For some reason I can't get videos to load on here right anymore, so I guess I'll have to stick with pictures. Here are a few more random ones of Maleah from the past couple of days. I am really enjoying staying home with Maleah now, and am so thankful that God answered our prayers and made it possible for me to quit my job. It definitely takes some sacrifices, but they are completely worth it!

Maleah got her 9 month pictures taken on Sunday (I have been meaning to get her in since 6 months). So if you want to take a look at them, go to www.flashportraits.com. The password to view them is Maleah. :)

Just a few random pics...

She LOVES to look out the window, especially in the morning when everyone is getting to school.

Our Third Anniversary- We are so Old!!! :o)

Last weekend Corey and I spent the night in Duluth to celebrate our third anniversary. It was a lot of fun- it snowed the whole time we were there on Saturday, so it was a bit chilly, but very cool- we both like snowstorms. :) We stayed in a hotel in canal park that was just recently built- it was really nice, and our view was awesome- all you could see was water. The pics aren't the greatest- I was smart enough to forget my camera at home, so I had to buy a disposable one- it really made me appreciate digital cameras!

All the North Carolinians came home!! So many babies!!

Sorry for the long silence- my old computer broke so we ordered a new one from Dell and had to wait for it to get delivered. So now I guess I have some catching up to do. A couple of weeks ago Holly, Phil, Noelle, Reagan, Meagan, Justin, and Mia all came home from North Carolina, so I took a few days off of work to spend time with all of them. One night we had everyone, including Nick, Kassy, and Olivia over for dinner. It was pretty crazy since there were four babies, plus Anna (1) and Noelle (2) at one point. We also went to Ikea and the Mall of America one day. Aunt Becky accomplished her goal of buying Noelle's affection and the title of "favorite aunt" by taking her to the Build a Bear store (where Princess Kitty was born). Anyhow, it was a fun week and I can't wait for them all to come back at Christmas time!

This is Maleah's first time sitting in a restaurant high chair (instead of her car seat). I think she liked it a lot better- she actually let us eat!



























Here she is sitting on the dresser/changing table in her room.

We finally got away...

for a little while, anyway. On Saturday Grandma and Grandpa W. watched Maleah for us so that we could get out and do something. We ended up going to Prescott, WI, which is where Corey proposed over 3 years ago (time sure does fly). It was kind of disappointing in a way because we were going to go to the same restaurant that he took me to on that day, but it was no longer open, and so we ended up going to a different one across the street. Then we were going to get ice cream at a little shop that we went to, but that was closed too! So we ended up going to DQ instead. I guess a lot can happen in 3 years. But anyhow, it was still fun and the weather was absolutely beautiful!


You can sort of see the patio in the background where we ate lunch.
















We went to the same spot by the river where Corey proposed.
