Spring Time is Here

Yesterday we really enjoyed the outdoors. In the morning, my friend Tracy and her son Ben had a playdate with Eli and I at Wildwood Park near our home. The boys loved digging in the sand! Later on that evening Brian, Eli, and I went to Bison Park also near our home to play.

I think Eli looks a lot like me (Katrina) in this picture when I was his age

Eli loves to tackle his stuffed animals!

24 Weeks Along

I am already 24 weeks along! This pregnancy has been going by so quickly. I really love being pregnant.  It has been fun feeling the baby move so much and now Brian can feel him move too!

Feels Like Spring!

Spring has come to Minnesota! Friday morning Eli and I went for a long walk to the park. Eli enjoyed swinging and running around the park. It was in the 60s on Friday and it has been in the 70s this weekend. Eli loves wearing his sunglasses, he will not take them off!

Eli holding on tightly to his three hammers, he sure loves playing with them!

April 2013

Yesterday Auntie Karen and her friend Heather came over to babysit so that Brian and I could go out to have a date day to celebrate his birthday early. We had a great time! We went out to lunch at Yum, a restaurant in St. Louis Park, we did some shopping, played two games of Cribbage at a coffee shop, and then went out to dinner at Sawatdee, which is a delicious Thai restaurant. Brian's family is coming over this afternoon for a barbecue and cake to celebrate his birthday. We are going to have a Hobbit Party the end of May to celebrate Brian's 30th birthday with friends. We wanted to wait until it gets warmer out because we want to have a backyard party. We are excited! 

All ready for our date!

We thought Eli looked like Maverick from the movie Top Gun in his sunglasses and jacket

First Pictures of Baby # 2!

We had another ultrasound today because the last time that we went in the baby was laying in a way so that the doctor could not see the whole heart and could not see the face. He cooperated better today! His heart looks perfectly healthy and we were able to get some great pictures of his cute little face.

We brought Eli along to see his baby brother. Eli got really nervous when I laid down to have the exam of my belly. He kept saying nervously "Mama, Mama" I told him that I was just fine. He did calm down after awhile. It was so fun to see our new little baby!

My Doggie and I

Yesterday on my way home from a work meeting, Brian called and said that he and Eli were making a quick Costco run. He said that he could not resist getting Eli a stuffed animal while they were there. I asked him if it was big and he said I would have to see. I knew it was big, but I never thought it would be this big!! Eli does love it a lot and calls him his "Woof, Woof". He has the biggest smile when he hugs him and wrestles him to the ground. I told Brian that this is the last stuffed animal to get Eli because he has so many. He agreed. Brian stated that we have decided to not get a dog for awhile so this would be the next best thing. I must say he might be right, the stuffed dog even sheds! It is fun to see how much Eli loves playing with the dog!

What a handsome almost 18 month boy!

Baby # 2 is a BOY!

We had our 20 week ultrasound this afternoon and we found out that we are having another boy! We are so excited for Eli to have a buddy! They will be so close in age and have fun playing together. Everything on the ultrasound looked good and baby looks healthy! 

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter Celebration for what Jesus did for us. We went to church and then had both sides of the family over for an Easter dinner. Grandpa and Grandma Bossany, Uncle Jason, Grandpa and Grandma Meyer, Auntie Karen, and Auntie Kristi came over to our house Sunday afternoon to celebrate. Eli woke up from his nap and was so happy to see everyone at our house. He was all smiles! We had an Easter Egg hunt for Eli in our living room because it was not warm enough to do one outside. Eli loved the Easter Egg hunt and did a fabulous job finding all of the Easter Eggs. It was so fun to watch! We then had a delicious Easter dinner where everyone contributed. The food was excellent and it was a special time to spend with family.
