Hey everyone! It has been a way too long of a time since I last posted. Sorry about that. Well I'll try to remember everything we have done in the last few months! I think I should start with Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving us 5 older kids made the food. It worked out pretty well. Then as usual, our parents went the next day to get some sales in the very early morning. After that we went to Pizza Hut for lunch, then got our tree. We started to decorate it and worked on it some Saturday. The first Sunday in of Advent (Nov. 30) we had the Babiaks over for lunch and the day.

December 2, our parents went to see the Waukesha Orchestra and to supper. That weekend Mommy took me to meet our friends, the Alberts, at a scrapbooking store. She stayed to scrapbook and I went home with to Alberts to spend time with my friend Alena. I stayed until Sunday afternoon, then the brought me back home. I had a lot of fun!!


Wednesday, Dec. 10, us kids went with Daddy to Christmas shop, while Mommy exercised.
Then next day we went to allergy shots for Samantha.
That Saturday us girls went to Bright Lights.
Then on Sunday after church, we all went Christmas shopping.
Monday was the 4-H Christmas Party. This year we had a white elephant gift exchange.

Saturday, Dec. 20, we went to the Babiaks' house for Jared's 5th birthday party. He had a Narnia theme, so we all dressed up as a character or something for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

About this time we finally finished the "painting room!" My parents moved in. It is light blue with one wall dark blue. Laminate wood floors, and cream-ish, white trim and crown.

December 24 was Joy's 7th birthday. After supper we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. Then we all opened 1 present.

We had good Christmas. The "most loved gifts" were probably the snowboard, the CDs, and the painting of our room. The snowboard's feet holes are a little small, so when my parents saw another snowboard at the Good Will, they bought it too. We got a Chris Tomlin, a Toby Mac, and a Casting Crowns CD. And we used Christmas money to paint us older girls' room. We painted it over Christmas bread. It has three walls light purple, and one wall dark purple. It has cream-ish, white trim and crown. My dad laid some laminate wood floor also. We really, really like it!!!! For New Year's Eve we just stayed home and played games.

Saturday the 17 we went bowling with 4-H. That was a lot of fun!!!
After church the next day, the Alberts came over.

Yesterday(Feb.2) the midwife came. Everything is going well with our baby girl! I went to piano, and our parents went to the famous...Walmart.

Today we are just doing school and regular stuff. We are all eagerly awaiting when the baby will be born. My parents haven't decided on a name yet, but they are thinking of a few different ones.

I'll see if I can get some pictures up within a few days.

So now that you guys are all caught up on our lives... I will go do school. :)
