Charlie the Photographer

We got Charlie a camera for Christmas.  Here are a couple of his first photos.  As you can see he's on his way to becoming a professional...

 

Baby Update

I took the glucose test (passed!) and had another ultrasound.  Nick wanted me to ask if it's for sure a girl before he starts painting and IT'S STILL A GIRL!  Baby Claire is measuring on time for the March 18th due date.  Only about 80 more days to go!

 

 

28 weeks/3 days

 

Charlie and Dada went to the Children's Museum while I was at the appointments. Thanks for the Christmas present Grandpa and Grandma Lund!

Blaine Christmas

Opening a truck from Santa and loot from the stocking (he must've been a GOOD boy!)

 

 Vitse Christmas

Now this is what our house looks like after all that... 

Who wants to come and clean and organize?!?!

SNOW DAY!

The day I've been hoping for since the weather has been cold enough to snow FINALLY CAME!! There was no school today due to the weather. Here are a couple pictures from our day...

 

 

Shoveling and playing outside

 

 

 Decorating a gingerbread choo-choo

(notice our little elf, Jack, watching over and making sure Charlie is being a good boy for Santa)

Sesame Street Live

Sesame Street Live tickets were one of Charlie's Christmas presents.  Although he didn't like sitting for such a long time, he thought it was pretty cool to see his favorite characters in person!

 

Sweet Treat

Charlie made a "Mismis" tree out of a waffle cone, green frosting and M&M's (thank you Pinterest!).

 

It Snowed!!!!!!

Here we are on December 9th and it finally snowed enough to make a snowman!  It was fun to get out and play with real snow (instead of styrofoam) for the first time this season!

 

 

 

Baby Belly Pic #2

Here I am at 25 weeks and 4 days.  Yep...starting to feel like I'm hauling a baby around in there..can't wait to meet our little Claire Marie!

Testing out Mama's new iPad for school :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Here are some pictures from the last couple weekends.  We decorated our house (the partial nudity is because the Charlie bear was working on potty training) and went a few places to get in the spirit (Festival of Trees, Lights at Bluff Valley and Santa's arrival).
