Merry Christmas!

I have LOTS of blogging to catch up on,

but here's a quick pic from Christmas morning.

Polka-Dotted Baby

Blake was diagnosed with his first ear infection last week on Monday. And after 8 days of antibiotics, he broke out in a head-to-toe rash. Now he's on a hefty dose of Benadryl and can never go near amoxicillin again! Ok, maybe a bit extreme...but the doctor said it's a "pretty extensive allergic reaction." Hopefully it clears quickly. It looks so irritating, but he's a champ!

Random November Days

Carly and Carter playing baseball in November - it was 65 outside!

Such a happy little guy!

Thanksgiving

So i'm running a little late on these photos... You know how it is in December - survival mode while you prepare for Christmas, right?? Anyway, enjoy these photos from our Thanksgiving at Auntie Karen and Uncle Cliff's house.

Carter approached Chris on the couch and said (in a deep voice) "Hey, Chris! You wanna pway downstairs wif me??"

Playing with Hot Wheels!

This is how Carter carried the cars back

upstairs so they could ride the ramp again

Oh, the holidays :)

We got our Christmas Tree in Birch Run this year, then headed up to see Evan's parents for a while...

Finding the PERFECT Christmas tree!


Brrrrr...

Sweet little Blakey

Embracing Winter

Seems like winter came right on cue with December 1st. We're doing our best to embrace it, although we miss being able to play outside all the time. Here's a few pictures of our most recent events :)

Don't worry - I'll fill in some holes over the weekend.

Our living room with the beautiful Christmas tree

Blake (5 months) and Brenna (6 1/2 months)

Carter and Brady at the Township Christmas Tree lighting (we only stayed about 20 minutes b/c we found out that they weren't lighting the tree for another hour and 15 minutes!)

Brenna at her 6 month photo shoot


Carter entered the library's Gingerbread House contest and WON for his category. Obviously, he's so proud - and so are we! He had such a fun time building and decorating it. His hard work paid off, and he won a $20 gift card to Marshalls.
