Long Over Due

Well, two months go by in a flash, and I can't believe that I haven't updated this blog. Actually, I can. Two children, one on the way, a busy calendar, and the holidays...etc. I like the idea of the blog as an online scrapbook and a way to keep out of town family updated on the children. So, I will try to post some photos of the past two months, and be more up to date in the coming months.

Speaking of coming month; we are one month away from our expected due date of our third child. We couldn't be more excited! I am also aware of the tired season that is about to come. The sleepless nights and tiring days are still sweet though with that new little one. Craig and I were laying in bed the other night thinking about a new little girl. I wonder what she will look like? Joshua and Karis are so different from each other. Will she look like her own self or resemble one of them? It is fun to ponder.

Today Karis helped me put some clothes in the newly cleaned out dresser that they will share while Joshua pulled out clothes from our recently folded piles! She understands being helpful, and keeps telling me how she is going to help when her new sister comes - feeding her bottles, getting things for us etc. but she has made it clear that she is not interested in changing her diapers!

Here are a few photos from the holidays:

Wrapping paper sword fight!

Christmas Eve

We gave Joshua a bandit set in his stocking. He thought it was great!

This year we gave the children bikes for Christmas. Karis is now learning how to ride a two wheeler (with training wheels, of course) and Joshua loves his tricycle, but is totally unable to stear it! This spring and summer should be fun as we get outside in the warmer weather.

We enjoyed my mom and grandfather for the holiday, and then a visit a week later to see Craig's parents. (I will post those photos next time.)
