Thanks for stopping back by to check out the happenings in the Baima family. Quite a bit has been going on recently, so here's an update!

Thanksgiving was a fun time, as usual. We had plenty of great food and great company. Of course, it was a little easier to get some quiet mealtime with Olivia spending time in her favorite place at Aunt Rachel and Uncle Thomas' house...the dog crate. We tried to get her to play with other things, but the lure of that little cage was too great. Hope that isn't a predictor of things to come. Olivia Baima...cat burglar.
























We just had a pretty large ice and snow storm blow its way through central Illinois. Luckily, we only lost power for two hours. That was much better than some who lost it for over a week! Anyway, Joe was working that weekend, so Kate and Olivia made their way to Grandma and Grandpa's house for some winter fun. She really enjoyed her time in the snow more this year. Of course, Grandpa had to teach her how to make a snowball.


The snowstorm proved too much cold for one little girl. She decided it was time to be a little more tropical in her wardrobe, despite the frigid temps.
























We decided to put the big news at the end of the update this time. Joe sees it like the fun little scenes that you get if you sit through the credits of a movie. Anyway, being in radiology has the perk of unlimited time on the ultrasound machine. That being said, we snuck an early peek at our little Christmas present (don't tell Santa). Our little Noodle is a BOY! Joe is already grooming him to be a left handed pitcher for the Cardinals, and Kate is freaking out about being squirted during diaper changes. We're all very excited, and I guess it is Mr. Noodle until further notice.

Thanks again for coming to see how we are doing. Feel free to leave comments below!
