Just Chillin'

As the weather gets colder and colder, we are spending more and more time bundling up and cuddling inside! Here are just a few cute pictures of us "hanging out!"

Lucy SOOOOO wants to just get up and go!

Reading a book with Papa!

Drooly Lucy!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so much fun this year! It was our "big" holiday here in Kenosha, and we celebrated at Gramma and Papa's house with all our cousins, aunts and uncles. Gramma made an AWESOME supper and managed to find room to seat 27 (ish?) people all around the dinner table. We have so much to be thankful for this year- the addition of Lucy Elizabeth, lots of new cousins to play with, jobs, good health, great family..... We hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving as much as we did and found a few peaceful moments to reflect on what you are thankful for this year!

Sharing a good book with Unky Dougie.

Maggie was a little excited to play with all of her cousins....

Nothing says Thanksgiving like a rousing game of Ring Around the Rosie

Us.

What a great time for daddy to be out of town....

As many of you know, Dan is off hunting this week north of the Green Bay area (on a side note- he called at 9:30 am Saturday morning and had already shot a 4 point buck!) Unfortunately, he missed quite the conversation this afternoon while Maggie and momma worked on changing Lucy's diaper. It went something like this:

Maggie: "Momma, Preston (a boy at school) has sumpin weird by his butt."

Mom: "Weird? By his butt? Like what?"

Maggie (looking extremely confused): "Momma, it's this weird thing by his butt like an elephant's nose!"

Needless to say, Momma was laughing so hard poor Maggie never really did get a true answer... Maybe we'll leave that one for daddy to explain when he gets home????

Look what I can do!

Lucy's new trick! She's been rolling over "accidentally" since she was a few weeks old. Yesterday it just kind of "clicked" and she has been doing it all weekend! Check her out!

Giggle Monster!

Friday night, Lucy had a BAAAAAAD case of the giggles! It all started when we were playing on the floor. Lucy looked at Maggie and just started giggling and giggling... which, in turn, caused Maggie to giggle and giggle. Maggie thought this was "super hilarious" (her words, not mine!) and decided to do all sorts of silly tricks to make Lucy laugh even more.... She found that "falling over" was got the best results- and dropped to the ground again and again and again.... We were having so much fun and laughing so hard, we almost forgot to grab the camera! By this time, Lucy was just about giggled out (and had the hiccups to boot!) but we still managed to catch a few good ones!

Enjoy- there is nothing quite like baby giggles to bring a smile to your face!

Vaccinated!

This evening Maggie went to the doctor to get her flu shot (the seasonal flu shot, not the H1N1- we are still debating on that one...) Anyway, in preparation, mommy told her that she might get a shot, or she might get something squirted in her nose. Maggie was super concerned about the shot, so we even packed a special band-aid to wear, just in case. Much to mommy's relief, she just got the nasal mist. When it was all said and done, Maggie insisted on her "special band-aid" anyway.... it made her nose feel much better!

Snuggle Butts!

Last week, after I took a shower, I came back to the bedroom, turned on the light, and found THIS in my bed:

Needless to say, it took every ounce of self-control to keep myself from crawling right back in to bed and being late for work!
