6 Weeks To Go!

Only 6 weeks from today until Makayla Jean Riegelmann is due to join us (Febuary 1st). We are eagerly anticipating her arrival but I also feel overwhelmed with what we still need to do before she is born. Levi is now walking quite well and is enjoying the new freedom that this brings. I also am thrilled with this new skill as he is getting harder and harder for me to carry with my quickly growing belly. This last weekend we had the Millers, some friends from California, come up to visit which was alot of fun. We played lots of games, started our Chirstmas shopping (yes I know it is last minute), and greatly enjoyed their company. Hint, hint to anyone else who wants to come visit. Our house is always open and we would love to have you.

Mike has also been very busy at work. The remodel at Riegelmann's Appliance will hopefully be done within the next few weeks and this will bring things a little bit back to normal, of course normal for us is about to change anyway. The store looks fantastic, which I have to give my incredible husband credit for. He has been working very hard and I am proud of what he is doing. Other than that we have been doing what this time of year is best for, enjoying our time as a family, and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!!

Cutting down our Christmas Tree

Today we cut down our Christmas tree out at the Oxbow Rim Tree Farm. This was Levi's first experience with tree cutting since last year we got our tree before he was born. It was a beautiful day outside, definitely cold but the sun was shining! We found a short but perfect looking Douglas fir which we will put on top of our coffee table out of a certain some body's reach.

One Year Old!!!

It has already been a year since this little bundle of joy came into our lives and we can hardly believe it. We thank God daily and feel very priveleged and blessed to be his parents. Here are some pictures from his frist birthday party. He had a blast, he ate atleast half of a piece of cake, and he was able to show off his new skill of walking. Thank you to everyone who was able to come and share this special day with us!
