December 22 - Hello, Cody!

On Tuesday night we went over to meet little Cody.

He is such a beautiful baby, he takes your breath away!

Mom had been in Lynden a day already.

She might not be staying at our house, but

I'll take my mom anyway I can get her!

December 21

Proud daddy Dwight came over Monday afternoon to show the girls pictures

of their new brother. Courtney cared. Nikki was too

busy playing with Thomas to pay much attention!

December - Sunday School Christmas Program

I sort of broke some rules and videotaped from

the front row while I was directing - Dwight and Leshia needed some

pics, after all! It went fairly well, altho I was so busy taking Cameron's

speech photo, I was sort of lost when she needed help...oops!

I was so proud of her! Courtney was stoic throughout...

My little man. In his school shoes. Oops.

Check out super-shy Cameron!

It was a lovely night.

December 20 - A Very Big Day Out Here!

Sunday morning was very exciting - three little

girls in our house, and a baby boy on the way!

Here's Thomas and Nikki playing in the nursery.

Shortly after this, both kids got bonked in the head

with an upper rail and cried themselves silly. It was fun!

December - Family Photo

Here's the winner, it probably looks familiar...

The whole white Christmas idea was a bomb...

Thomas was positive "Cheese" meant squeeze your eyes shut tight...
We had to pause and have a little chat...

Husband and sons...joy of my life.

Here's our Disney photo...

I just love John's smile!

Mid-December - Ping Pong!

Calvin gave himself a ping-pong table for Christmas,

and had Dwight over to put it together...

What would we do without Dwight :)!

Thomas thought he could help with his play drill.

John is getting impatient. Calvin was driven to drink...

Proud ping-pong daddy!

A historic photo - the very first ping pong game in our home...

Okay, our garage...Now all we need is Vic, wild hilarious

giggling, and grown men whapping balls at bare backs,

and we're back ten years. Come visit, Vic!

The boys finally got their chance!

December - I Love My Boys!

I love this pic of John - he can be so dreamy...

Calvin has a lot of meetings. Here is Thomas, really mad,
trying to block him from leaving for a school board meeting.

These stockings are well loved now...
