Moving the Blog

Well, Blogger won't let me upload any more photos...apparently I've reached my limit. So, I'm moving on over to wordpress. Follow me if you'd like at westmanfamily.wordpress.com

Any new posts will be on the new blog.

Our thirties

Luke and I both have November birthdays and we are both officially in our thirties now. I wonder if you every really feel like you are the age that you are? 

We had some delicious desserts and a fun time celebrating:

Bowling for Luke's 32nd bday
Audrey loved that we all wore "rock-and-roll" shoes

Cece had a good time once she stopped crying over the fact that she couldn't hold the heavy balls

My sweet husband not only sent me a dozen roses for my 31st bday but each of the girls also got a little bouquet of their own, they loved it!

First Snow

This was a typical MN weekend: 74 and sunny on Saturday then 30 something on Sunday, seriously. Yesterday must have cooled things off enough so the snow stuck around for awhile today. The girls thought it was great, thank the Lord Almighty because we also had croup come to our house this weekend and God knew we needed a good distraction :)

Took about 20 minutes to bundle up and both girls were happy about it; lets hope that continues all winter!

Audrey was thrilled to play in the snow and even had to taste some :)

Cece loves to walk and look straight up in the air, so she had a blast walking down the driveway and staring at the sky. I think she was testing me to see if I was paying attention as she moved her little legs as fast as she could to get down to the road. Good thing I'm still quick enough to catch a one-year-old!

We went for a quick walk to try to get rid of that darn "barky" cough; worked for a few minutes.

Here's little Cecelia in the tiniest hospital gown I've ever seen. SO cute! But sure hope she doesn't need to go there again anytime soon. Very thankful for modern medicine though, she slept through the night w/croup. I cannot believe it, hopefully she'll start sleeping through the nights again now :) 

Happy Shoppers

It's been awhile since I've taken both girls for a big grocery shopping trip; they were at the stage where one was constantly bothering the other sitting side by side in the cart but Cecelia didn't like being in my Beco carrier the whole time either. Luke and I had been taking turns going on the weekends but this past weekend was too busy to sneak it in...so today I was cautiously optimistic about our trip to the grocery store and I'm happy to say it was a big success, yay! Don't tell Luke though because I love that he's been so helpful :)
After quickly and happily moving through each aisle, this was how my sweeties ended our shopping trip:

Melt my heart! could they be any sweeter? :)

LOVE them to pieces.
