2 months later...

 

It's hard to believe 2 months have passed already!  Life with another little lady in the house has started to 'gel' and we're enjoying our sweet natured little girl.  We're thankful her health has returned!  She loves her big sisters, her African mobile, going for walks, and smiling at anyone, especially Grandpa :)  Enjoy some pictures!

 Story time with Brynlie :)

 Just to keep it real...sometimes life is exhausting ;)

Snuggle time over Christmas break - we all enjoyed some extra sleep!

 Aren't I big?!

 I love my Grandpa :)

Wishing you a glorious day!  This kitchen window view is never the same twice.

Another year

WOW!  It's almost been a month since my last post.  Oops.  Apparently life is busy and time doing 'normal' things comes before blog posts :)

Pictures from the beginning of this new year for you.

We had lots of home days with snuggles over the holidays.  Lana got her first visit to the ER and was given antibiotics for some pneumonia.  Thankfully, she's back to normal again.  You don't miss your baby's attitude until it's gone ;)

 New nightgowns from Oma for Christmas. My Oma - their great Oma, over 80 years old and still making over 20 pairs of pajamas and nighties every year for her church mission sale! :)

 We enjoyed meeting and snuggling baby Rachel Les this Christmas :)  She's 1 week younger than Lana and lives too far away in Victoria :S

 We baked goodies

 

and shared them too

 enjoyed the view

 did a lot of picture taking

Lana was baptized on Sunday, January 5

A few trials to get a family picture...most looked like this

 A couple were a bit better lol

 We marveled at young-looking brothers (who knew under all the hair?!)

 and enjoyed cousin time

 Happy New Year to you!  Hoping it's a great one filled with God's peace and joy :)

One month later!

One month later!  How time flies!
Lana's growing well and loves to smile.  Grandpa knows how to coax them out of her quite well, as we enjoy little visits from him most days :)

 

The bigger girls have adapted to life with another sister and love her to the moon and back.
Brynlie has to be reminded to give her some space some days!

 A few more of life around here...

A skiff of snow and ice meant some time wondering our frozen backyard...

Daddy trying out his newest toy on the Ranger...

Brynlie helping with Christmas mailout...

if your return address is in a funny spot, it's her doing ;)

Some of the beauty of winter, right out the backyard!

To add to the busyness, Leanne and Willetta have been busy with SisterMade
 designing - both custom orders like this board and digital designs for 

Christmas, weddings and birth announcements!

 The beauty of crisp winter sunny days sent us outside for some walks.  Who can resist!?

 A ride in the local Popkum fire truck when they came around collecting food bank donations

Dear Auntie Shelly,

we miss you so much we made hair-do's like yours!  Like them?   

:D:D  Big hugs, Chelsie and Brynlie
