What a blessing she has been to our family already. So far she has been a very good baby. She is sleeping good, eating good, pooping good, hanging in her carseat good. Markus and Elaina adore her and will sit for several minutes admiring all of her little features. Markus has had a perma grin since the moment he saw her and Elaina just keeps reminding us all that Addyson is HER baby sister. We feel very blessed to have her here healthy and happy!!!

More on the whole experience later.....

Pat mentioned the other day that he was surprised that I let the deck go unfinished for so long (3months) and that he kinda missed my nagging! Oh what a wonderful day, my husband wanted me to nag him so........2 days later (Had to wait until Saturday) he made his first trip the the hardware store (for a big purchase)!!!!! Luckily the deck was halfway done we basically only had to replace some boards, extend some boards out where the previous owners took the hot tub, and then screw down the rest of the deck, add some steps, and benches!

Easy enough right? Well we'll see how easy it is.

Let's see how many Saturdays we'll be enslaved to the deck project.

Thank you babe for working on the deck!

So I've some requests for some pictures! I've never wanted to take pictures of myself when I've been pregnant but everytime I've regretted not doing it. With Markus I felt huge. But did I look huge? To some people I did to others I didn't. With Lanie I felt so good. But did I look good? To some they couldn't believe how big I was and I was only 6 months along and I felt so good. (I won't mention names) So with this baby I just thought I would take some pictures and determine for myself how I look because that's all that matters, right! Plus the adding bonus is because my family won't get to see me until after I'm at my best after I have the baby (yeah right) I thought it would be nice for them to see me progress through pregnancy!!!!! So here are some pictures! The first picture is what I look like today. The second picture is Markus' view of what I look like! Thanks, bud.

It's so nice to have Corrine back close again. She has motivated me to be crafty again. It has been so long (since we moved from denver) that I have done anything creative and crafty. How sad that is.... because over the last past week I realized how much a miss and love it.

It also helps to have all the baby girl excitement in the air! Thanks Corrine!

On January 17th Lanie turned 3. I can't believe she's that old. She's getting so big and we love having her part of our family. For her birthday Grandpa and Grandma Deming, Uncle Wade and Aunt Marie, and Kelly and the kids came. We all went to the rec center where they had swimming and a movie. (They have this huge projection screen by the pool and watch a movie while you swim!) It was fun except Lanie refused to get in the water. She normally loves to swim. So Lanie and I hung out next to pool and watched the movie.

Lanie wanted a ladybug cake and all I can say is that I tried. I wish I had just half of the talent my mom has for decorating cakes.
