January Happenings

It's been a busy and fun month. Tyler has been wanting to have a campfire, so Dave told him he could roast marshmallows and hot dogs with him in the fireplace. He LOVED it!


We drove out to Lincoln to visit my cousin, Cheryl, who works at a horse breeding farm. They have over 60 horses. Tyler enjoyed feeding them carrots.




We also spent a Saturday morning at the river. It was chilly, but nice. Tyler is loving his new outdoor chair that he received for Christmas, and Jayne enjoyed her first outdoor ride in the double stroller!



Our sweet little girl is growing up so fast! She's already three months old.

Christmas Countdown

So...I'm going to try and attempt to do a daily picture(s) as we countdown to Christmas. Here we go! Hope you are enjoying this special season as we prepare for our Saviour's birth!

Apple Hill

Back in mid-November we celebrated Tyler's birthday and spent the day at Apple Hill with both sets of grandparents, one set of great-grandparents, my sister-in-law, and my cousin, Cheryl! It was a beautiful day. He was able to go on a pony ride, a train ride and sit on a giant pumpkin! What a fun day!!

Our little peanut

We are loving life as a family of four. Tyler is a great big brother and loves showing his baby sister off to anyone who is nearby.

Jayne's first night home we had all the family over for dinner and had a birthday party for her. The older kids loved it!

This is Daddy & Jayne's favorite night time activity

She loves to stick out her tongue
