Christmas Vacation

It seems like we were just packing for our trip to PA and we're home before you know it! Check out Karis playing "boxing" on her cousin's Wii. She was amazing... knocked them out in a flash.
I spent most of the first two days in PA on my mom's sofa... tired and nauseated. It gave me the rest I needed to enjoy Christmas. This is my mom, me, Nance, Mary Ann and Shirley at Nance's house on Christmas Day.

This is Ben's cousin, Josh, his wife, Kate and their little one Lucia. This was our first chance to see her... what a cutie! Thanks guys for taking the time to see us.

This is the traditional Christmas Eve photo with cousins Caleb, Jonathan, and Erich. Grandma and Grandpa's fireplace always serves as a perfect background.

We were able to catch lunch with Adam and Carrie Hegedus Christmas Eve day. It was great to see them after two years.

Sorry we were unable to see everyone this trip. The family time with our sisters, niece, nephews, parents and extended family was much overdue. We wish everyone a wonderful New Year. More pictures to come...

Tis the Season...

This is our first Wisconsin Christmas tree! We arrive too late to put one up last year. It was quite an adventure to get since the snow was coming down rather quickly this weekend. We got another 8 inches last night into today. The cool part about snow is that it provides an opportunity to help out your neighbors. So many of them do not have snow blowers!

Pregnancy update... We heard the heartbeat last week... yes, only one! Nausea is still an issue. The Midwife pretty much told me to "suck it up" and refused to give the very much recommended Zofran. We're hoping this goes away before the long drive to Pennsylvania. I started wearing maternity clothing this week. I think it emphasizes the positive... a growing belly!
