Update-1

Well, I guess it's been awhile since I have actually written anything about our lives. It seems we are always busy. One big event in our lives is hopefully happening on Friday when we close on our first home! Everything has been going smoothly just slowly. Once the house is ours we plan to put wood floors in the whole house. The carpet is really gross. We like wood floor and Ryan can install it himself so it will be quite affordable for us. (YEAH!) Later I will post before and after pics. Here are some pics. Enjoy!! :)

After Thanksgiving dinner. I would have to look at a close up but I'm pretty sure this is Elsie.
One day Owan wanted to put his rain/barn boots on so...I helped him. Next he wanted his coat on...I helped him. Next he wanted to ride his bike...I helped. I ran quickly to grab my camera and two seconds after I snapped this pic he wanted off the bike and the coat and boots taken off.
This is Clara enjoying a little Daddy time. Update: I was wrong. When I was looking closer I noticed it looked like Elsie so I checked up close and it is Elsie. This means Elsie has a lot of face time on this post and Clara doesn't. Oops.

Owan being Owan.


Elsie-left Clara-right

Any pic with a tongue hanging out or just about anyone with eyes shut is Clara.

Owan needing a haircut but I really don't want to try it myself and I really don't want to pay for it either. What a dilemma...shaggy hair is sort of in style right?

Owan's first Christamas tree hunt!



Here he is helping Aunt Kari put the claim tag on the top. He really enjoyed watching the tree get shaken on the shaker (which I also thought was very neat because I hadn't ever seen one).

Elsie is on the left and Clara is on the right. They were waiting for their other pajamas to dry and watching us put up Nilsen's tree.
