Eggs ~ Day 341

Yum!

Dell is using utensils more and more and doing a great job.  His sister used them a lot right off the bat.  She refused to be fed by anyone but herself.  Dell, however, preferred to have us feed him.  Nowadays though, he is happy to take charge.

A Fun Little Surprise ~ Day 315

A package arrived today!  The kids enjoyed the "stuffing" more than what was ordered!

Trains ~ Day 313

Kensington and Dell got a "new to them" surprise when Poppaw fixed up Brenden's old train table.

 All three kids had a blast playing on this together!

Target ~ Day 312

Riding like a big boy for the first time.  He loved this!

Lost In Space ~ Day 294

 Building blocks... and looking like it might be nap time, hence the title of this post!

Making a Valentine for Papa!

Rainy Day Bath Time ~ Day 289

A little fun @ bath time tonight.  This kid won't stop walking!  You'd think he'd get tired!

Great Mommaw ~ Day 268

Thirteen Months Old! ~ Day 262

And just for fun I thought I'd share a few photos of Dell's sister Kensington when she was 13 months old.  I think there is quite a resemblance!

Peek A Boo Puppet Theater ~ Day 259

He loved playing peek a boo using Kensi's puppet theater!

A Second Chance ~ Day 239

To see Santa Claus!

 Enjoying the decorations while in line.

 This wasn't a planned visit.  I made a last minute trip home to visit my father for the weekend and when we showed up at the mall there was Santa Claus.  There was barely a line so we decided to take advantage.  I totally wish Dell was dressed a bit nicer, but over all I am very happy with the picture!

Winter Lights ~ Day 224

This year we went for the first time to the Winter Lights celebration our town has annually.  It was cold!  The kids really enjoyed it though and got to sit on Santa's lap!

  She was so excited to see Santa and then froze when she got on his lap.  Dell?  I think he had no idea what to think!

 Starting to cry just as sissy is getting brave and looking up. Haha!

Game Day ~ Day 218

We spent the afternoon at our neighbors for the Ohio State/Michigan game today.  Kensington & their oldest boy, Drew, are about 3 months apart in age.  The same is true for Dell & their youngest, Nate.  This makes for a lot of fun when we all get together!

 Making Ginger Bread Men

Watching Cars

Day 204

Earlier in the week we met up with baby Jacob.  We have been having unseasonably warm weather so it was the perfect time to head to the outside mall!

 Jacob trying on a hat!

 Dell just chillin' and waving!

Checking out the huge ice cream sundae.

Tea Time ~ Day 199

Enjoying a little story time with big brother Brenden.

Day 195

Trying to get in some snuggle time...  

They really weren't having it though!

Meeting Old Friends... ~ Day 192

...for the first time!

We had the opportunity to meet up with some friends that were traveling through from Canada on their way to Disney in Florida!  I've known this friend since we had our first babies in the same month back in August of 2007!  Today was the first time we got to meet in person.  It was such a treat!  

Kensington, Dell and Logan!

 Logan's mom Bonnie and I!

 "Redecorating" for the restaurant!

 Handsome little guy just taking it all in.

Pumpkin Patch Here We Come! ~ Day 184

This is my absolute favorite time of the year.  It is even more exciting now that I can share it with my children.  I hope to start a lot of traditions.  One tradition I started last year was a trip to the pumpkin patch.  Dell was in my belly last year, but this year he was happy to join in the fun!

We started off with some pictures at home.

Then some funny ones @ the farm.

  Time to check his height!

 Kensington and Neela taking off for the maze!

 Brenden got in on the action too!

 They had a huge area to play in the hay, complete with slides!  Can you spot Kensi in the background?

 Chad and his boys!

 We found a few fuzzy caterpillars.

 Dell wasn't sure what to think!

 He really loved the hayride!  He was just about to his melting point and then we got on the wagon.  What a life saver!

Time to pick our pumpkins!

 Dell thought this one sat nicely!

Apparently Brenden found a cozy one too!
