No skinny-minnies here!!

Olivia had her 2 month appointment yesterday, and got her shots. That is always sad when you have to inflict pain upon your child, but I guess it is for a good reason. But we always knew she was a BIG girl, but she weighed 16 lbs. 4.5 oz., and was 24.5 inches long. She is one chunky-monkey!! So I had to take a picture so you could see some of her rolls. Her diaper is actually hiding a couple too. At this rate, I am going to have to get her a training bra soon!! ;)

Sleeping... in any position

I went in to check on Jaedon last night before going to bed myself, and this is the position he was in. I had to just smile, and think of what a silly child I have at times. I just love my little family!!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas...

For family home evening we got out the Christmas decorations, and set up the tree, (or trees, since they are just 3 little ones). But Jaedon was SO excited to see all these fun ornaments. And then when we brought out the presents to put under the tree, the excitement rose even more, and he wanted to open them right then. So it's making Jon and I excited for Christmas day. Jaedon just hovers around the tree all day and will sit and look at the lights and the ornaments and of course has to touch them all and play with them, so we will see how long some of the ornaments last on the tree.

Olivia's Blessing

We blessed Olivia on Sunday, and it was a wonderful day. Jaedon even sat through the blessing being quiet, but was wanting to go up and stand with Dad. Olivia looked so cute in the dress too. So of course I took a TON of pictures of her in it.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving on Friday this year, because Jon's family came to visit and they spent the day in DC on Thursday with Liz, and then they came up on Friday. So Jon and I had our first Thanksgiving where we had to prepare EVERYTHING!! It was quite the task and challenge, due to lack of space, pots and pans, and considering we took our turkey out and it wasn't done, but we had finished everything else. So we had to cook it longer and everything else got cold in the mean time. So then we had to put everything in the microwave to warm it up, and that just is never good. But regardless it tasted pretty good and we enjoyed everyone's company.

I did it!

SO, I finally gave in and am doing a blog for our family. I have been doing one for my whole family, but I don't think everyone wants to really look at that one, and I won't feel as bad posting all of the time and taking up all the space with just my family. So here it is!!
