Especially For Aunt Jessica

By
Aunt Jessica has been anxiously awaiting nine month photos of Leah, so here they are Auntie!  Leah was nine months a few days ago.  At her checkup she weighed 19 lbs, 10 oz and she is 29 inches long.  Our infant car seat can't be used past 30 inches, so this weekend we took a trip to Babies R Us with BOTH grandmas to get a new one.  We made a tunnel out of the box and Leah had a blast crawling through it.  We would close the flaps and she figured out how to slither through and then she would crawl out and clap for herself.  So cute!  (There's a video down below.)  She is in such a fun stage right now.  She is not walking yet, but she crawls at the speed of light when she wants to, and she can pull herself up to stand on the furniture and walk holding on.  She's also starting to wave bye-bye and babble with new sounds.

YEA! Thank you. She is too adorable. And I picked a new desktop picture from the cute collection!
Wish we were there with everyone. Hope to see you guys soon! Hugs and kisses (for everyone, but especially for Leah!)

It was such fun being together this past weekend. We had fun playing with Leah, playing pinochle, shopping, and of course golf for Ryan and Grandpa!

A Very Belated Welcome to Baby James Lawrence

By
Ok. So, I haven't updated the blog in QUITE some time.  And I have received subtle and not-so-subtle hints that certain loved ones far away would like an update!  I will work on uploading some recent pictures and events! I feel it is only fair to give James a dedicated post, as I never posted pics here when our sweet new little guy was first born.  As you can imagine, life has been a bit crazy around here.  The good kind of crazy...  But crazy. James was born 11/27/15 - almost a whole month earlier than his due date!  He was 6 pounds, 10 ounces.  He had a little stay in the NICU while his lungs strengthened and healed, and then we brought him home in time for Christmas.  His first name, James, is Ryan's dad's name (and Ryan's middle name.)  His middle name, Lawrence, was my Grandpa's name.  He has two awesome patron saints and namesakes!  He is now almost 6 months, is rolling, babbling, laughing, and starting to eat...

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...

Happy Birthday to Grammy!

By
We started off our summer a few weeks ago visiting Grammy B (B for Barbara!) at her house to celebrate her birthday.  The kiddos had fun visiting with Uncle Max and Uncle Gus and the boys got to dig through their old Legos which was awesome.  Aunt Teresa and Cousin Gracie came too - what fun to see the cousins play!  We went to the park and the splash pad, and also attempted a hike at a state park near by.  Happy Birthday Mom/Grammy!  We love ya!
