Fun, fun, fun!

The kids and I spent a week in McCall while Nic was at a conference in Michigan. We had a great time playing with Grandpa and Grandma, as well as Aunt Liesel and the Leonards. We even were able to celebrate Aunt Liesel's birthday with her! That was a special treat. Upon returning home, I found myself on bedrest due to early signs of delivering. Grandpa packed up the kids and headed back to McCall leaving me on the couch with Nic as my gopher. We spent 3 weeks without the kids, but they were too busy to notice. They got to have more fun with Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins. We have the kids back home with us, but I am still on moderate bedrest. We are at week 30 and going forward.

Anyway, we can't seem to go far without finding a swing to play on. The kids LOVE playgrounds.




Elise loves to help in the kitchen. Being at Grandma's was no exception.



Aunt Liesel's birthday celebration.



More playgrounds!




Elise fell in love with Princess. She helped to feed her each morning.



It wasn't the 4th of July, but Elise sure enjoyed her ice cream! Grandpa helped her to be very decorated!



The kids were supervising Nic as he made dinner...it was delicious!



Halloween has been fun. We all had a pumpkin to decorate. Nic helped Elise carve hers and then he did his own. I helped Hans decorate his with markers and stickers as well as mine. We had a bunch of fun! The kids dressed up as Snow White and Tigger. They loved going Trick or treating at the church and then around a few streets. These are some fun memories!








We are 30 weeks along today. It seems like this pregnancy has gone by fast, yet slow enough to "enjoy" all the bumps. The kids are very excited to have a baby at home; Elise is awaiting when she can rock her sister to sleep. What a precious girl! Hans loves babies, so it will be fun to see how he reacts to one being around 24/7. We are excited to have her come. Want to know her name?.... ABH are the initials...good luck guessing! :0)






We hope you have enjoyed seeing what we have been up to these past couple months. The next couple months will have some more exciting times. Peanut will be arriving as well as the Holidays that come with ending the year. We hope you and yours are doing well. May you be blessed this Holiday Season.
