Visiting family

Check out the fun!

Life

It's been a while since our last update. Christmas was a blast and the new year is here. Will is as entertaining as ever. Here are some picture of life as it happens.


Will has now moved into a big boy bed and loves it. When he wakes up in the morning he just sits by the door and plays with the few toys there. We get an extra 30 minutes of sleep this way which is nice.
One day we had ski gloves lying around and Will kept picking them up and trying to put them on. It was really funny seeing him walking around with these giant gloves. He would then shake his hands, the gloves would go flying off, and he would crack up laughing.


Will loves hats, helmets, and anything that goes on your head. At work, he always wants to wear the bike helmets. It's hilarious because it is always falling over his eyes.


Will found a pair of Daddy's socks and made me put them on him. Too funny.


Will with the boys at work. Jack, Ryan, Conor, and Will. So cute. To bad Will wasn't looking at the camera.

Well, that's all for now. We should have more to come soon. Thanks for taking some time to read into our lives a little bit.

Why you should ALWAYS wear your WiiMote wrist strap...

This is the kind of thing that people should see. It's like watching what happens to your brain in a bike accident with and without a helmet. I doubt anyone who sees this will use their Wii again without the wrist strap!

Some tech stuff

At Thanksgiving, a few people in Krista's family asked me to start posting the useful tidbits of helpful information I find online regularly. I know Julie does a lot of stuff with Photoshop Elements and wants to play with it a bit more. I figured this would be a good start:

First is how to remove objects from photos to clean them up:

Second is how to merge two photos together. Put yourself somewhere you've never been!

As I run across this stuff - I'll post more.

It's SNOWING!

I love snow and I love playing in it. I was even more excited to take Will out in it. I was working on Monday...the first day of real snow to play in. We all went out and met up with some neighborhood kids to play in the snow.

We also went over to their school where there are small hills to sled down. Even Conor and Will had a turn sledding. It was both their first time and they had a blast.


Overall, we had such a great time. Will had trouble grabbing anything or getting up once he fell but he loved watching everyone and did fairly well walking around in clunky boots. We were having so much fun we ended up staying out for over an hour and a half.

Giving Thanks

What a fantastic Thanksgiving Day we had. We spent Sunday with the Pankaus and Thursday with the Paynes. God has blessed us with such a wonderful family who all get along and love each other. Both our families are always there to help us out if we need it. God has also blessed us with a beautiful little boy who is so easy going and lively. I thank God that we are all healthy. I am thankful for such an amazing and helpful husband. I also thank God for himself and the wonderful gift of salvation that he has given us. Thank you God for Jesus Christ who loved us so much that he came to die and raise again for our sins.

Here is a glimpse of our Thanksgiving at the Payne's house.





Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
