Christmas 2008

This year we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Cando, North Dakota with Mandi's family. Blake's cousins, Sophie and Grady, had a great time sitting at the Cars table to eat their Christmas meals! Blake seemed to enjoy the wrapping paper and bows more than the gifts! The Sunday after Christmas we spent at Randy's dad's house with the other cousins!

Sled Ride

Blake got a new sled from Grandpa Ron and Claudia for Christmas! Randy and Blake decided to try it out for the first time yesterday while I was at school. Notice Randy's makeshift mittens and snowpants-- Randy's tube socks wrapped around Blake's arms and legs and held on with rubberbands! That is such a guy thing! They sure had fun!

Blake is 11 months old!

Only one more month until Blake celebrates his 1st birthday! It is hard to believe that almost one year has passed us by already! Blake recently got some new foam blocks that he likes to knock over!

Pray for Baby Shaun

Please pray for Baby Shaun. He is the 6 month old son of one of my co-workers. To find out more about him, visit his Caringbridge website below:

Blake's 1st Snow Experience

Blake had his first experience with snow yesterday! He quickly realized that snow is cold and when you touch it your hands get very cold also!! The last two pictures were taken before we went outside. The first picture is showing how happy Blake is to be back inside!
