November 2010 happenings!

So, we had Thanksgiving at our house last year! It was so sweet to have all the little cousins together! Glad to have captured them all cozy with Grandpa!

Also, we celebrated Trek's 2nd birthday! We realize that this is the only time we will be able to combing his party with Thanksgiving, but it just made sense as we were all together!

Back to blogging!

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted anything! A lot has happened since my last post! So let's see here...last October we had fun at the pumpkin patch. Of course Trek liked to sit on the tractor! It was actually a bit of a challenge to get him to leave the tractor when it was time to go!

Sweet Ole John!!

Yesterday we were so pleased to welcome David and Audrin's little man into the world! Ole John was born at 8:30 a.m. He was 7 lbs and 20 1/2 inches in length. Audrin had a long haul delivery of her sweet little man...I will save that story for her to tell! We were all there shortly after he was born, but didn't get to see and hold Ole until visiting hours later in the afternoon. Audrin was recovering and couldn't have visitors yesterday! We so much wanted to give her our love! Needless to say, we are all so excited about this little guy who looks so much like his momma! Looking forward to many years watching him grow. I can just see Trek, Soren and Ole (the three musketeers) getting into so much trouble together! Bring it on!!!

Love,

Rhonda

Funny boy!

Here's the scenario: Mr. Trek is eating a blueberry pancake with peanut butter on it. He is pretty close to finished with it and stretches out his hand toward me. His hands are of course covered with plenty of what he is eating. He says "Icky, mommy!" Then with hand still aimed toward me he says "Here you go, you're welcome!" I laughed outloud!!! First of all, he is calling what he just spent the last 10 minutes gobbling down, icky! Second of all, why would I want it if he doesn't. Anyway, this is an-almost-two-year-old's perspective! He is a pretty amazing little man...we are in awe of his rapidly changing self. He is speaking in full sentences that we can understand. Knows the full alphabet song. He can say the "L" sound very clearly. Recently when we ask him how he is doing, he says "I'm good!" Then he will run around saying to us "How are you, I'm good!" He can count to 10 in english and spanish!
Okay, this is turning out to be quite a braggy post! I guess I want to be able to look back on this blog and remember the tidbits about him that I will quickly forget!
As we head into fall/winter, I hope I can keep this little guy entertained and learning!
We will see how that goes!

Vacation!!

Yep!! We went on a much needed vacation to Orcas Island at the end of June! We only spent a few days there, but it was exactly what we needed to unwind and celebrate. Andrew is officially done with his residency and we celebrated....it was also our 9th anniversary, so we really needed to get out of town!!

Trek had a great time exploring many rocks, sticks and the deer. There are plenty of deer on the island! A few times we came across some the were bedded down; one instance Trek saw them first and caused quite a stir as he came fairly close to them. I think it scared him a bit when they jumped up so quick and disappeared.

We all had a very relaxing time!
