Nate and Mary Hochmuth (Nate is also a teacher - both went to MLC with us) who have 2 kids - Natalie and Isaiah. (By the way, "little" 8-month Isaiah weighs more than Addie, and they're approximately the same height) Needless to say, it was a packed house! Some of the kids were sleeping during supper time.



Here are the kids awaiting the Hochmuths arrival.
