Christmas 2007

Maren had a great Christmas. About half way through opening presents, I almost pulled some aside to use for her Birthday, but I allowed her to get spoiled instead. She LOVED it! She was SO EXCITED to leave the cookies she made out for Santa.

Luke had a great Christmas too. He got to eat some mashed potatoes, and loved them:) He was so handsome in his Christmas outfit!

Maren Visists Santa

Maren was so excited to meet Santa last weekend. She is really looking forward to Christmas and so are we!!

Four Months!

Luke is now 18lbs and 7oz!!! He is a very big and happy boy! Maren is loving all of the new things he does too. She brings him toys and plays with him all the time. Luke is sitting up with help now but we are still working on rolling over....he is also grabbing toys to put in his mouth.

We set up our Christmas tree and Maren is getting VERY excited for Santa to come. She has no idea what is in store! Brian and I went Christmas shopping this weekend and we found some great things for her! She's going to love it! Luke on the other hand gets his big boy car seat for Christmas (about three months early). Our pediatrician told us that we might want to make the switch around the first of the year (He also said that he is very healthy;) and our four month appt. went great.)

Thanksgiving

Luke got to meet his Great Grandma Mac over Thanksgiving weekend! He is her 13th great grandchild (I think Maren was 10th)!!

Almost four months

The day has come where Luke can finally defend himself against his sister....He has learned to pull her hair and Maren is NOT happy with this new skill. Luke is continuing to get bigger and stronger everyday! We are working on rolling over right now...not there yet though!

3 1/2 months old

Luke is 3 1/2 months old now and he is doing great. He is on a pretty good sleeping schedule now during the day....If only we could get him to sleep through the night!!! His eye is doing great too. We go back to the Dr. on Monday where I am sure they will cut the dose of his medicine in half again:) He is all smiles, and has started to laugh in the last couple of weeks (at almost anything). Very cute:)

Halloween

We were so proud of Maren tonight. She was very brave and walked up to most houses all on her own!! She came home with a full pumpkin of candy and quickly told us it was the "Best Night Ever!!" Luke didn't quite have as much fun....maybe next year for him:)

Beaver Game

On Saturday we took the family down to a Beaver game. We got very lucky and were able to get tickets in the Club Level. We had a great time:) Luke did a great job at his first football game, although watching the game from the comfort of the club level lounge was was pretty ideal:)

Pumpkin Party

Maren, Luke and I went to a pumpkin party at Maren's school today. We had lots of fun hunting for pumpkins!

We have had a great week. Luke got a new seat from his friend Claire and loves it! He loves to be up high and watch us make dinner!

Pumpkin Patch....

Well....we actually didn't make it to the pumpkin patch. After 45 minutes of driving around Dundee looking for it, Brian decided to head into a winery instead....Unfortunately, wine tasting isn't much fun from the car:( I think we'll head to Lee's (a much closer, and easier to find pumpkin patch) after naptime:) Luke was looking extra adorable in his camo though so I still had to snap a couple of pictures!

Two months and 15 lbs!

Seriously, this boy is gaining almost a half a pound per week! He is growing up so fast. He is holding his head up on his own now and Maren has almost gotten the hang of changing diapers.....Maybe in just a few more weeks she'll be ready to babysit:)

Those Beavers....

We got all dressed up in our Beaver gear to watch a very sad game on Saturday. Regardless, the kids and I still had a good time. Brian took it a little hard though.....
