Cat-sitter needed.

Hey all,

Is there anyone out there who would like to baby-sit my cat for about a month? Don't everyone volunteer at once. Angie was going to take him but decided it wasn't the best idea for a pregnant lady.

Friends

Eli got this sock monkey from Josh and Jess for Christmas. I love the puppy-dog look in his eyes!!

Christmas

Christmas fun!

Winterwonderland

I went for a walk in the woods on my snow shoes. I tried to take a picture of all the animal tracks in the snow. Aren't they cool? In front of the barn picture, you can see my tracks as I started across the field. And as a special bonus, you get to see my new barn, too.

You know, God didn't have to make this world beautiful, but He did it for us. I for that, I am grateful.

Anyway, I just wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas & a blessed New Year. I may not see all of you on Christmas Day so wanted you all to know we were thinking of you & we love you.

Love, Hopper

PS: If any of you have snow shoes, come on over.

correction to the post below

hey morens...the blog elizabeth is talking about in the post below...the address is:
www.ourlittlefamilyt.blogspot.com ....you simply must go there and read...she's
quite a writer.

So I thought after seeing everyone else's cute babies, I should put up a picture of Olives. This was last week during a bath - great time for smiles, huh, Jill?
Also, if anyone wants to check out the Toftness blog it's http://www.ourlittlefamilyt.com/ Come see what else is happening in our lives!..not that it's anything real spectacular, but there are some fun photos.
I'm not sure if we'll be able to make it to Madeline's, so merry Christmas to all if we don't see you..and have a merry Christmas even if we do!!

Isaiah Juetten

Here are some pictures finally. I tried posting them last night but I must have been too tired and I screwed it up. I am not sure if they are coming to Madeline's. I asked Katy about it last night and she wasn't sure. Haley and Emma decorated Isaiah's bassinet for him--in case you couldn't tell.

Isaiah and I had a little talk last night and he told me again that I am his favorite auntie!

Tubby Time!

Eli loves tubby time! Check out those cheeks!

Isaiah

When I talked to Katy this morning she said his name is Isaiah. I am not sure if I spelled it right. They also decided that he has Emma's nose. I will post pictures late tonight.

I will keep you up to date.

Maggie

ps--when I was talking to Katy I heard him tell her she was talking to his favorite auntie! Funny how he knows that and he hasn't even met me yet!

It's a Boy!!!!!!!!!

Katy had a boy this evening. At this point he does not have a name and they aren't sure who he looks like but they think he might resemble Emma. He weighed 6 pounds 8 ounces and is 20 inches long.

I am going up to the hospital tomorrow night after work so when I get some pictures I will post them.

Little Tike

So looks like Eli, Oliver, and Mitchell will have another somebody to play with. What if it is a girl?!?!?!?!

Like something out of a Calvin and Hobbes comic stripe the ultrasound was a perfect picture then just when the doctor hit the button the little tike moved. So, hope you have a trained eye, this is the best you will get for several weeks.

First Christmas

Eli had his first Christmas celebration this past weekend. He had lots of fun, and really likes his new farm set. After opening his present he was very tired -- and cuddly!!

Our First Christmas as Mr. and Mrs. G!

Crazy Little Boy!!!

Mitchell was having fun driving Daddy's pickup!

There is just something so wonderful about a boy and a dog.

Is anyone out there?

The blog has been pretty quiet for a while. Is everyone so busy getting ready for Christmas that they don't have time to converse?

crystal berries..

Bobby got me a new camera for my birthday. I took this photo with it this morning.

Katy and Mitchell update.......

Hello,

Katy spent Friday night in the hospital again so she is on bedrest for sure until the baby comes. They initially thought she may be able to go back to work a little bit but that is now completely out of the question. She still needs lots of prayers.

With all that is going on I forgot to update you on Mitchell. He is still a little bit crooked if you know what you are looking for but he is not going to need surgery or another helmit.

Thank you all for praying. Our family has been requiring lots of prayers lately.

Maggie

Here is a sample of some of the photos for the calendar...for those of you who don't know this is Grandma Mike, Uncle John Moren and Grandpa Merle.
Thanks to all of you who gave me photos...I'm hard at work trying to create pages with all of your cute faces on them...it's sooo fun!
