Happy Birthday Parker!!

From everyone at our house, we wish you a very happy birthday!! We can't believe you are one already!

Natalie and Delia

Natalie agreed to hold Delia. They are such cuties! Natalie really likes to help feed the baby her bottle.

Here She Is...

Sam and Emilie welcomed their sweet little daughter into the world today! They named her Delia Irene. She weighed just 5 lbs 12 oz. What a terrific Christmas gift to our family!

Daddy admires Delia.

Mommy holds the tiny girl.

Natalie is a little shy of the baby. She better get used to a little baby around!

Breakfast With Parker

Parker stayed at our house last night. Natalie and Parker stayed in their jammies to eat breakfast this morning. Here Natalie is giving us her best "cheese" smile. Natalie loves her baby Willy.

Sledding with Daddy

Natalie went sledding with daddy on a very cold day! She had fun even if it didn't last very long.

There they go!!

We have a lot to be thankful this year. If you haven't heard, mommy and daddy are going to be adding another person to our house. Yes, a new baby is coming in early June!! I am so excited. Natalie and I will be great older siblings.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Natalie made a Thanksgiving hat complete with feathers at school. She and I wish you and your families a wonderful holiday! Love, Tanner

Wisconsin Dells

Natalie had a blast at the water parks at the Wilderness Resort. She just loves her Dora swimsuit. Splashing around in the water.

Baby Shower

We had a baby shower for Emilie and Sam's baby girl coming in January. It was a full house, but lots of fun!! The cake turned out pretty good. The diaper cake that mommy made. So sweet!

The balloons, complete with a duck.

Sam got a little feisty during the gift opening.

Natalie even got to help with some of the presents. She needs to learn how to sit with a dress on, so don't mind her! We hope you had a memorable shower for your little girl, Sam and Emilie!

Thanks Auntie Joyce and Uncle Andy!

We thank you for sending us the cookies and chocolate from Connecticut. You know who had fun trying some. It's like she put on some chocolate lipstick.

Happy Halloween!

Natalie went trick or treating as a pirate this year. She had a fun time and has a full bag of treats. Posing before we go.

Kadin is 4

Wow!! Kadin is 4. We all went to his birthday party on Sunday. He loves dinosaurs. What a cool cake! The totally awesome dinosaur we gave him.
Mommy and Natalie enjoying the party.

Playtime!

Natalie is getting good at avoiding bedtime. She wants to keep on playing. Here she is reading in her room.

An action shot: running with Strawberry Shortcake.

Do I want the cell phone or Shortcake? Hmm...
