Greta is a chunky monkey! Take a look!

Lucy is doing a great job with the adjustment, too. Occasionally she humors us and sits for a photo with her sister. I don't think she finds Greta too interesting just yet. The Legos are definitely higher on her list of things to do. She will sit and rearrange the blocks over and over. She says she's building a castle for Cinderella, the mice, and Lucy. Oh, and sometimes Thomas the train is invited to live there, too.

Greta at 10 days old & her big sister, too!

Thank you to our great friend Kirsten Breth for taking some fantastic photos for us!













Also, thank you to Aunt Christy for making this fun and beautiful quilt for baby Greta!

We welcome Greta Irene with thanks, love, and joy!

Greta Irene Freund. Born January 29 at 9:13 pm. 7 pounds 15 ounces... 10 days early! Our hearts have doubled, as she is one more absolute love of our life.

Happy Birthday, Lucy! You're 2!

What a fun day she had! We want to thank everyone for adding to her special day. She knew it was all for her and soaked it all in! She was pretty exhausted that night and all day the next day, too.



I think mom and dad were a bit overzealous when shopping for her birthday this year. Mental note taken. We're already talking of scaling down next year. She had so many fun things to play with, we didn't even make it through a few presents that night. Thanks to everyone for spoiling her rotten this time, though. She loves all her new toys, and she will be sharing them with her little sister one day too!




As if her room weren't totally girlie to begin with...




Happy Birthday, Buggie! We love you more than you could possibly know!

In the Snow

Lucy's Big Sister Room!

From beginning to almost end... There's still alot of finishing to do, but I wanted to show you what we have this far. Lucy is thrilled! She asks to "Go check out the room?" every 20 minutes. She's not sleeping in it yet... but it's her favorite play space for now.




Say goodbye to the horses!






And hello to purple. Lucy brushed on the first spot of paint! Thanks to Aunt Christy for helping with the first coat, too!





With most of the painting done, we moved in some things. For now, Lucy likes to run in circles, march like Frosty the Snowman, and do gymnastics in her new room.




Luther approved!

Merry Christmas!

Here are some photos to commemorate our holiday. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
