Happy At Home

Not too much is new here. The kids keep us very busy. Norah is having lots of fun at school. Silas is starting to get ready to potty train. Seth and I hope that comes very soon. And Lucy is a happy little baby that is growing like crazy. She is givning away lots of smiles lately.

It's fun to see how much Norah and Silas love Lucy.

Meeting Max

First off I have to say sorry for taking so long to post. I have tried a couple times to upload pictures but blogger was having issues and wouldn't let me.

This month the kids got a new cousin. Maxwell Joseph Buerger was born on Janurary 11. We were so excited to meet him so we went to visit the Buergers the next day. What a cutie! Also he has a great head of hair. We can't wait to see him and the whole Buerger family again soon.

Here is a happy Lucy. I know it doesn't go with the rest of the post but it is too cute of a picture not to share.

Happy New Year

New Year's day was fun for us because we were able to celebrate Christmas with Seth's family. We always have a fun time, although it does get loud and a little crazy with all the kids running around and playing. I think all the adults enjoy the quiet car rides home. We are so thankful that we are able to all get together and have a good time. Hopefully the next time we all get together will be soon.

1 Month Old

Our little Lucy is now 1 month old. She is such a good girl. We are loving all the little smiles that we can get out of her. It will always brighten your day. She is also getting really good at holding her head. She is holding it way better than what Norah and Silas did at her age. Lucy is doing pretty good sleeping at night. She wakes up a couple times to eat but she's been going right back to sleep. We can't wait to she how she grows and changes in the next few months.

A little smile.

You have to love that smile.

Norah and Silas will both ask to hold Lucy every once in a while. These videos are from the other day. They sure do love their little sister.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Jaegers! This year we stayed close to home. We would have gone to CA to be with the Bergs but flying with a month old baby during cold and flu season didn't sound like a fun idea to us. But we are hoping to go out and visit around Easter time. Christmas Eve we went to our church, had a yummy supper and opened gifts with the kids. It's always fun to see how excited they get and how much they appreciate their gifts. Christmas day the kids got to open their stockings from Santa, we went to church and then headed to Ixonia to see Seth's Grandma Jaeger and family. We were also lucky to visit with Seth's Grandma Braasch. It's always nice to see family and we get to see more when we celebrate with the Jaeger family on New Years. We have been greatly blessed this year in many ways. And we can't wait to see how our 3 greatest blessings grow up and change in the next year.

Christmas Eve

Norah and Silas had a ball opening gifts. They also thought it was fun helping Lucy open her gifts.

Pretty little Lucy.

Thank you Great Grandpa and Granny for the nice pajamas.

Playing with new gifts.

Here are two videos we got of the kids opening some gifts.

Silas playing with his new race track.

Bath Time

Lucy is getting bigger and bigger. When she was about 2 weeks old, she was able to have her first real bath in her bath tub. She did great. Not even a little whimper. Silas and Norah had fun watching and were talking to her the entire time.

Getting ready for her bath with daddy.

She loved it, well she tolerated it.

After the bigger kids were done watching they had fun brushing their teeth.

Silas has recently started showing a little interest in potty training. So Seth and I are excited, way more excited then Silas at this point. We took Silas to the store to pick out big boy underpants. He picked out Spiderman. We haven't really started yet but we hope to soon.

Snow Day

Recently we had a huge snow fall. Both Norah and Seth had a snow day from school.  So we spent the day relaxing inside. I think we got 12 to 15 inches of snow. Seth took the bigger kids out to play in the snow. They had a ball. Since then they have been able to play out in the snow a couple times. Although the cold isn't that fun the snow sure is pretty.

Lucy and I relaxed inside while everyone else was outside.
