Christmas


Snowfall just on Christmas morning after we scooped



Kaidence is her Hawkeye gear compliments of Uncle Brent

Well we had a fantastic Christmas here with lots of snow!!! Skyler was so much fun to watch his reactions to his gifts this year. He enjoyed everything he got. Thanks to all!!! He also helped Kaidence open her gifts since she couldn't. For those of you who didn't hear we got lots and lots of snow starting on Dec 23. We got a total of 20 inches between X-mas eve and X-mas day so needless to say we did not make it to church which really bummed us out.

Kaidence had her 4 month checkup on the 23rd and now weighs 12lbs 10oz and is 24 inches long. She is starting to really grow now. It seems like for awhile she just wasn't growing as much. She jabbers all of the time and her giggle just melts your heart. Skyler enjoys holding her and helping play patty cake and reading/listening to books with her. He does a really good job of looking out for her.

Skyler is still in the process of potty training, as we went backwards when Kaidence was born and he wanted nothing to do with the potty but all of sudden he is wanting to sit on it again so hopefully soon!!!

For those of you who have not heard yet my job is being relocated to Columbia South Carolina and I will be without a job as of February 28. There is a chance that they could extend my time with the company and they will have to notify me within a month of my date of termination. Pray that I find something as jobs options are few and far between right now.

Nick has been busy selling Stine seed corn this year. I think he enjoys it because of the new people he meets and the time away from the family but soon he will be out on the ice fishing in his ice shack he won last winter.

That's all for now....HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wow where has the time gone


Recovering from ear infection and a cold


Nap time


She loves her snow suit!!



Trouble....I know


We are missing Kaidence because she was napping

We have been so busy I forgot that I haven't updated the blog lately. Well we love watching Kaidence grow and how much Skyler loves to talk to her and try to help her with things. She is talking like crazy already but is not showing any signs of rolling over yet. Kaidence will be 4 months old on the 26th and she currently only weighs 12lbs.

We have had a not so great last couple of weeks. It started off with me finding out my job will be moved to Columbia South Carolina with not option for relocation so I will no longer have a job as of February 26th unless they extend my time. So back to the job hunt, as if we haven't had to do this enough in this family already. Then this week Kaidence came down with ear infection and Skyler got a cold. She is finally back to normal but for 2 days the poor girl was absolutely miserable.

Skyler is little Mr smarty pants lately and we can't help but laugh at some of the funny comments that come out of his mouth. It's crazy to think he will be 3 in March.

Hopefully everyone has a happy holiday season and a Merry Christmas as "Jesus is the reason for the season!"
