Catching up

  We had really nice Christmas with everyone.  I think we celebrated 4 or 5 times this year.  We had a little party at our house Christmas Eve, my parents stayed the night and Burke opened gifts in the morning.  Grandma GG came over for breakfast.  Then we headed over to Laurie and Jeff to celebrate with the Penziol's, then to the Erne's to see all of my mom's side of the Fam.  Matt and Court and the kids came that evening and stayed at our house.  Sunday morning we celebrated again with them.  We had a very busy couple of days!  Burke and Dane received tons of cool stuff.  THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!!

 Now were in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida.  We left Wednesday night drove until we got into Florida got a hotel and continued the drive Friday morning.(The boys did really well.  Dane slept majority of the time and Burke watched DVD's.)   My cousin Rich plays at the S.O.B for New Years Eve each year so we went and saw him.  The weather here was been beautiful in the mid 70's.  Our first day we saw dolphins from our balcony.  We've been relaxing by the pool and enjoying the views.  Dane went swimming for the first time.  He liked the water.  Yesterday we took the boys to the beach.  Burke played in the sand and found shells.  Today Paul and my dad are out golfing (again) when they get back we're going to the marina to see manatees.  We have a couple more days here until we made the 23 hour drive home.

I've taken about 400 pictures since the week of Christmas but I don't have the right connection to upload them to the computer :(  Hopefully we can figure something out b/c I'm way behind on my posts! 

Tree

We went to Guse's again to cut down our tree.  We really like it there.  We drove out in the field to find our tree then came back to the building and went for a carriage ride and then sat inside and had some popcorn.  Burke loves their popcorn : D  I think this is our place!

 

 

 

Turkey Day!

 

 

 

 

Friday after Thanksgiving we all went bowling

 

2 month check up

Dane just had his check up yesterday.  He met all his milestones!  He's cooing, following objects with his eyes and started smiling. 

His next appt will be when he's 4 months old. By then he should be giggling and squeling, turning his head to follow objects, rolling over, and grasping toys.

1st Snow-- Nov 6th

We woke up saturday morning and went right outside to play!  Burke couldn't wait to get ready to go out.  Paul and Burke had a snow ball fight and built a mini snowman.  (in the 2nd pict Paul is rolling a ball for a snow man and burke is getting ready to throw a snow ball at him)  He's going to have a blast this winter!

Don't Smile Burke

I found that if I tell Burke not to smile this happens!        

 
 All he wants to do is play with Play Dough!

Paul was gone the 1st week in November for a certification class and he came home with some presents for Burke.  He got him train tracks for his table, a new toy trunk and the racing rug.  Burke was so excited that Paul was home so he wouldn't take a nap.  Instead he laid on his rug with his tractor. 
Not mind the trashed toy room :)

Halloween 2010

This year we trick-or-treated in our neighborhood.  We had a rough started but Burke ended up liking it once he saw all the candy he was getting in his bucket.  (We had to wake Burke up from his nap to go).  He loved passing out the candy.  He'd say ' someone wants this one' and would hold on to it until another kid came up!

Dane @ 7 days old

My friend Brandi from Mom's Club was kind enough to take these pictures of Dane!  He's pretty precious :)

Hole in 1

Yesterday Paul golfed in an local tournament with my dad and he got a hole in 1!   He said you can't see the green from the tee box so they didn't know until they went looking for their balls and one of the guys yelled 'There's a ball in the hole!'   He was super excited so I thought I'd share his good news :)
