Christmas Pictures and a Snow Day

I'm updating today just because I know I've fallen a bit behind on my blog since Nicholas has arrived.

Everything is going well with the kids. Nolan is still spitting out all the states and capitals, and he has recently learned nearly every state bird and flower thanks to the book that Aunt Pam sent.....he absolutely loves it!

Natalie is so excited for Christmas, or at least looking forward to the toys she will get. Anytime a commercial comes on the tv that shows a girl playing with a toy, she shouts, "I want that for Christmas!" And, of course you have to acknowledge her everytime...."Okay, Natalie. You want that for Christmas." That's why I love the channel Noggin....they don't have any commercials! It's even gotten so bad that she says she wants raisens for Christmas because of the Sunmaid Raisen girl!

Nathan is as rotten as ever. He's becoming quite the talker as well. He repeats EVERYTHING he hears. I'm sure that if he sat with Nolan for a bit, he would probably run around here saying the names of states too! I was so impressed with him the other morning. After he burped, he said "Excuse me."....and it's not even something I've been working with him to say.....he's just picked it up from his siblings!!!

Finally, little Nicholas is great as well. He's such a good baby...which I must say all of my babies have been good as babies too. He's waking up only twice during the night for feedings, but it's not so bad. Though, I must admit that one full night of sleep for myself would be fantastic!!! I haven't had a full night's sleep in months.....and I'm still sleeping on the couch so I don't disturb anyone during the night. I've slept on the couch since June, so I'm really looking forward to Nicholas sleeping all night so that I can get myself back in a bed!

I don't have many pics this time, but here are the one's I do have (and no pics of Nicholas.....this is what happens when you're number 4!)


I was trying to get a super-cute Christmas picture of Nathan to send to a radio contest....but he's not been very cooperative thus far. The deadline is Saturday!














Natalie was participating for a Christmas shot too, but she's over the age limit. Isn't she cute....ketchup face and tangled hair...she's still a beautiful girl!









Natalie and Matt having fun in the snow.








Nolan loves the snow....look how huge his gloves are....we couldn't find his, so these are adult-sized.

Wow, Jenni I know what you mean about the couch..I have slept on it since summer as well. I tried to sleep in the bed last night but Abi would not sleep and I felt bad that Jason had to work so it was back out the the couch.
The kids are getting so big. I love the pic of Nathan!

Lucky you guys with all the snow! I wish we had some to play out in. And I must say I am very impressed that Nolan knows all his states and capitals!! I don't even remember them all. When in the world do you find time to teach him those????
