Christmas!

This time last year we made the announcement that we were expecting. It has been a wonderful year as we welcomed Bo into our lives and boy has he brought us such Joy! I hope that you have found Joy & Love this Christmas season. What a perfect gift that we have to celebrate Christmas: Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus!

Our First Real Date!!

On Monday night Dave and I got our first "real" date since Bo was born. This is where we actual did something other than just go out to eat and get groceries. Dave won tickets to the Illini basketball game. So we headed over to Champaign for dinner and the game. It sure was nice to get out of the house after a long weekend indoors due to weather. The game was fun but not like the last one we went to in 2005. Bo stayed with Grammy and Grandpa he had a great time and loves being with them.

Only one week to finish up the shopping and get those Christmas cookies made. We look forward to Bo's first Christmas.

A few things about this week.

Bo has started on some solid foods this week, we introduced rice cereal. Here are a few pics from this experience. The first one was the intial reactions then the second was from three days later. He is doing well at it and still not real sure on the whole idea. We can take it slow that would be alright with Mom.

Also this week Bo started playinng in his Hop n Pop he can really get it going by now! He is just growing so fast. God has truely blessed us with a fun, entertaining and lovable little guy!

Looking Forward to the Holidays!

Will our weeks ever get less busy. Last week was a whirlwind. I watched Kennedy on Thursday then on Friday, Bo went to Aunt Jodi's for the morning so I could go be with Great Grandma Bauer while she had surgery. I am not sure if these two can be around each other that much in such a short period of time. Bo won't stop talking ever since he has been around Kennedy. Today we were in Meijer and he was talking up a storm, a few ladies even commented on it. It might also be a good thing I guess he picks things up pretty quick! I think he has also caught up to Kennedy in the wieght department!

Then on Sunday we got together at Grammy and Grandpa's so we could get a few pics together. Here is just one of my favs. I wonder how long all three will be able to sit in this chair together??
