Ella Writes Her Name

2009-09-23T07:46:00.002-04:00

Ella is doing a great job with her letters. She can even write her
name using "little" letters.

Ella, you're pretty sharp! I wonder what you'll be able to do when
you turn four.

4th of July in Iowa

2009-08-19T15:05:00.005-04:00

We had so much fun in Iowa for the 4th of July! We went to the parade and saw cousin Gene with his horses.

We ran in the foot races and won some money and lollipops.

We rode the train and won some pop at the pop toss.

We got to see uncles, aunts, and cousins, roast "smarshmellows", and Josh even managed to put his bottom teeth through his lip after a fall on the gravel road.

Our kids started calling the Williams celebration--"Grammy and Grandpa's Disneyworld", isn't that hiliarious?!

A date!

2009-08-19T15:00:00.003-04:00

Shane & I went on a date to the Colt's first pre-season game. It was SO MUCH FUN! Our seats were surrounded by some of the team's family members, we had a great time!

Can you say accessories?

2009-08-19T14:44:00.002-04:00

Don't you love Ella's sense of fashion! A pumpkin hat, magic wand, holster belt, and high heels! I love it!

Disney World

2009-06-02T12:43:00.004-04:00

Welcome back! It's been awhile since we've written. We've been busy, so there is a lot to catch up on. To start, I'm putting up pictures of our Disney trip from last Labor Day weekend. Yes folks, that was all the way back in September 2008. It was a chore to pick out all the good pics, and procrastination set in.

The triplets had a ton of fun at Disney World, and of course it was a great vacation. Hannah stayed behind, but maybe she'll get another chance some day.

Hannah Hannah!

2009-02-17T21:54:00.002-05:00

Hannah has been doing great since she got out of the hospital on Friday. We are very thankful.

She took her first steps a few weeks ago and now she takes 3 to 6 steps at a time. Oh, she is one busy and determined little girl. We love her so much.

Hannah is Home

2009-02-13T21:42:00.001-05:00

Hannah did great last night, no extra oxygen. So they discharged her and she came home this morning. She is feeling much better. Thanks for praying!

Hospitalized, cont.

2009-02-12T17:29:00.003-05:00

Hannah is breathing better. Now we're just waiting for her to wean off the extra oxygen and IV fluids. It still may take a couple more days, though. RSV is tough on little ones. The triplets got it first then passed it on to her, we think. They're all getting over it ok, by the way.

Hospitalized

2009-02-11T21:09:00.002-05:00

Our baby girl Hannah was hospitalized with RSV last night and is still currently in the hospital. We are thankful for the care that she is receiving and thankful she seems to be responding well to the fluids and oxygen that she has been given. We are asking for prayer for a speedy and full recovery for our sweet girl.

Abby's Glasses

2009-01-26T19:48:00.002-05:00

Abby got new glasses this weekend. She is doing a fantastic job with them!! She has 2 pairs of glasses. Here is a picture of her in her red frames.
She also has a pair with metal frames....adorable!
2 cute sisters!
I also wanted to add that Hannah can say mama too! I love the sound of that little voice saying mamamama. It melts my heart.

Ella

2009-01-22T16:35:00.001-05:00

Here's the unexpected. Smartypants can write her own name!

Uh Oh!

2009-01-22T16:31:00.010-05:00

Hannah is hilarious. Her new thing to say is "Uh oh." She had been doing "Da Da" before that among other random sounds.

She's gets into everything and tries hard to keep up with her sisters and brother. She usually does, too, as she grabs their books and puzzles and whatever else is within reach.

We've got the barricades up so she doesn't get into trouble in the kitchen. Sometimes they don't work. She crawls all over.

She's not too far from standing and walking on her own. Go Hannah!

Yum!

The Living Nativity

2008-12-19T22:07:00.006-05:00

We participated in the Living Nativity as a family this year. There are lots of scenes that tell the Christmas story from the Bible. We were in the Bethlehem scene as Christ was about to be born. (The inn Nazi says, No room for you!)

Our costumes:

Let's get some water from the well

I like Joseph & Mary's donkey.

Halloween 2008

2008-11-20T13:25:00.001-05:00

Getting ready for Halloween... and then visiting Aunt Elizabeth & Uncle Kevin in St. Louis for trick or treating and a fun weekend.

We decided against dressing them up as Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, and Hillary Clinton. It would have been hilarious, but we wanted the kids to have something they were excited about for themselves. James the Train and Disney princesses it is.

The Pumpkin Patch

2008-11-20T10:12:00.001-05:00

We had fun at a local pumpkin patch in October. Hannah is cute as a button. It was good for everyone to get out of the house for a while.

Beautiful Rockies

It's time to catch up on some blogging!

Back at the beginning of August, Christine & Hannah & I flew out to Denver to visit Mark & Jen (brother & sister-in-law). We had a wonderful time hanging out and driving around. We visited Mark's office at the bank--it's a very impressive place to work. We spent a day poking around in Vail, and got some good walking done out in the fresh air. Check out the views:

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

2008-07-30T14:00:00.003-04:00

You guessed it.....our little Hannah has been rolling from her tummy to her back for a few weeks now. She proudly displayed her new skill to her Aunt Jen on July 5th.... wow, even before she was 3 months old! Good job girl!

Hannah is Growing!

2008-07-17T14:11:00.001-04:00

We're taking pictures of Hannah every month on the chair so we can see how she grows.

At 1 month, she's just a little newborn.

At 2 months, she can smile and coo.

At 3 months, she can giggle and hold a rattle and sleep through the night, yay!

Our 4th of July in Iowa

2008-07-17T14:01:00.003-04:00

Grandpa's hat stayed on most of the week!

The parade in Williams...

Then to the bouncy house...

And the famous train!

Everyone after church on Sunday.

St. Louis

2008-06-26T16:21:00.002-04:00

We visited Aunt Elizabeth & Uncle Kevin in St. Louis last weekend. We had a great time at the zoo!
