He's got mail!

Isaac received his first new magazine, High Five, yesterday.
We just spent some time this morning putting the stickers on the holidays in the 2013 calendar.
I can't wait to read the magazine with Isaac too!
Thanks Great Grammy and Pappy!!
Love, Isaac

Thank-you Mamoo and Dadoo

Thanks for housing, feeding, taking care of, etc. Hurricane Jamie, Tornado Kendall, & Typhoon Isaac. Now you can get back to normal!! (At least until we are here in December with Landslide Ben!)

Thanks for the beautiful flowers BeeGeeWeeGee!

Family and Friends are a wonderful gift!

We just wanted to say thank-you to everyone for all of the correspondence with well wishes that has come our way, baby gifts, help around the house, meals made by our wonderful Sunday school class, and everything else! I promise once things settle back down to normal that I will get back with everyone....maybe I should hire a personal secretary :-) We really appreciate everything that ya'll have done!
Love,
Ben, Jamie, Kendall, and Isaac

Trying for a sunny day!

I discovered that it has become very easy to be VERY GRUMPY with all of the discomforts of pregnancy weighing down on you....so I am trying to be lighthearted today for mine, Kendall, and Benny's sake. (Well and for our viewing audience as well!!)

I started out the day by looking at the beautiful gifts that we got yesterday from our friends, Jennifer and Ray, and knowing how lucky we are to have family & friends that care enough to stitch such personal gifts for us.

Thanks guys!! They are beautiful!

I then started to get ready to take Kendall to laptime at the library when I realized as I was putting my charm bracelet on that I hadn't shown those of you that sent me birthday money what your generous gift has purchased! I have wanted to start a charm bracelet for about a year now and finally it is under motion! I know that it is hard to see but there is a picture of Kendall, a favorite pic of Ben & I, a cross, an RN, and a helicoptor. (Ben got me the helo it wasn't part of my purchase!) I am anxious to add a pic of Isaac to it soon :-)

We also wanted to thank the Olson family for our baby gift! I love the swim trunks and can't wait to see him in them next summer :-) There was definately a Hawaiian theme with that... did Chad have anything to do with picking them out?

Well if I am going to get us to storytime on time I had better close this out for awhile. Stay tuned for pictures of the crafts that my better half has been working on!
