Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

We had a snowy Thanksgiving this year. Grandma and Grandpa Mehlbrech came up for the feast, along with Aunt Becky. We had a great meal, if I do say so myself.

Val [Grandma Mehlbrech] and I braved Black Friday. We left the house at 3 a.m. and it was cold!!! 10 hours later, we returned home with a van full of items. Not many people can say that they braved the Mall of America on Black Friday, but we did it! Thanks for a great day, Val!

Emma - 4 Months




Emma had her 4 month appointment recently. She was a whopping 15 pounds, 10 ounces!! That is in the 85% for weight. For length, she was 24 and 3/4 inches, which is in the 75% for height. She has a peanut of a head...only 25% for that.


The doctor said that she is ahead developmentally for gross motor skills. She did roll over once, but I think that was a coincidence. Otherwise, she is my beautiful, smiley, and happy girl.

While Daddy Was Away, Grandma and Grandpa Came to Play!!


The first weekend in November, Matt decided to go pheasant hunting with his dad and crazy uncles. So, Grandma and Grandpa Eagle came up to visit! They had such a good time, they even wore Emma out in her Jumparoo!!

The Start of Solids!!




But mummy, I don't like this new stuff!!

Troy's School Photos



Troy's teacher said that he liked having his picture taken so much that he kept going back in line for more! I am amazed that they got him to put his hands on his knee and have him sitting so nice! Is this really my 2 year-old??
