Baby's First Picture

We recently had my ultrasound - and here are our new little one's first pictures! We did not find out what we are having. So like us you will have to wait a while longer to call our baby a "he" or a "she". The baby weighed 14 ounces at this ultrasound. It is always amazing to see life when so little and so fragile. We enjoyed seeing our little one moving around!

This first picture is of the foot and leg.
This second picture shows the hand, arm, and face - on the far left looking downward and towards the right.

Some Fun Moments

Simon's toy kitchen has spent the last few months un-played with in his room. We started to move toys out of his room and put this large toy in the basement. Of course, he started to play with it like crazy! Here Simon put on his apron and chef hat from Grandma Wiens for the first time! He cooks up quite the delicious meal! Simon situated himself just so on the couch with a pillow behind him, a "bankik" and a "maa deen" to be just like Mommy!

"Squirrel Eat Pumpkin"

This was our view each morning our pumpkins were still on our front porch! Simon exclaimed "squirrel eat pumpkin"! The squirrel and Simon were so close that only the window separated them!

Halloween

It has been a while since we updated our site, because our computer had a virus. We were able to restore it and save everything, thank goodness! Simon and I had a terrible cold that put us under the weather for about a week. We are now all back up and running! Here are some pictures of pumpkin carving and Halloween night! He did not quite appreciate scooping out pumpkin guts, but enjoyed watching Eric carve his happy face jack-o-lantern!
