So far behind......

I am so behind on this blog...but I wanted to put a few updated pictures from the past month for those of you that still check this. When I get a little more organized I will do some more....

Cold in South Florida!

Well believe it or not we woke up this morning to a very cold 39 degrees here in Fort Lauderdale. Now I know those of you that live where it is -17 almost every morning right now have little sympathy for me or my family, but when you are used to 70 degree weather this feels very cold. The girls are so cute, they really don't like the cold weather, they usually panic when we go out side and it is cold like this. This morning I insisted that we take pictures because this is a once in a lifetime experience for them and of course they were freezing by the time we were finished with the photo shoot......it is so funny to me...expecially since I grew up in such cold weather:) Anyways here are some cute pictures of the kids....

A New Year....

I am going to attempt to stay on top of things...it has been so long since I updated. We started the new year off well. On January 1st we went and spent some time at the beach with just our family. It was a little cold but the kids had a great time. It was Cole's first time to the beach and he really enjoyed the nice breeze and laying out on the blankets. He is getting so big already. He is almost 3 months old and is reaching 17lbs! He was 16lbs 10oz at 2 months. He is a healthy boy...more pictures to come:) Daddy and son footprints:)

Pageant time again.....

If you have been reading our blog for awhile you know that our family is involved every year with the pageant at our church. Last year Brianna sang a solo and this year Cole has had the privledge to play a very important role...baby Jesus! He has done a great job. The pageant started last Friday night and he was baby Jesus for four performances. I took a picture of him getting ready and on stage, but they are not very clear because I was so far away. Our friend who takes awesome pictures, took some with his camera which are much better, so as soon as I have some of those pictures I will post them. Brianna is also in it again and this year she is a gumdrop girl in the children's song. She does a little dance on stage, it is very cute!! Paul is also in it again, singing and acting.....

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My parents stayed and enjoyed Thanksgiving with us before they headed home to Chicago. It is the first time we have had Thanksgiving at our house. The week of Thanksgiving Al and his family came and stayed a night before they went to Disney World. They enjoyed meeting Cole and the girls had so much fun with their cousins.

Our new family.....

I love this picture! Are they so sweet!!

Our new baby boy

Here are some more pictures of Cole...I am going to try and keep up with sending out more pictures. I know there are a lot of you asking for more pictures:)
