I need my Nuk

Noelle needed a Nuk this morning and we caught her standing at the ottoman digging in her diaper bag looking for the Nuk. The one she found was still hooked to the bag!

Our first bath

Kade and Noelle took their first bath together the other night as a time saver. Kade was not thrilled about sharing the tub with anyone, but Noelle had a blast!

All Played Out

Kade was being awfully quiet in his room on morning and when I went to check on him this is what I found. All played out, and he stayed like this for about an hour and a half.

Rock Band Mania

For Christmas Nate got Rock Band for the Wii. It is a hit in our house with everyone, even Kade!

Christmas Morning

Here we are Christmas Morning. It was a very busy day. We started out at our house, then went to Nate's mom and dad's house to see his family, then we went all the was up to my brother's house. That ended up being the worst drive in the snow and freezing rain that we were trying to avoid!

Me and My Coke!

This is what happens when I go into physical therapy for an hour, Kade gets to drink a mega-Coke! First ever Coke, talk about breaking him in!

Visiting Santa

We went to see Santa in Franklin Grove again this year. As you can see Kade was a little unsure and didn't want to smile. Noelle was very upset and cried the whole time.

Bad Hair Day

Having a little girl is a lot different than a little boy as far as hair goes! Kade had tons of hair, but we always got it cut so he never had crazy bed head like his sister does.

Hanging' with Uncle Chris and Aunt Kristin

Nate and I went on our annual Christmas shopping extravaganza to the Mall of America in late Oct. This year Noelle got to tag along and meet the newest member of the Stenzel family, miss Olivia Jean. She was a peanut when she was born. Check out the size difference between her and Noelle!

Halloween Costumes

Here we are at Halloween, Kade was an elephant and Noelle was a butterfly and my mom and I made their costumes! Yes I helped this year. I pretty much did all of Kade's elephant, and helped a little on the butterfly due to time constraints.
