Last weekend while we were in Spokane, we made a
side trip up to Colville for our newest Nephew, Isaac's
blessing. He was born Dec. 2nd. This is a picture of
he and his older sister Sophie. What cuties!



Tabetha, Travis (Justin's younger brother),
Isaac and Sophie.

Thursday we got to visit with Corey (Justin's next older
brother), Sarah, Ezra and their newest Audrey.
Katelyn learned all about breastfeeding and after
the all left today, she decided that she too wanted
to feed her baby.


I was very excited to have them visit for a
couple of days. We stayed with them for 2 weeks
awaiting the arrival of Audrey back in October and I
got very, very sick with Bronchitis. I was there for
about a week before Audrey decided to make her
grand appearance and I was hoping to be over my
sickness for when she was born, but I was still fighting
it pretty hard. I was sad that I couldn't hold and
kiss her like I wanted to at the time. Needless to say,
I got in lots of snuggles and smooches all over
those adorable, squishy cheeks of hers.
Sarah and I had fun trying our hand at making
bows and headbands for Audrey and Katelyn.
Ezra and Katelyn wanted to help with the dishes.

Sharing a moment.
Kate and Ezra have been best buds
since they were born. Kate is about 4 1/2 months
older than Ezra and they also lived in Newport with us
so we got to see lots and lots of them over the past two years.
We were happy to see that they picked up playing like they
had never been apart. There was unfortunately one
biting incident today. I guess Kate had had enough and
she took a bite out of poor Ezra's cheek. Not the first time.
Luckily, Ezra is so sweet that he quickly forgave his cousin.

Beautiful Miss Audrey




Oh yeah!

I printed out this picture and had Justin open it Christmas Day.
I have pretty good feelings that this one will go well.
Due: September 3rd

DeAnne,
Congratulations!! I am so happy and excited for you. Your little Katelyn is so adorable, I just know she's going to make a fabulous big sister!!
I had no idea that you are so talented with sewing. I'll have to remember that as I am learning, in case I have an "emergency" sewing question. : )
I wish you and your family peace, health, and happiness for the New Year!

P.S. I wrote a short book under your folate and iron post... I am a bit of a nutrition nut. : }

Congratulations! I hope you get to keep this one too.
Katelyn is so cute. Brinley has never really been into dolls, so I haven't had the pleasure of seeing her breastfeed anything, yet.
What did you use for the headband? I made one for Sarah out of ribbon and elastic, but I hear that nylons are great to use. Walmart had NOTHING when I went. I guess everyone else thought the same thing I did.

Kate is super cute, especially with Ezra. Abigail and my nephew Vaughn (Emily's son) are arch rivals at this point. They are exactly the same age apart as K & E. I am hoping it will end soon. Yahoo, for your good news. We too just recently had one of those not so good experiences like you had a few months ago and are hoping for some better news in these next few months! Great job on your sewing projects also, those looked so fun!

what size nylons and tights? do they need to be a large size to fit around the head?

Unknown said...

Yeah! Congrats. We are so excited for you!

Congradulations!! I pray that your pregnancy will go well!!!

Your pictures are so stinkin' cute- My favorite is Katelyn's breastfeeding her doll!! You'll have to hide a copy of that so when she's a teenager (if she's like my sisters- she'll destroy it!) you can bring it out and show her pre-missionary boyfriend- he he he! Love IT!!
