Moving, Homemade Pizza, Moving

It has been very busy so I will keep this brief. Double move really stinks, but we will be happy to get into our new home. Many of you have asked for photos so I have included a lot of them. The girls took time to make pizza recently. It was very good and they had fun.

Mom and Brady had fun too, but Brady was exhausted from tossing the pizza dough in the air.


Here are photos of our home.

I am not sure why, but the photos never seem to appear in the order in which I download them so I am sorry they are not in order.

Hope you like it.

Hail to the Victors!!!!!

Brady was so happy that Michigan beat UConn he celebrated with much happiness.

Watch out State...

I will lure you in with my cuteness...

and my charm...

and CRUSH you!!!

Sweet Pea!

Braeden is growing quickly. We have to take cute photos while we can.

Adorable.

Christmas is a time to remember!

Christmas is such a fun time. We have so many photos we can't possibly share them all, but here are a few for you to enjoy.

Anthony Ruetz sporting a new fashion statement.

Brady was not amused with his reindeer hat, but we thought it was adorable.

We had our friends the Junkers over. We had a fun time.

Junkers and Feketes. Timmy, Katie, Ashlyn, Micah, and Abby.

I love Braeden.

Braeden was dedicated at the Christmas Eve service in front of 300+. It was a nice turnout despite the freezing rain. Pastor Mac has dedicated all 3 of our kids.

Christmas at the Walkers. Katie enjoys a gift.

Jenna loves her gift.

Ben got some new books. He loves to read and is doing great with the alphabet. He will also be a big brother by next Christmas. That was a nice Christmas surprise.

Jacob showing off the MSU attire. Too many MSU gifts this year. We have got to find some balance in this family between MSU and UM. I intend to balance this out somehow.

New jammys. Love the warm kind.

Nice shirt.

Molly loves her new Vera Bradley bag and is already putting it to good use.

All the excitement put Brady to sleep. Papa loves to hold Brady.

I love my shirt and my brother-in-law behind me.

Molly was REALLY happy this Christmas.

Katie and Abby got a nice matching outfit from Mia and Papa. They wore it to church and it was a hit with the congregation. They got lots of compliments.

Brady laying on his new thingy.

He is so cute I can hardly stand it.

Everyday it gets cooler and cooler to have a son. I thank God for blessing us with Braeden. Sometimes the greatest gifts seem so undeserved, but somehow God wanted this for us and we couldn't be happier.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I am sorry I haven't posted in a while. New baby, sold our house, looking for new house, thinking about packing our stuff, Molly starting back to work soon, officiating basketball games, school functions, Christmas parties, and on and on. You can understand and relate to that perhaps. I am very stressed about moving, but excited, too. There doesn't seem to be much to choose from this time of year and I don't really feel like renting until we find something we really want at the right price. God will have to work this one out because I can't handle it. Here are some recent pictures.

Katie and Abby couldn't wait to help get the tree up. They are getting really good at helping with this kind of stuff.

Making progress.

Complete and happy.

This is so cute. I just had to post it. Brady had his shots on Thursday and wasn't feeling too good. He has a bit of reflux so we now have med for that. He also has trachea mylasia. Same thing Katie had. He is in the 75th percentile for height and weight. I love him.

I love them all very much.

Molly has really enjoyed being the mom of an infant again. She is dog tired all the time and very rarely complains about it. She is a trooper and I love her very much.

Abby played a piano duet with Patricia in church on Sunday at Assembly of God. She did fantastic.

The girls both performed wonderfully at the Christmas musical on Thursday.

Love it.

Thanksgiving Weekend

The girls worked hard on the seating arrangement decoration. It was very neat and they had a lot of fun doing that with mom.

I'm dreaming of a white Thanksgiving?
Girls had fun playing in the snow with Macy.

Molly and Char made us a wonderful feast. It was delicious and we all enjoyed it very much.

Brady had fun, too.

Great Grandma Walker came and spent the day with us. She loved holding Braeden.

We went to Lansing for the weekend for a much bigger feast. We had a lot of fun eating and catching up with our family. The kids got lots of exercise to burn all the calories they ate. They usually do get a lot of exercise when we visit with the cousins.

CHEESE!

It was as good as it looks.

The 2 foot platter of turkey.

We all had so much to be thankful for.

Rolling Along

Uncle Ben has his first up close look. Brady likes Uncle Ben.

The mohawk is coming along nicely.

Kris had a cold and was sad she couldn't hold Brady.

Katie made a girl out of shredded cheese. She is pretty creative.

Some quiet time.
