Update...

We were having some troubles with blogspot and our internet, so we went to http://thepommerfamily.wordpress.com/

Updates on the kiddos...

Eric:
Has lost 4 teeth since May. 2 just since December 1st; just in time to sing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"
Eric turned 8; I can't believe it!

Ethan:
Is enjoying his pre-k class. And upon his last dentist appt. he's permanent bottom teeth are ready to push the baby teeth away. (insert mommy's sad face here)

Abigail:
Is almost 9 months, and has a tooth about to show itself (like within the next few days!)
Today I looked over and she had pulled herself up to standing but hasn't done it again, and I wasn't quick enough with the camera!

Andrew has the next 5 days off and we are enjoying his time off! Andrew took both boys up to the mountains yesterday for some inter-tubing, they had a blast! Tomorrow is our Pommer family Christmas! Looking forward to great family gathering and a wonderful tri-tip steak!

some more 1st in our house!

After working very hard for about a week Abigail rolled from her back to her tummy. Now it's hard to get her to stay on her back. And she'll cry if she's on her tummy for an extended period of time. And then yesterday we tried organic baby oatmeal for the first time, I don't think she liked it! But we will keep trying, in a few weeks! She seems very content with her bottle for now!

Abbey rolling over...


And here's the first oatmeal adventure...


Here's a couple pictures...

~I think you are getting ready for some serious teething, your drooling like crazy

No better way to say goodbye...

The weather was perfect, the company was just what Grandma Marion would have wanted. Even though she passed last summer, it was the first time back at her house since Andrew and I held her hand saying our final love yous and see you later. We then had a dinner with Aunt's, Uncle's, Cousin's, our kiddos, Father in law, Mother in law, and Grandpa Ralph. We then traveled to Lincoln Park in West Seattle to the ferry docks. You will forever be with us Gg, and I know you are watching over us.
