'Tis the Season!

By
Merry Christmas! We've had a great Christmas season so far. We stayed in South Bend since we aren't quite up for traveling with Leah just yet, but we were able to see both of our families which was wonderful. Here are some highlights from our Christmas!

We finally got our Christmas tree last Monday - 2 whole days before Christmas!
Ryan found the perfect tree despite a lot full of Charlie Brown leftovers.

This week, Leah really seemed to have discoverd
that nighttime is mostly for sleeping!
She is sleeping in longer stretches at night - a perfect Christmas gift.

(But we still need our nap time!)

One of Leah's 1st Christmas outfits.

(Complete with yet another hat!)

The Dainty family Pinnochle tradition continued.





Leah was able to be spoiled by all her grandparents!

Hope you all have had a blessed Christmas season as well. We have been thinking of those of you we weren't able to see and hope to see you soon! Merry Christmas!

Sam's Blog Debut

By
The Coronavirus pandemic has us hunkering down at home like many people around the country, and we are working to make the best of it!  The kids miss their friends at school and are disappointed about various things that have been cancelled or put on hold indefinitely, however there we are enjoying the time together as a family.  The days are full of extra stories, games, puzzles, bike rides, and walks.  We have started a few activities as part of our "school at home" routine and figured that resurrecting the blog might be a fun way to share what the kids are up to. But first, since the last time I wrote on the blog James was just learning how to crawl, and now James is a 4-year-old big brother, we figured we should officially introduce Mr. Samuel Drexel on the blog!  Sam is 9 months old now and he is lots of fun.  The kids have figured out a few ways to get him belly laughing in recent days.  We all laugh when he crawls after a pilates ball and pounces...

A Few End of Summer Activities

By
Just some recent pictures of the kids and their adventures...Leah is back to school (1st grade) and started pre-team at gymnastics. She mastered her two-wheeler and has been enjoying bike rides since! Wyatt started tumbling and we have at-home learning time when Asher takes his naps, which helps when he feels bummed that Leah gets to go off to school without him! Asher is 18 months now and a bundle of energy and fun. He, I'm sure, is glad Wyatt has another year before preschool! We think he is going to (mostly) like having a new brother around in a few months because he loves babies!

Summer is here! Leah and Ryan's school years have come to a close and we have begun enjoying more time all together. (Ok, also there are more small skirmishes, but it's worth it!) A few pics of some summer shenanigans...
