Once again...

Once again there is a lot to catch-up on and I'm not sure where to start!  Time is flying by and just seems to be getting away from me.  I will do my best to go through the last several months and try to get you caught up on what has been happening with us...

NOVEMBER:

 We ate pumpkin cheese cake ice cream.

Nolan really enjoys doing art projects and especially making different animals, so for November we had fun making a turkey.  This year we used paintings, drawings, and other little art projects done by Nolan (and a few foot prints from Lucas) to make a home made calendar.  The turkey was used for November.

I continue to love seeing these two together.  Lucas adores Nolan and while Nolan is still learning "gentle", overall he is very sweet and loving with his little brother.

Lucas tried oatmeal cereal for the first time...5 months!  He did pretty well with it and has enjoyed exploring more foods.

We enjoyed a visit from Grandpa Jerry...and had to take some pictures of everyone in their Bears gear.

Lucas discovered his feet and went through a period of sucking on his toes.

Lucas had his first Thanksgiving.  We enjoyed having Kevin's mom, dad, and sister Libby with us here in Indy.  We then went up to Goshen for the weekend and enjoyed time with family there as well.  Lucas also started sitting on his own.  

Lucas tried green beans...wasn't quite sure about them.

We started a new family tradition of making Christmas ornaments on Thanksgiving.  This year we tried a really simple dough of cornstarch, baking soda, and water.  Nolan had a lot of fun picking out the shapes and painting the ornaments after baking.  We picked a few to keep and hang on the tree.  

 We watched a lot of Bears football...well football in general.  Kevin is proud daddy as Nolan roots for the Bears and "boos" the Packers, Vikings, and Lions.
