Another one bites...

Nice homemade sticky buns made for Christmas morning--burnt to smithereens. To add insult to injury, I dropped them on their way out to the garage. The boiling syrup splashed under the fridge, and up the wall some. When it cooled, I had to chip it off the floor. It left some yellow stains. Nice. Remarkably similar to my September 30 blog post... Not sure what it is about that spot...

 

Ethan's birthday

Our little boy turns 4! I think he enjoyed it, what do you think?

 

 

 

 

Notes

Alana writes herself reminder notes. These are two recent ones I found lying around. Aren't they great?

 

Announcing

So last Wednesday we decided it was time to tell the kids that we were expecting a baby. We had a colored egg hunt first. (Each egg had a clue about babies, the due date, etc.)

 

Here's Ethan pleased with his cache of eggs he found.

 

Next they opened them in a certain order, by color.

 

Alana was the first to guess that WE were going to have a baby. (Ethan was mostly insulted that he had a pacifier and a baby bottle in his eggs instead of something good like candy.)

 

Levi's reaction was priceless--"Really?! Why didn't you tell us?" The baby is due June 11, 2011, if all goes well.

Thanksgiving and Alana's birthday

 

Here's the whole Schelling clan and significant others.

 

Here are all the Schelling grandkids.

 

Miss Alana turned 7 on Thanksgiving Day!

 

Reading her card from Daddy and deciding which of the 7 restaurants she will choose to go on their date. She chose Russ' restaurant.)
