A Much Needed Update

It's been awhile, so I will recap the last couple of months.

With a few nice days before the snow flew, we spent some time out at the farm. Uncle Jon taught the boys how to properly shoot a gun. As you can see, they are all paying very close attention.

The Manning girls had their sister's weekend at Dianne's house. We had a good time of shopping, bowling, playing games and just having fun.

All bets are off when Elvis starts playing. Things do tend to get a little out of hand!

Tori is our good helper. She is always wanting to feed Cam or help with changing his diaper.

We spent Thanksgiving out at the farm. We had our annual hay ride, and if you can believe it, this year was much warmer than others.

This is Tori's new best friend. This cat is perfect for her. The kitty lets Tori drag her around without any complaints. Tori is in heaven with kitty.

Camden is getting so big. He looks like such a little man. He is crawling all over the place, and getting into everything...just like a little boy should!

We love to have the Christmas tree up, but it really is a chore to do so. Tori was at least in a festive mood, and is ready to put the star on the top.

Tori and I went to see Disney's Princesses on Ice with the neighbors. Here she is proudly displaying her Minnie Mouse ears from the night before.

And Nolan has started a new season of hockey. He is #15 on the black mite team of the Mound Westonka Hockey Association. He has practice on Saturday's and Sunday's, and has his first "game" coming up over the Christmas weekend. All are welcome to come and watch!

And so that takes us to Christmas break. We only have a few days of shopping left, and a few days of work to get through, and then Santa arrives. I am ready for a break and a few relaxing days.

Wishing you all the best and warmest holidays!

Quick update

Well, we made it home safe and sound from Phoenix. The wedding went off without a hitch, and everything was perfect (but don't consult the bride on that one...she's a perfectionist!). There will be more in my next post with pictures and such, but because we got home kind of late last night, there was no time to blog. The weather was sunny and 100 degrees everyday! We couldn't have asked for better weather.

The kids had a good time at the farm. Tori is a true farm girl, and went out to help Grandpa with the cows before we left. Nolan got to play with Corbett a couple of days as he stayed at the farm Friday and Saturday. From what I can tell they had a blast too.

We are excited for Wednesday, and very much looking forward to our ultrasound. Of course, first and foremost we want a healthy baby...but can't wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl! Thanks to those that have voted on our poll. Hopefully this baby will cooperate and let us know one way or another.

Other quick updates...Tori's ears look fabulous (no infection). Dr thought that it was more sinus related, so she did send us home with some meds anyway. She seemed much better and the runny nose was cleared up when we picked up yesterday at the farm.
Nolan is signed up for swimming lessons and begins in a couple of weeks. I know what he's thinking..."swimming lessons great, but better yet I get to go to Safari Island twice a week"!
