F22 is back in service...well, almost!

This fall we got rid of our landline which left a 'sore' spot on our wall! We've debated about how to cover it up, shopped for many different options but just hadn't found something we could agree on! Well, while we were at my folks this Christmas they were getting rid of some of their 'collectibles!' This phone was one that Scott and I got excited about as it was the one my dad used on the Sletto farm growing up! Today, Scott mounted it on the wall covering that 'sore' spot that we just couldn't agree on! I love it!! What a great piece of family history to have! F 22 was the number for the Sletto farm. Thanks!!

Thoughtfulness....

This week I was working the night shift. Our tradition is that Scott and Soren come and wake me up at 5pm to get ready for work, as I sleep better knowing that I don't have to 'listen' for an alarm clock. Yesterday, Soren jumped into bed with me and asked, "Mama, how was your sleep today?" My answer was, "Great, thanks for asking!" Soren then asked, "Mama, how was your babies sleep today?" Of course, I answered "Great!" That made my heart smile...what a great way to start my day!! Thanks, buddy!!

Holiday Fun!

Uncle Scott took all the cousins (over 3yrs old) sledding and tubbing....what a great time!!

Christmas Eve

This year we celebrated Christmas at my folks' house in SD with my siblings and their families! Somehow it seems as if the weekend went to fast, we ate WAY to much yummy food and there wasn't enough time to play games and spend time together! However, here are a few of the shots from this weekend!

Josiah and Siri playing us some pre-dinner music!

Newberg family after services!!

Lesson learned...hopefully!!

This morning Soren decided NOT to finish his breakfast. The consequence at our house to not finishing breakfast is no morning snack. Let me tell you that snacks are a big deal and we rarely miss one! Of course, he choose not to eat breakfast the day that we were going with friends to see a new baby at another friends house which = a cranky Soren! Well, by 10.30 it was clearly evident that Soren was HUNGRY!! He fussed, and fussed and whined. Well, when we got home he ate: 1 bowl of cheerios with milk, a whole banana, 10-12 sugarsnap peas, 1 cheesestick, 7 fishsticks, a yogurt and 2 glasses of milk. I think he was hungry:-)!! Maybe tomorrow he'll finish his breakfast so that he can have a am snack!!

Preschool Christmas Program

Today the mom's got invited to preschool for the 2010 Christmas program. We got to enjoy songs and rhymes, Christmas treats decorated by our children and watching the excitement of our kids 'showing off' for the moms!! Cheesy smile by the Cmas tree!
