White Thanksgiving????

I don't think we have ever seen a White Thanksgiving before! Schools were closed the monday before because of the weather making a very long Thanksgiving break. Our family dinner was pushed back until saturday due to the weather, so Andrew and I decided to take the boys sleding! We had a great time laughing and just being the 4 of us!

Out with the old, In with the new!!! updated

Instead of paying an arm and a leg to either get a new rocking chair that would match Abigail's room or use my sewing skills and "try" to recover it myself. A scary task all it's own! I chose to save a lot of money and attempt it. I do have to thank a few people; April for the use of your sewing machine and Ketra for saving me some money on thread! And with the cost at around $50 I did this! I have to say I'm very impressed and proud of myself!

I took this...


And turned it into this!


I had some left over fabric, so I made burp cloths!

It wouldn't be November without a wind storm or a flood!

Last night our wind storm hit with no warning... 60 mile per hour winds. Our lights flickered and luckly we didn't lose power when over 100,000 did. Schools were delayed due to power outs. Then the double whamy we had a 4.2 earthquake at 7:51am. It was about 45 miles south of where we live. It knock the house like someone was pushing the house, and just when I thought maybe we should get in a door way it stopped. You would never know this afternoon that all happened, It's Beautiful out now!


saw this tree down near our house on our grocery shopping run!

Let me introduce... Abigail Patricia Pommer!

It's a girl! Eric and Ethan are so excited as well as Andrew and Myself! God has truly blessed our family!

Halloween w/ the Pommers

Early in october Eric really got into the super mario brothers game, so I ran with that idea. I had no problem finding the mario costume for Eric but had to order Ethan's online. We had a great night and the rain held off until an hour after we were done trick or treating! The costumes should fit the boys next year, so depending on what little Pommer is hiding in my tummy we will just add to the Mario theme... either the toad or the princess!

It took over a year to re-post...

Life has been busy but I promise to keep up with the blog now! We have just today added to our family; but not the way you think!!!!! That will come in March~ Meet "Hannah" we aren't sure if we are going to keep the name from the shelter!

Kindergarden...

These pictures are of orientation, and then First day of Kindergarden~ He's getting so big. But today as the bus was coming toward him; he got out of line and ran to me saying he needed a hug and kiss before he left. All the other mom's standing around just said that's so sweet! Then he waved like crazy as they pulled away!

ORIENTATION:

He told Andrew that he didn't want to hold his hand walking in to meet his teacher! Parent embarrassment has started to rear it's ugly head!
