St. Nicholas Day & Christmas Play

Happy St. Nicholas Day!
Leah & Wyatt found goodies in their shoes this Thursday.
(Love her bed head in this picture!)
 
On Friday, we had the pleasure of watching Leah and Wyatt in their first Christmas "play."
Leah played a sheep, and then she had a costume change in order to play Mary.
Wyatt was an angel... He did not have any speaking lines. :)
They were both fantastic.  I thought Leah might get shy, but she did not.  She belted out
"We Wish You a Merry Christmas" with all her little heart.  And Wyatt avoided
having a meltdown until after the play.  (It started right at his bedtime!)


Wyatt's being held in the back row - he's wearing red pants.

Oh, how precious they are! Makes me cry with joy at how lucky we are to have such gifts from God!

A Very Belated Welcome to Baby James Lawrence

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...

Happy Birthday to Grammy!

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!

Sam's Blog Debut

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...
