Paigey (a.k.a. Blitzen)

I couldn't get this little Scrooge to smile!

Saturday, December 19, 2009

Despite the wintery wind and freezing snow, I took the girls out. Dagney made snow angels and climbed piles of plowed snow. It was a lot of work getting them ready and I had to bribe them to come in with candy canes.

Trip to the mall

We headed to the mall today so that the girls could get haircuts and new shoes. Dagneys favorite part was riding the tractor and pink horse in the food court. Paige, as you can see, is not quite as enthusiastic!

Quick Update

Jenn sent this picture to me today as she took Dagney and Paige to the mall to get new shoes and snow boots. This is a picture of Dagney riding a motorized horse at the mall.

Dagney's favorite expression, while looking at toy magazines is, "When Santa comes, bring this!"

Me and my beefsteak

Stroller Pics

Okay, Paige jumped in the stroller, Dagney started pushing and I had to take these adorable pics.

Warm November Gameday

Sorry about the infrequent blog updates. Even with Ohma's generous help, sleep is at a premium.

Today was so beautiful and although I would kill for two hours sleep before kickoff, we decided two hours of fresh air was too good to pass up.

With love...

2009 Halloween Customes

Paige went as a pretty pink bunny, with big floppy ears. She is really hamming up the cute aspect of her costume!

Dagney picked out her own costume this year...a penguin. The first thing she did after putting the costume on was hold out her hands and 'waddle'. She would keep repeating, 'waddle', 'waddle', 'waddle'.

"Who is excited about Trick or Treating??"

"Let's go already!"

Carving the Pumpkin

This year Dagney got to pick out the shapes of the Jack O'Lantern. She wanted a triangle nose and a happy face. We think our 2009 Jack O'Lantern came out just fine.

Dagney seemed very excited about cutting up the Pumpkin. We were encroaching on Paige's nap time, but she was still a good sport and enjoyed the carving too.

"Yuckie! Those are pumpkin guts!"

Paige was a little more adventurous, she went as far as to touch the pumpkin guts.

And finally, we began our carving with the most important piece, the Bunkers' nose. Here we go, one Jack O'Latern triangle nose coming right up!

My Big Brother Tommy

My handsome, funny and loving brother Tommy passed away on Monday. It was so sudden and is yet to be explained. This has been a tough week for us and I am especially heartbroken not to be able to say goodbye to him today in Georgia...more for the fact that it would make it all seem more "real" to me somehow. The picture above was taken at Dagney's Baptism party in August of 2007...it made me smile to see his face and see him in a typically funny pose for the camera. That was Tommy and we will miss him so much.

Tommy's service is today...please visit www.wagesfuneralhome.com where his obituary can be viewed and messages can be left. I also want to say thank you to all of my friends and family who have been so supportive and have helped me over the week...

I am the Potty-Master

About two weeks ago Dagney started to ask for the potty to go pee-pee. We decided as parents to take our foot off the gas as the process takes a lot of attention and patience; and with Lillian coming we thought it was too much for us.

Somebody forgot to tell Dagney as she continues to ask for the potty and use it.

Gifts from Grandpa and Granny

Dagney and Paige got special little gifts from Grandpa and Granny. Dagney got a new outfit and accessories for the doll she got last Thanksgiving and Paige got a doll of her own.

Thank you Grandpa and Granny!

First Day Home

...and Dagney decided she would start peddling on her trike. Yeah Dagney!

Homecoming day

Gazelle from South Africa

Paige is well connected...a good friend of mine at FYI returned from her motherland last weekend and brought back this gazelle for the girls.

Early bird gets the ... Gazelle?

The Big Game

The girls and I are whooping it up in anticipation of the big game tonight! Maybe I'll let the girls have a sip of beer if the ol' Purple is victorous tonight.

Just kidding mommy, we are all behaving.

Finally, Little L

No words necessary.

Jenn's Vitals

Nurse is checking Jenn's vitals, after which Jenn and I will get to see Little L.

We're looking over the menu, I am eye-balling the cheeseburger deluxe with fries but the nurse said broth and jello for Jenn.

Pictures are coming soon...I hope.

Lillian Frances Bunkers

Lillian Frances Bunkers was born 12:06 p.m., 6 pounds 9 ounces, 19.5 inches and with red hair (shocker).

Jenn is doing great, recovering nicely with a nap. I think she just snored, she is so cute.

Pictures to come within the hour.

After crying, Lillian's first words were clearly audible, "Pound those Packers on Monday night Mr. Favre." Lillian was worried about not catching the Vikings-Packers on Monday night, so she came two days early.

Thank you all for your support.
