Our Florida Winter Vacation!

It was so much fun visiting with Grandma G.G. and Grandpa Harry in Florida...Even though the temperature was in the 40's during half of our visit. No matter what the temp...
we were just happy to be there. =)

Our Good News!

Today, January 14th, our new baby is about 22 weeks grown! In the ultrasound picture above, you can see 2 ovals. the oval on the upper right is the Head, and the oval on the lower left is the body. You can see a tiny arm above the head. You can see the smaller dark spot in the body is the sweet little heart!
Wait...it gets better!

Here's lookin' at you, kid! This is the face shot. If you tilt your head to the right, you'll be eye to eye. You can also see, at the top left, the little rib cage.
And last but not least...


IT'S A BOY!!!
And boy, are we excited! This is actually a record breaker on my side of the family. Out of 16 grandchildren, there are only 3 grandsons (soon to be 4). I will be the first of the Reeves girls to give birth to 2 boys. =) I think I'm supposed to give credit to Adam on that one...And God, of course. He gets credit for all miracles. =)

Carving, Costumes and Candy!

As you can see, we decided to dig in and carve a silly pumpkin face this Fall. Savannah and Kaleb really enjoyed getting their hands in the gooey pulp and seeds. Savannah detailed the inside of the pumpkin...with not a string or seed left behind. She's very much a perfectionist =). The final result was a success! Our Jack-o-lantern was finally ready to greet the trick-or-treaters!
Savannah and Kaleb chose their own costumes for Halloween this year. Savannah knew all year long that she wanted to be a mermaid--Ariel the Little Mermaid, to be precise. She didn't like any of the costumes in the stores...because they didn't really look like mermaids anyway...so I ended up, for the very first time sewing something of my own pattern and creation! It may have not been to perfection, but she loved it nonetheless =) It was freezing on Oct. 31st this year so I ended up having to pin the seashells to her sweater. All was well. Kaleb, chose the "g-waff" costume complete with chubby, squishy cheeks! Irrisistable!!! He was proud because it made him "sooooo tall"! Needless to say, the kids had a wonderful time dressing up and getting one sugar high after another...=)

Great Friends & Good Times

After spending some time this past summer at the cabin we took a trip down to Big Lake, MN to see our good friends the Hansens. Savannah and Kaleb had a blast playing with their friends Brayden and Mazie. They played on the new "John Deer", got nitty-gritty in the sandbox, and had plenty of fun watching movies and just goofing around. There wasn't a dull moment with these 4! Our 3 days visit went by quickly and it was hard to say goodby, but we knew we'd be seeing eachother again soon.
