3 Months!

What a difference a month can make!  William was 3 months old on 11-16-12 and so much has changed!  Will was really fussy and I got to the point where I was going to try anything.  One of my friends suggested I try the chiropractor.  I was a little leary, but was willing to try it.  And what a difference it has made!  Upon first evaluation, they discovered that he had a couple bones out of place in the very top of his neck; he couldn't even turn his head all the way to one side.  He's now has full range of motion and his head doesn't sit cock-eyed when they hang him upside down - which is a good thing!  He also has a completely different personality now.  He's smiley and can just sit in his chair or lay on the floor for a long time without fussing.  He also continues to sleep really well.  He has been sleeping through the night - asleep by 8 pm and will wake up around 6.  He still doesn't nap the best during the day -only taking short 40 minute naps, but I can't complain since he's sleeping so well at night!

Baptism

Last Sunday, November 18, we had baptism for William and Henry.  We decided to have  "double baptism" to make things a little easier - at least it was for us!  But it made a lot more work for my mom as she hosted the lunch afterwards with all three families, the Loncoriches, the Franks and the Weckmans. Thanks Mom!



I was honored to be asked to be Henry's sponsor!   Alissa, Josh, Henry, Pastor Brian and Henry's sponsors - me and Josh's brother Jeremy (holding Henry)

Julianne is thankful!

Okay... I just had to share Julianne's project from preschool today...


She's thankful for baby brother!  How sweet is that!  

I'm so proud of her for how well she can write her name now too.  At the beginning of school, just two and a half months ago, she could just barely make a "J" and now she can write her whole name!

Caught up!

As of today, I now have my blog completely caught up!  And that's a good thing because on   Monday - I HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK!!!!!  I'm quite sure I'll be too exhausted to blog for a while then! I can't believe my 12 weeks are almost over.  It's so great I was able to stay home with Will for this long, but I am ready to get back into my routine.  I'm a much better mommy when I can get out, use my critical thinking skills and socialize with adults. It definitely will be hard leaving Will at daycare all day, but I have a feeling "little mommy" Julianne will watch out for him when I'm not there!

Halloween

This year we had Princess Cinderella and a tiger at our house for Halloween.  The Saturday before Halloween, I took Julianne and at the last minute, Shay, to the party in Cosmos.  They had fun games for the kids and they got lots of candy.  I think their favorite part was getting their nails painted and tattoos!   Unfortunately, Julianne came down with pinkeye on Tuesday so had to miss her party at preschool, but by Wednesday she was better and we were able to go partying again!  One of the good things about being on maternity leave was that I could spend the whole day "trick-or-treating" with the kiddos!  We went to my mom and dad's and had lunch with them and Alissa, Josh and Henry.  Then we visited my Grandma Florence in Buffalo Lake and my Grandma Edna in Hutch.  Then we were off to the party in Brownton where Julianne played lots more games and got LOTS more candy!  It was a good day, but I was glad when it was over!  Now, what to do with all the candy - I hid it from Julianne so she wouldn't eat it all, but the bad part is now I know where it is and I find myself sneaking a treat quite often.... 

Julianne and Shay ready to go to Cosmos.  At the last minute, Shay decided to go with us and didn't have her costume... so I dug through Julianne's dress-up clothes and found a "princess" outfit for Shay too!

The boys!!  I swear - we did not buy the same outfits on purpose; it was by pure accident!!  It's just a sister thing!
