Theo

Time for Theo to play catch up on blog time....
Here are some of our favorite pictures.

Daddy time

Hadley and Andy built a house the other night! A gingerbread house...complete with a tree in the front yard and a gingerbread man on the roof. It was a pretty funny night as Hadley couldn't keep her hands and her mouth off the candies. :) The picture shows her hands completely blue from candy. Andy kept asking her to stop eating the candy...and as he used the frosting to make the house he licked the frosting from his finger. Hadley's response to that was, "Dad, don't eat the frosting!"

Singing debut

Yesterday, Hadley and all the other children at CBS (Community Bible Study) sang for the moms! Shortly after we moved to Duluth this fall, we were able to join CBS. Hadley is in a class for 2yearolds and Theo and I joined the "Babes in Arms" group. It's the first Bible study group that I've found welcomes moms with very young babies to join. Hadley's class is complete with a lesson, singing, crafts and snacks! Hadley sings all the time at home, in the grocery store and etc. She asked if she'd get a microphone to sing with...but, while she was up there, she didn't sing a note.:)

Just want a candy cane!

Last week we went to UWS (University WI- Superior) for Winterfest. It is a great event for the community and students. Students from the education department had crafts and cookies and ornaments for kids to decorate. Choirs from area schools performed. There were rides on a horse drawn carriage with s'mores over a bonfire to warm up after the ride. And, of course, there was Santa! We were hopeful that Hadley would be brave enough to sit on Santa's lap herself this year....but as you can see from the picture, Theo was the only brave one! :)
PS Many of you probably know we try to limit Hadley's sugar intake...well, there were elves a plenty at this event and they all gave Hadley candy canes. By the end of the night she was in rare form- screaming and hysterical about wanting another candy cane. That was fun for Mom and Dad.:) A couple days later, I said to Hadley, "What do you want for Christmas?" Her response was simple and very funny. She simply said, "candy cane."

Four Months Old

Theo is four months old!!!
Unfortunately, that means he had another Doctor appointment with immunizations. Here's a shot of Hadley showing him what was going to happen at that visit.

SNOW day

last Saturday it snowed and snowed and snowed and snowed...
We currently live in an apartment in downtown Duluth. We have no shoveling or plowing responsibilities- so snow means fun! Andy and Hadley found a spot in the city (right below the Radisson) to jump in, climb on and make angels in the snow.

That smile!

After a day of crying and fussin' it's so good to see that smile! We're not sure if Theo is getting a tooth or a cold...but we're happy to see the smile again.
