Growing Up

They say that when you have another child, you look at your first born and can't believe how big they seem. Boy, are "they" so right on. From the minute we brought home our little girl, our "little boy" slipped right into "big brother" mode. He has been an amazing big brother from the minute he laid his precious blue eyes on his baby sister. He started to do more Big Boy things around the house too....

Hans, we love you so much and we thank our Lord for you every day. You have a great big heart and such a strong, energetic spirit. You are kind to others and love getting a good laugh out of everyone. You are very outgoing and love to greet people when we're out during the day by flashing your beautiful smile and an enthusiastic, "Hi!".
We look forward to raising you up to be a man of God. We pray that you will always know how much He loves and cares for you!

We love you, Hans!

10 Minutes to a room you'll love

I'm wondering what my husband will think when he asks me "What did you do today?" and my answer won't involve shopping! Wait, I take that back, it DID involve shopping....shopping from my house (Nester Style)! The Nesting Place has been having a series on how to re-vamp rooms in your house in just 10 minutes. She encourages you to find things around your room and just add some changes here and there. I was inspired and decided to rise and shine early Saturday morning (with the help of some snow blowers outside) and apply these strategies to our ever so desperate bedroom.  I have really neglected decorating our bedroom until about 10 minutes ago so please don't judge the before pictures!  Keep in mind that I'm NOT finished yet and I may just end up going shopping OUTSIDE of the house for a few things. However, this 10 minute make-over has made our room just a bit more cozy!! Step 1 : Make the Bed  *Before* *After* Step 2: Personalize it.  Create a tables...

Lately...

Hans is 4 months old today! I haven't yet taken his "official" 4 month photo's but I still wanted to share a couple of pictures I took this week. Hans loves to sit in his high chair now. He likes to play with some toys on there but mainly he just loves to gnaw on the table... Hans can now roll over from tummy to back and from back to tummy. He does it ALL of the time. Here he is after rolling onto his tummy. Such a cutie! I will be sure to post his 4 month pictures soon, along with his 4 month "update".

Dinner from the Garden
