Randomness...

You never know what will happen on vacation days!

Danielle is quite the little helper as noted by her dragging the laundry basket. Now to teach her to fold, not bunch! :)

LET ME OUT! Danielle loves her beads and this captured one of the funny moments during the day when she escaped with no clothes on, beads hanging around her neck, and picked up Nate's hamstring massager. Goofy.

GO COLTS!! Dani is quite the cheerleader, but she just couldn't bring them to victory this year. Next year will be a different story!

Family Picture

Thanks, Kyle B., for taking such a FABULOUS Christmas picture of our family at CLC!!! We love it!

NOWING!!!

Also known as SNOWING...Danielle will look outside and declare with glee, "NOWING!!!" She loves the snow, the cold, sledding, eating snow, crunching through the snow...really anything with the great outdoors. We, of course, promote being outside as much as possible. Time at the lake this winter provided a great opportunity to do all that she enjoys. We did NOT take her out on the lake, though. Maybe next year. :)

Swish! Swish!

Grandma Christian always gets the girls beautiful dresses and she hit the spot for Danielle this year. As soon as Dani put on the dress, her eyes sparkled and she smiled ear to ear. The swish-swish of the dress made her day. We were covered in glitter, but Danielle was super happy which was wonderful!

Christmas Gifts

Danielle is the best gift we have ever been given! And now, she even comes wrapped at Christmas! This is Danielle "helping" me wrap gifts this year.

Some gifts had some interesting crinkles to the paper this year!

So....

It has been a long time. I have a lot of catching up to do!

Danielle has changed a lot since October :), so hopefully I can document the changes well for those of you who follow the blog.

I am Lutheran

Danielle's current favorite books include The Lutheran Worship (the hymnal) and her devotion book. She will spend a lot of time sitting in her rocker paging through these two books.
