Winter Is Here!

Well, we had a few nice fall days this past week, complete with a beautiful double rainbow. I guess we blinked too fast because winter is here now! We got several inches of snow today and will get more tonight, but it's supposed to warm up again into the 50's again next week. Maybe we'll get a few more fall days before it hits the perma-frost, but who knows.

Our fall double rainbow (second one on left is not very visible in this photo)...


Here is Beckett Lee at five weeks old (notice the onesie). This soft musical frog he has next to him is the first toy he's been interested in. Just this week he's started smiling a little and making some cooing noises. I just can't believe he's not a newborn any more!


Natalie and Beckett goofing off on the couch...


And big sister still loves to hold her little brother.

So far Beckett's eyes are still blue, but not a really light shade, so I'm still not convinced they'll stay blue. Kyle left Monday for North Dakota again, and he's supposed to be back this Monday, but I'll believe it when I see it! My mom was planning on starting her drive back tomorrow, but will wait another day or two until the weather warms up a bit (fair weather driver!). Not much else is new here with us, just taking it easy this week. Next week we're going to head to the pumpkin patch with Mandy and get ready for Natalie's third birthday party next weekend! Yes, our little baby is growing up so fast. She still loves school and all of her play dates and is quite the independant young lady now. She is as beautiful as can be, but equally demanding sometimes! We had a rough few days when Kyle left because she's gotten so used to seeing him every day over the last 6 weeks. She really is a daddy's girl and misses him a lot when he's gone.

On an exciting note...welcome to the world Leyah!!! Our dear friends Mariah and Yshai in Portland had a beautiful baby girl early this morning after a long labor. Congrats to you and new Grandma Anne and all of Little Leyah's aunties and uncle. This child will be loved beyond belief! We can't wait to meet her in November.

Hope you all are staying warm and dry and not getting too upset about the stock market...Kyle had to calm me down a few times today. Thanks, honey...you are the love of my life and I miss you terribly! XOXOXO

I can't believe how fast he is growing. We've got the pretty snow too! Kids are out in it right now. I hope that your momma gets some nicer roads to head home...or maybe she'll stay through the birthday party now.

He really is still a new born Jess! I loved the snow yesterday, and already hate it today, how about you ! We went to the pancake breakfast at the fire hall this morning in it, brrrrr! I hear you about the stock market, John said that it was a good thing yeasterday he was working out of the office, because his office window isn't high enough to jump out of! He figured if he did he'd just twist an ankle or something, not really worth the effort! Amanda
