The Nielson's: February 2009

Hello All, Yes, as usual it has been a while.

....and yes, life is crazy as usual and Yes, we got a puppy and he is so darn cute...except at 2 am, 4 am, 5 am and again at 6 am. But what the heck I really am use to it. Dallan has 6 teeth now and is still army crawling all over. He has not mastered getting up on his knees and moving his arms, but he is trying and trying and trying. His big sister has started preschool. Our play group has turned play group into a preschool co-op instead where we teach each others kids. Natalie loves it and wonders why she doesn't get to ride the yellow school bus like her Aunt Ashley. She is so funny and truly cares about everyone. When daddy gets home from work she always asks "How was your day daddy?" ....and then listens for his reply. She is also mastering swimming and is now swimming by herself. I am so amazed when I watch our little fish. She is also still taking her little mommy and me dance class, but would rather do ring-around-the-rosie over and over and over and over instead of the dance to Three Blind Mice (which is what she needs to know for her recital). All is well here...just waiting for Spring and praying for more rain.

Blessings to your and your family!

Love - The Nielsons

Dallan is sitting up and so proud of himself.

No, Tiny is not excited about his new friend at all!!!

I know...what was I thinking?! We got a puppy and named him Odie. He is 4 weeks old and getting use to his big sister....she packs him around everywhere including in her baby stroller. He fits perfectly in there. Last night she had him sound asleep in Dallan's bumbo seat. Too Cute!!

Can you see those teeth? He already has 6!!

Our Play group Valentine Party....they had so much fun.

Smile Uncle Jared.....Reading his little book to his niece (hopefully this will rub off on him....Natalie wants some More cousins Unlce Jared and Auntie Steffie)
