Christmas Day

We started out Christmas morning at our house opening gifts with the boys. This was Brandon's first Christmas, and he really enjoyed the wrapping paper, forget the toys inside! Then we went to Mom and Dad's for lunch, and spent time with all the family there. In the evening we went to Patrick's parents and closed out Christmas Day there, so we had a very busy day, but it was a lot of fun.

Pregnancy shot

We hit 30 weeks this week in the pregnancy, so I thought it's probably about time I post a pregnancy shot, before too much longer our little girl will be here, Lord-willing!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Adrian and Brandon! They were ready for bed tonight, but we decided to take some shots of them in front of the tree, which they both really cooperated for!

Hat time.....

The beach

Last week we had the opportunity to go away for a few days to the beach (thanks Micah and Holly!). We had a lot of fun, and the kids enjoyed it very much. It was absolutely freezing though, and we didn't get to swim in the ocean at all. The kiddie pool was warm, so Adrian got to go swimming a couple of times.

Birthday time!

The new bike!

Adrian's birthday was November 26th. He was born three years ago in Michigan with about a foot of snow on the ground! That's hard to believe now, since we have had weather in the 80's the past couple of weeks! We thank the Lord for Adrian, and the blessing he is to our family. We surprised Adrian with a bike on the morning of his birthday, and he was so excited about it. Later that day we had his birthday party at the park in town, and celebrated his cousin Andrew's birthday too, who turned three as well.
