Ulrich Updates!!!

Wow - it has been a long time - I apologize! We don't have internet anymore, so my posts are probably going to be few and far between. But here is an update for now . . .

Scott's uncle has been in town for the past couple of weeks and so it has got him back into hunting and fishing even though it is freezing outside. (But I guess that's when you go pheasant hunting huh?) He shot this beautiful pheasant for the first time in years. He was so excited and so were the boys. He caught two this hunting season.
His dad and him also went fishing and Scott was really disappointed that his dad caught a bigger fish than him, but hey - you can't always be the best :)

After Scott graduated from PA school, we moved in with my parents when we sold our house and stayed there for about 2 months until we found a place of our own. We finally found one and moved in the 2nd weekend of November and are loving it. I don't have any pictures of it yet, but here is Koen in his new room snoozin' with his legs crossed. It's so fun to have so much space and have lots of room for the boys to run and be their wild selves. There is plenty of room for visitors so come on over.

We spent Thanksgiving Day with the Ulrichs and had a great day. It all started off with a fantastic meal of course!

The kids love getting together and playing!

We thought we would let all the kids watch a movie and a little while into it - this is what I found. Austin kept saying, "Shhhhh - he's asleep". I thought it was so sweet he would be so concerned for his brother. It's times like this that are so rewarding to be a parent.

That evening we got a little "crazy" and did some "shot contests" with pop of course. We had contests who could drink the 6 little cups the fastest. I got wasted!

These 3 guys were all pretty fast - they all finished at about the same time. It's amazing what entertains us huh? We had a great holiday and it made it even better that we were able to be with our family. It's such a blessing that we get to live so close! Thanks for a great holiday - Ulrichs!

We also celebrated Koen's 2nd birthday. We had a great day with lots of family and loads of treats. Koen was in heaven. It was fun to be able to have so many people in our new place and not feel totally crammed.

Koen is obsessed with any kind of car and you would think that we had enough cars, but in our house - you can never have too many cars. He was so excited for every single little car.

Our boys love these tangle toys whenever we go to the doctor's office, the bank, etc. Koen was saying "WHOW" in the picture. He was so excited. Whenever we would tell him "Happy Birthday" - he would say, "Hap Biday Daddy" or whoever's name said it to him. It was hilarious. He had a great couple of days celebrating it. We want to thank all those that celebrated with us and your generousity and kindness. He loves everything!

It has been a crazy and fun-filled month and we are looking forward to another fun-filled and crazy month of December. Hopefully I can post again before Christmas - we shall see!
