Lately....

Although it's been fairly quiet in the Helderhood, that doesn't mean the camera wasn't busy! Here are some pictures of what the camera has caught the last few weeks....

My two monkeys. I love Keziah's beautiful smile in the first picture, and I love Lincoln's cheeky grin in the second. Now to combine the two would be great!!

Doesn't he look so lonely in his crib all by himself? He throws everything out of his crib every single time he is in bed.

Looks like he is pretty proud of himself in figuring out this new trick of dumping everything out!

We've erased all toys off their lists for this year and put instead: Tupperware.

Nathan took last week off. Somewhat. It sure is hard to stay out of the office when it's on the same property as your house!! But he tried. On Monday and Tuesday we snuck out, just the two of us, to Erie, Pennsylvannia. We like to shop there (last time was 5 years ago) due to NO TAXES. I know, you pay for the gas to get there, but it is so fun to buy something at $19.99 and the cashier says, "That'll be $19.99, please." When you have to pay 13% on pretty much everything here, shopping there was thrilling!!!!

Keziah and Lincoln stayed with Uncle Jay and Aunt Jenn. We didn't drop them off until after 3 in the afternoon, but here is Keziah, all ready and packed to go to Kathryn's house by 8:30 that morning. Do you think she was a little excited??! :o)

This is what happens to Lincoln when he becomes a little too vocal at the table. But don't feel too sorry for him.....see the next picture...

"You still think I'm cute, don't you, Mom?"

We've also enjoyed having some friends over to play with. Here is Lincoln's friend, who is 6 months older. These two are learning to play together.

And here is Keziah's friend. Doesn't it look like they are having fun? Keziah was so thrilled to have Eden over. We don't get to see too much of her friends as a lot of them are now in kindergarten.

And lastly, we spent some time visiting with two very special people. My oma and Nathan's oma. We can never spend enough time with these two matriarchs!! Both of them are in their 80s, just a few years separating them. We thank God for them and pray that He will continue to bless them with health as we enter the cold season (this prayer is also for my other Oma who lives in BC. Distance sucks sometimes....wish we could visit her more often).

  1. When I saw the top picture of Lincoln I thought, "Hey, where's his smile?" It seems he always has a smile on his face and his smile seems to cover his whole face. Delightful.
