We aren't missing! It's just been a crazy few months. We had Ellas birthday and moved and then two trips to and from Melbourne for time with Aunt Jen and Aunt Becca. A new post will appear soon! Till then.....

8 Months!!!

You are a twerp!  A funny, charasmatic, crazy twerp.  You crawl everywhere, climb everything, wrestle with your sister, give big cheesey smiles, squint funny faces at everyone and make life so bright!  You have two huge pearly whites that stick out just like your adorable little ears!  You dont sleep at all and make mommy very tired, but your happiness makes it all worth it! One day you will sleep through the night and Ill miss our late night talks.  You just had your check up and you weighed 17lbs.  You are super long at 27in. Your weight is not so high because you are so long, but your head measured huge, so we know you are super smart :) Keep growing, keep smiling!  You are such an amazing addition to our family!

 

Still Alive!

Its been a long time since I blogged.  Probably because Im chasing two little ones around the house!  Who has time to sit and type needless information!  Ha.  Plus, thats the benefit of Facebook and Instagram.  Quick snapshots of our life and you pretty much know whats going on! 

I cant believe its already half way thru Januray 2014!  This year is going to bring more change for us.  We are going to be moving out of this tiny condo, hopefully into a bigger home or townhome we can rent out.  Prayers welcome as we start looking!  Ella will turn three.  Peyton will turn one!!!!  Time flies! 

Until the next big event, and time to spare, here are a few pictures of our little world!  Christmas came and went and we had a blast.  Unfortunately we didnt see much of the DeGeyter side, but we enjoyed ourselves and Ella had a ball! 

We did Ella's stockings on Christmas Eve morning, then stayed the night at Rick and Lori's and woke up Christmas morning there!  Christmas Eve party was a blast at Kelly and Jeff's!  Ella just loves hanging out with Jenna and Zach!  Lori made a fabulous Christmas dinner and we spent the day playing with all our new toys!

 

Grammy and Grampa spent most of their time in Atlanta with baby Laine, but we got in a day with them.  Unforunately they have the pictures on their camera, so that will be later!  They got us tickets to Sea World and we had a blast taking Ella for her first time!  Pics to come!

 

Overall it was a fabulous holiday season and we are recovering still!  Ella still sings the songs and watches Polar Express! 

Little Man

Peyton turned 5 months old and was dedicated at church all in the same week.  Unfortunately, he has been very sick with ear infections, broncitis and thrush.  Needless to say, he had few moments of happy and more of sickly.  But we managed to push thru and get a few good pictures.  We had to skip the celebration party they had at church, which by the way, was beautiful and amazing.  And we ended up in the hallway with the kids during service on Sunday because they were too uncomfortable to be there.  But we made it across the stage without any tears and God knows where our hearts were! 

 

Thank you to our family and friends who love Him and want the same things for him as we do.  First and foremost that he knows and loves our Lord and committs his life to Him!!!

 

We love you Little Man!

Lions and Tinkers

 

Halloween came and went,  Thankfully.  This year was quiet and stressful.  Ryan had to work, so I had to dress and drive two little ones to trunk or treat and run after a little Tinker because she didnt understand waiting her turn.  I must say I did have some pretty cute little characters this Halloween.  Ella had talked about being Jessie from Toy Story for weeks, but when we went to buy it, she changed her mind.  She was a beautiful little Tink!  Peyton had a little lion hat that I added a turned around onsie and old pair of pants to!  Then I pinned on a giraffe tail that I cut off a stuffed animal!  (yah, cheap, I know)

 

I must more enjoy the fall festivals and pumpkin patches over the over stimulation of a toddler high on sugar (not by my doing).  Heres to next year when I will again sort thru their candy and hide it for only me to eat!  ha ha ha

Fall Festival Time!

This past weekend we headed down to Hundsader Farms for their annual Pumpkin Festival!  What a fabulous day!  The weather was amazing, and our Kalil friends came along.  The girls had such a blast and Peyton did so well.  It was a funfilled day filled with so many smiles!

 

Another Month Has Passed!

Well, another month has come an gone and we are surprised at how fast its going! Peyton is 4 months old!  The most surprising part so far....he got his first tooth already.  And in a strange place too.  Today has been tough on him, with a fever and achiness.  Ella never had these symptoms so this is new to mama!

 

The next surprise is how much sister has started to love on Peyton.  It took her a while, but she is warming up and loves to hold him and love him!  Its sweet to watch her.  I hope their bond is strong when they grow up!

 

 

Peyton is happy, happy, happy!  There really isnt much that upsets him, except a tummy issue that he is supposed to grow out of.  He sleeps on his belly, though not thru the night! His stomach issues still wake him and until they pass we just have to deal.  He is reaching for toys, loves our pillowcases on our couch, spends a ton of time in his excersaucer, and his favorite time is bath time!  (whose isnt)   Dont put him in his car seat unless you bring a xanax along.  He hates it, and Ella hates that he hates it.  Its quite interesting when I travel with both.  Even if its across the street to Publix!

 

All in all, he is a fabulous addition to our family and we love his sweet personality and perfect little smile!  Not to mention his studly moves that will be sure to win girls over in the future!
