Our Christmas Tree

Here is a picture of our Christmas tree that has been up for the past 3 weeks. It is about 8 1/2 feet tall.

Keely's 2

(Pictured here wearing baby legs that Allison made.)

Well...that happened on Wednesday night at 11:21pm (since she was born CST). Her birthday is the 17th. We celebrated by going to Red Robin with her. (Luke left early Thursday morning to go sing down in Tucson for the weekend.)


I can't believe that my baby is two! We went to the doctor yesterday and she had her hemaglobin checked and two shots. She didn't cry at all when the doctor finger pricked her to get the blood for her hemaglobin test or for her first shot. The second one must have hurt more because she cried on that one. She has grown three inches since the beginning of August! So, she is now 35 3/4 inches and weighs 25 pounds and 15 oz. She is now in the 95th percentile for height. (What?????)

Dogsitting

We are dog sitting right now for some friends. We are watching two dachshunds. The kids (I think) think they are theirs to keep. So, I try to keep reminding them that they are only staying at our house for a week. Tyson especially loves them!



Almost falling asleep with his new found friends.


Hugs for the Kewpie and Tinker.


More hugs. He just loves them and was telling me tonight when they go home we are going to get three dogs.

My Wreaths

I have been working on these wreaths for a LONG time. I was actually hoping to post these pictures back on the same day that I did the pumpkin cookies. But, it took me a lot longer to make them than I anticipated. It was around 12 hours of labor, but they only cost me $7. I am not sure if this is the finished product or if I am going to add some more ribbon or red berries. But, I wanted to have them hanging on the front doors instead of still sitting inside. (For you curious minds...they are made by taking Sweet Gum Maple Tree's seed pods and sticking them into a straw wreath.)
