Home...

I am home! Surgery was successful and I am feeling pretty good. I was released a day earlier than I expected and am happy to be home with my boys. I will update soon!

Lucas' Baptism...

You have come into the world so tiny,
Yet with such great promise for the future.
Before you were even born,
God planned wonderful things for you.
As you are baptized,
May you feel His love
And the love of those around you,
And may you always follow in His way.

On December 12th, during a snowy Chicago blizzard we were surrounded with family!

Kevin and Katie are Lucas' sponsors

And Lucas didn't even cry!

Trouble...

6 months old already...can you believe it? He's moving fast....

Aidan and Kai...

The pictures below pretty much sum up Aidan and Kai's relationship...I love it!

Gingerbread Houses...

Aidan's class had their Christmas party yesterday - it was so cute. They each made gingerbread houses (actually graham cracker houses, but they don't know the difference!). Aidan was so proud of his!

Two of Aidan's favorite buddies below...Kai and Anthony

Little Charlie was a little disappointed with his gift so Aidan was so sweet and shared one of his...

Kai's mom (Nalani) prepared cute little snack buckets for the kids

The Principal (and Aidan's teacher's husband) came in and built a boat with the kids...

All the kiddos (except 2- one was on vacation already, the other upstairs in the office because she was sick) showing off their gingerbread houses...

Happy Birthday Kylie!!!

Happy birthday sweet Kylie! We love being able to spend time with you each week. Enjoy your day!

December 13th...Dad's birthday...

Today I celebrate my dad. I'm so sad that he is gone and I miss him so much. But today, on his birthday, I celebrate his life. Our family is going out for dinner tonight - to celebrate and remember. We also have two other birthdays this month that we celebrate - Mom and Kylie!
