New Family Photos

Once again we had our great friend Em with M Photography shoot our family pictures back in early November. She has done our engagement, wedding, maternity and family shots since 2006. Once again she exceeded our expectations in capturing our family.

O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree

This year we had Kellan help us pick out the Christmas tree. We're not like a lot of families who go into the woods to find that perfect tree. Instead we cheat and go to a lot where they are pre-cut. I'm looking foward to having Kellan help us decorate the tree too.

Our Thanksgiving

Keegan got to meet a lot of new people on Thanksgiving day, which meant not a lot of sleep. When he did finally fall asleep...he crashed for about 3.5 hours. With having 2 children now, holidays are a bit more chaotic. I had to fix Kellan's plate and help him eat, then fix my plate, all while Tim fed Keegan and then had his turn to eat. It's sad to say that I don't think Tim and I will be eating at the same time during holidays for awhile. All and all the food was great and now it's time to get back to watching what I eat.

Fighting a cough

Ever since Kellan got RSV when he was just 6 months old, he has always had a really raspy voice hard cough. Our pediatrician recommended we put him back on the nebulizer. We thought we would try the fun fish mask to feed the medication into his system....boy were we wrong.

He was not feeling that at all. After bribing him with fruit snacks and Mickey Mouse he finally settled down. Hopefully he will continue to get better.

I can't forget about Keegan. He is almost 6 weeks already, which means I only have a little over 6 weeks of maternity left...tear.

Happy Halloween

I can't believe it's Halloween already. That just means we are that much closer to Christmas...YIKES!

This year was so much fun trick or treating with Kellan. He did a great job ringing the door bells, saying trick or treat and thank you as well. He just loved digging in the bowls to grab his own candy.

Kellan was a spider this year. Here he is with just the hat on. It took lots of convincing to get the costume on for the first time. Thank goodness we did a few trial runs that morning.

Last birthday in my 20's

I think I may cry...next year I'll be 30 (gasp)!! Well I had my 29th birthday this past Saturday and we celebrated in the Dells. We started the morning out at a pumpkin patch. Kellan got to pet some kitties.

He posed for some pictures.

He saw lots of farm animals.

He painted pumpkins

 End Result. His is on the left :)

We had a nice lunch after the pumpkin patch, hit up the outlet mall and walked around downtown. Overall, it was a great birthday and a great way to spend one of the last weekends as a family of 3.
