Sarah's Photo Shoot

Sarah had so much fun helping with Natalie's pictures that she decided to be a photographer. Here is her photo shoot from Sunday afternoon. These are a few shots of her American Girl dolls.

6 Month Photo shoot

Natalie is 6 months! Sarah & Nate helped me take some fun pictures of Natalie....they are great assistants and we had a lot of fun.

Sarah makes Natalie laugh

Jan. 10th - Sarah was the first one to really get Natalie laughing.....what a riot! She thought it was so funny when Sarah threw her sweatshirt up in the air and it landed on Natalie's head!

Christmas 2007

We celebrated Christmas here in Minnesota and then headed to Michigan to celebrate with the Dufon family. Before we left we were able to webcam Mom & Dad Keeling to wish them a Merry Christmas. This Christmas was special because it was Natalie's 1st. We celebrated mass on Christmas Eve with everyone helping out. Steve led the ushers, Nate helped serve, and Kim and Sarah both sang in the choir. Natalie got to hang out with a good friend during church. Then we came home and introduced Natalie to our family tradition of a dinner of "snack food" and opening one present. We always get new PJ's on Christmas Eve and this year we got a family game too. It was a late night for me and Steve because Nate decided this year that he was going to catch Santa! He didn't quite catch him, but was up at 3 am checking out the presents.....luckily he waited until 7:00 to wake anyone else up!


We had a great trip to Michigan and enjoyed seeing all the family. This year we stayed at the Thompson's and the kids had a great time playing with their cousins 24/7. Of course we also spent time at the farm and by the end of our visit even had snow for some snowmobiling. Good food, great family, loads of fun! That just about sums it up!

Skating Party

While we were in Michigan celebrating Christmas with family, we got together with friends from the kids' old school. We decided to meet at a skating rink and sent out an open invitation for people to join us. Wouldn't you know it, the day we were planning to meet was the day a winter snowstorm hit the area. Even with terrible roads and blowing snow we still managed to meet up with about 12 people. It was great to see our friends and the kids had a good time skating.
