Almost Caught Up!

I still have few more pics and videos to upload...this should keep you all busy for a while. Babies are awake..need to go. Love and miss you all.

Abey's Time Out Spot!

This is just a joke, but it was pretty funny! Abe decided to make the fireplace screen his hide out spot...the video says it all!

my beautiful babies!!!

Did someone say CUTE???

Abe in his big boy bed~!!!

Our big guy moved into his big boy room with his big boy bed! I just can't believe how fast time goes by!!!

Feed us mommy!

We have a picture of Abe with a Cheerio on his chin just like Elie...Does every baby get a cheerio on their chin like this?

Elie sits up!

Here is our Elie Bean sitting up on her own...well in one picture she is folded over like a taco. Elie and daddy sitting together. She is growing so quickly, we can't believe almost 8 months have gone by! Yikes!

Abe's Christmas pics..

Abe loves his camera and just for a little while we were able to keep him away from our camera...most of his pics so far are of his face, really close. I think we've even seen the inside of his nose! Eeww!


Abe trying to put a new shirt on as pants! he's trying to do things on his own!

Abe's dog vacuum...it wimpers, barks and makes noise like a vacuum.

Here Abe is with an Abelskiver. Jon gave this to me thinking I could bake muffins in it, but he wasn't really sure what it was. We recently purchased a cast iron skillet, which Jon just loves, (it reminds him of his grandmother's cooking) and he saw this and picked it up. I think we have found a fun tradition in getting a gift for eachother at Christmas that we really don't know what it is. We almost took it back but after doing some research online, we found that it's a German skillet for making dough pasteries. We like to make them with cheese and herbs, blueberries, or any other fruit. It's been a fun gift. Thanks B!

Elie's Butterfly video..

Maybe we are mean, but we thought it was funny/cute how the butterfly was flapping in her face.

Our house at Christmas time...

Here at the house...

Abe is sitting in my rocker from when I was a youngin'... When my dad shipped it to us in Texas, we didn't have a seat for it...So Jon and I tied some jute/rope around the seat and now the kids have their own rocker. I love old items handed down through generations!

A couple pics we took for our Christmas letters...one with our buddy Cassanova...


Here my gang is hanging out watching signing time. Abe's favorite!
