Daum Christmas

We spent the last week in Murdo celebrating with the Daum family. It was a crazy weekend as we received the blizzard of 2009 while there. We took off a day early to make it in before the storm and stayed one more day then planned to make sure the roads were safe for travel. We had lots of fun and didn't get cabin fever too bad.

Thanks Uncle Heath for the cool helicopter toy.Micah's 1st Christmas and first taste of sweet potatoes, he likes them!

Cool dude with his Nana.

Braving the winter weather. After three days of being inside it finally got nice enough to venture out for some fresh air and a little snow fun.

And this is what we came home to.

6 months!

Our little man is 6 months old! He is a big boy weighing in at 19 lbs. 2 oz. and is 28 1/2 inches long.

A completed bathroom!

The shower curtain has been hung in the bathroom with care and the hopes of taking a shower upstairs have happened! We are done with our big bathroom project and are enjoying it so much.

A few fun pictures

Mommy and her smiley little boy.
We got more snow and there was actually enough to play in this time.
Great Grandpa Gordon made this cool marble toy for Ethan and Micah.

Ethan's friend, Nathan, was over to play and all the boys enjoyed storytime.

Snow!

We got snow this past week so decided it was time to buy Ethan snowboots. Mommy got back from the store and Ethan wanted to put them on right away and go outside and try them out. We didn't have much snow but he didn't care. Ethan and Daddy had some fun outside and broke in the new boots.

Carlson family weekend

We spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Rochester with the Carlson clan. It was a very full weekend; Thanksgiving, Stan's birthday and Christmas. We had a very fun time being home with everyone and also meeting Deborah's boyfriend, Joe. We'll share a few pictures of our fun week.
