Updates

I thought I would do a quick run down of everyone and what we have been up to.

Sheldon-
His work has been slowing down which I love. He is not as busy and is able to spend a lot more time at home. I love it and he loves it for about 2 days. After that, he starts getting antsy and is ready to head out to work. I am wondering how it will go when he is off work for 3+ weeks when Eli arrives!

Max-
He is still trucking along with his reading. He can read 20 sight words consistently and can sound out 3 letter words. He got his 1st gun the other day (pictures to come) and has been out to the shooting range with Sheldon.

He recently got a carpet burn on his head. He decided not to nap, got down on his hands and knees, and rubbed his head on the carpet to make his head hot. Never a dull moment with him and his brother!



Crocker-
He is into everything and spends a lot of his day in the corner. He loves to play with blocks and puzzles. He is not into school work and will not sit still long enough for me to try and teach him anything.



Jenny-
I am over being pregnant. The end of January cannot come soon enough. I am miserable. I am sure Sheldon will tell you that he is ready for me to have this baby too so I will stop complaining to him!
We are getting the nursery ready and starting to stock up on baby items. I go back to the doctor on the 15th and we will schedule my delivery date!

Ho Ho Ho!

The boys mailed their letters to Santa while we were in TN. Before we left to come back home, Santa stopped by to see the boys. We were so surprised and the boys were so excited.

Santa brought their letter with him and Max was really shocked when Santa read his letter to him.

The boys made sure to tell Santa they have been good and are awaiting his arrival on Christmas Eve!

Letters to Santa

A few weeks ago, the boys wrote and mailed their letters to Santa. Max was really into it and did such a good job writing out what he wanted. Santa brings the boys 3 gifts each, so they each asked for 3 things.

Max asked for a light bug, movie, and a ball.

Crocker was just happy to be there!

When we got finished, we took the letters to the mailbox for the mailman to pick up.

While we were in TN, Max's Nanny took him on a special date to the movies. He was so excited and they had a great time.

We were in town to go to church and Crocker ran right up to his buddy, Mr. Guy.

Max was able to have a special drink in TN. He loves frappuccino's and there is no where to get one where we live.

Crocker has turned into quite the little ham and will smile and pose for the camera.

Thanksgiving

We were able to spend Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Grandma Hoesli's house in Kansas. Sheldon had to meet us up there, so the boys and I left really early Thursday morning to drive up.

We had such a good time. The boys had many playmates and I did not even see much of them unless they needed something to eat or drink.
Sheldon and I were so busy eating and talking that I did not even get my camera out.
We spent the night and headed home on Friday. I took a few pictures before we left.

Crocker was asleep before we even got a mile down the road. That's a sign of a good trip!

Grampy's Birthday

We were able to celebrate my dad's birthday right before we left to come back home.
Max picked out the theme and helped pick out all the decorations.

He surprised my dad and came out wearing the theme of his party.

Everyone was quick to put a mask on and get the party started.

We ate lunch, opened gifts, and had ice cream cake.

I think someone enjoyed his a little too much.
Crocker is in his pj's with his hospital bracelet on because of a midnight run to the er. He couldn't get a good breath and we found out he had pneumonia.

We had fun celebrating and can't wait until next year.
