Christmas Morning (#1)

Saturday, December 22 we celebrated Christmas at our house in Granville.  We were excited to have Christmas morning together as a family, with the special gifts we had gotten Lucy and Eddie!  So we did it a few days early, before traveling to Perrysburg, and it worked out great!

Eddie was first up so we headed downstairs to get ready for Lucy to wake up.  Eddie was total enthralled with the tree and presents...




Lucy was still sleeping so I enjoyed giving Eddie a bottle on the couch while we waited for the fun morning to begin.


Lucy was up and the fun began.  She ran to find the tree and told us "Santa came!!!" We had presents under the tree from us and also from Jon and Jenny is Florida.  Lucy couldn't believe how many presents were waiting for her.

Her very favorite gift was a Doc McStuffin's Doctor Kit.  She wanted to open it immediately and give us a "check-up" because "I am a doctor" she would tell us.




A Disney Princess umbrella was also quite a hit!



Eddie enjoyed the wrapping paper most of all.  He loved all the excitement!


Merry Christmas 2012!


Eddie's 1st Christmas!

7 months

Mr. Edward turned 7 months old.


He LOVES food and has mastered the pincer grasp with puffs and yogurt melts.  He will smile, ear-to-ear, when he gets a piece of food to his mouth.  New this month: water sippy cup with more success, YoBaby yogurt, and Banana flavored Mum-Mums.


Eddie is scooting around, not a fast crawl, but gets where he wants to be! Most often this was the Christmas tree and decorations.



He is happy most of the time just watching his sister.  He loves the exersaucer, jumperoo, and sitting up on the carpet.



He still just has 2 teeth on the bottom and the top 4 have been moving in for awhile now.

Happy 7 months, Eddie! We love you!

Our New House

211 Sunrise Street
Granville, Ohio

The first week of November we moved into a new house in the village of Granville.  It is a small, old, quant house within walking distance to uptown Granville.



It has a front porch...


a 2 car garage along the back alley...


a small backyard and a large back porch...


a little breakfast nook...


Lucy's bedroom door is at the bottom of a steep, old staircase...


an adorable, old bathroom...




an upstairs laundry room, off the bathroom...


We are lucky to have a great house to live in!

Candlelight Walking Tour

Granville hosts a Candlelight Walking Tour the first Saturday in December every year.  It is a beautiful event where Santa arrives by firetruck and the businesses and restaurants setup special displays.

We loaded up our new cool stroller (Thanks Mimi and Papa) and headed uptown!


Lucy LOVED seeing Santa!


Our babies...

Halloween 2012

The weather was just beautiful a few days before Halloween.  So we decided to Trick-or-Treat in a closeby neighborhood that hosted the event a few days early.  We enjoyed running from house to house in 60 degree weather and no rain.  Lucy had a blast, despite being a bit shy, she ran gathering candy for a hour straight and made it to about 20 houses total!

A few nights later, Granville Village hosted Trick-or-Treat on Halloween night.  We went to a friend's house and gathered all the children!

(Everett, Eddie, June, James, Lucy, and Will)


I think June was checking Eddie out!


And Lucy was laying on James, the elephant!


But all in all, it was a fun night.  We made it to just about 5 houses that evening because it was 30 degrees and raining a bit.

Fall Clean Up

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in November.  So we decided to let the kids play outside while we conquered the leaves.  With a large rake, leaf blower, and a new tarp we got the entire yard mostly finished in one day!

Lucy enjoyed a ride on her old dinosaur friend.



And Eddie charmed us in his exersaucer.



Sans blooper...



You are such a handsome little baby boy!

Granville Chili Cookoff

Granville Inn's Great Chili Cookoff was in October, just one weekend after we moved into the Village.


It was a beautiful fall day and we had fun sampling chili with the Krebehenne's!

June is too cute!


Lucy enjoyed the oyster crackers the most.
