Our Little Models

We've been waiting until Nathaniel could sit up to take the kids in for some professional photos. The time has arrived! He is really close to crawling too; he pushes up on his knees and scoots about. We went in for portraits and the place was packed. Our appointment was pushed back and we had to wait. Stella was placated with fruit snacks, but when it came time to pics, both kiddos clammed up a bit. Here are some of the cute ones (before Stella decided to lay face down on the floor).




One the way home, I asked Stella why she didn't smile for the pictures. She replied, "I was in trouble, so I laid down on the floor." :)

The Kids Meet Santa

Here are a few teasers from our trip to Monastero's Restaurant to dine with Santa. We met up with the Neurauter Family, enjoyed a nice meal, and got to hang with the big man. Stella and I had been rehearsing all week so that she wouldn't be afraid to sit on his lap. All week long, she said she wanted a sticker book. However, on Santa's lap, she changed her mind and asked for pizza!



Nate is getting to be a big 7 month old boy! Still no teeth, but he is eating his way through the first foods list and does the cutest little rocking thing when we sing or play music. He is a total doll.


Finally, here are some cute little pics of the kiddos at bath time over at the Stahlmann house. Stella was such a big girl in the bath! She laid on her stomach and "swam", blew bubbles, and scrub-a-dubbed. She allowed Nate to join her for a dip for a bit as well.
