Happy Holidays

We hope you had a wonderful holiday. The month of December leading up to Christmas has been so much fun. Earlier in the month we had breakfast with Santa. Aubrin sat with Santa with a big smile. Jackson didn't want to get to close to Santa, but he did get close enough to tell Santa that he would like Pizza for Christmas. Jackson loved having the house decorated for Christmas this year. When we first put up the tree he tried very hard to blow the lights out on the tree. It's so much fun watching him discover new things. On Christmas Eve we spent time with both of our families as well as on Christmas day. Christmas morning was so much fun at our house. Jackson was excited to get up and see what Santa left him. He loved getting his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and his GeoTrax. Aubrin is having fun playing with her new stacking toys and her Peek a Boo blocks.
Our big girl had her 6 month visit and is doing well. She weighs 16 pounds and is 28 inches long. Aubrin loves her big brother. Even though he loves her a little hard sometimes, she belly laughs at him all day.
Jackson is doing great with his potty training. He loves to go on the potty like a big boy and is very proud of himself. Jackson is also doing great in his big boy bed. Our baby is turning into such a little boy.
We hope you all have a happy, healthy and safe new year.

We think winter has finally arrived. Although, the cold weather has not stopped Jackson from wanting to be outside. He loves walking up and down the street and on the golf course collecting rocks, leaves and sticks. We have a large collection of his new found treasures at home. Last weekend was Jackson's last day of soccer. He has learned some great soccer skills as well as learning how to follow directions and share with other kids. He starts his new session in a couple of weeks. He was very excited when we gave him his soccer cookie as a celebration of all his hard work. Jackson is working on his counting and is able to count to six.
Aubrin is doing great. Our big girl is five months old. She started rolling earlier this month and hasn't stopped since. She is enjoying all of her new foods and gets very excited when she sees the spoon. It's so fun to watch Aubrin watch Jackson. She loves when he dances for her or tickles her.
We hope this finds everyone well as we enter the holiday season.

Happy Halloween

This Halloween was so much fun. Jackson was excited to carve pumpkins and get dressed for the big night. What a beautiful night we had for trick or treating. Jackson had a great time going to a few houses in the neighborhood. Jackson liked looking at all of the costumes that the other kids had on. He was a little unsure of some of the scary masks, but still loved it! Aubrin was a cute little bug. She sat on the porch with us and as we handed out treats. Today after church we went to Grandma and Papa Miller's for breakfast. Kyle came home from Chicago to visit for the weekend. Jackson had a great time playing with all of his cousins. We hope you had a fun and safe Halloween.

Our Big Girl!

Last week we took Aubrin for her 4 month check up. She is healthy and growing beautifully. Aubrin is 26 inches long and weighs 13 pounds 6 ounces. We added bananas to her cereal and she loves it!
Jackson helped Grandpa Olenech celebrate his birthday and helped blow out the candles. Last weekend Erin and Jayson came home for a visit and also to register for the two new joys that will be joining our family in April.

Fall Days

We have been enjoying fall and all of the beautiful days we have had. Jackson has found a love for feeding the goats at an apple orchard near our house. We often make daily stops there. Jackson was very eager to pick out pumpkins for both he and Aubrin.

Every year our friend Shawn and Kerri throw a festive Halloween party for the kids called Boo Bash. Jackson dressed as a baseball player of course. He was a Lakeland Eagles baseball player like his daddy's team he coaches and wore the number 8 just like his daddy did when he played ball. Aubrin dressed like a ladybug, and a cute bug she was.



Aubrin is growing so fast. She is almost 4 1/2 months. She started cereal this week and is not sure if she likes it yet. She is sleeping 12 hours at night and taking a few naps during the day. She is such a happy little girl. We go for her 4 month appointment Monday.
We hope this find everyone well and enjoying the pleasures of fall.

Happy fall!

Love,
Todd, Amy, Jackson and Aubrin

Many people have been asking to see updated pictures of the kids. I thought this would be a great way to show pictures and keep you updated on all of the great new things our little peanuts are doing. Jackson is growing a mile a minute. He loves his little sister. He likes looking at books with her and is a big help when it comes to feeding her. Jackson has found that if he dances for Aubrin she will smile and laugh. Aubrin is such a happy little girl. She is always smiling and has found her little laugh. We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the start of fall!
