Landry is 8 Months!

As of December 30th we have a crawling Landry!  He is quite the mover already and has completely debooked our shelves. 

Greyson is busy all the time!  He has had an incredible time building very high towers and fun garages with Stephen over break.  Today Stephen had to go to the office for a few hours and Grey hardly knows what to do.  Mom is so much less fun than dad. 

For Christmas Greyson got a hat like daddy's and he loves it so much!  They are extremely cute together!

Christmas Eve

Fun Sledding and Playing at the Park 

Landry stayed toasty warm, but he even went down the hill on the sled

 Greyson loves this "bus" at the park 

After the park we headed down to Mission Lake for some sledding and CC Skiing 

It was a beautiful cold clear, for the most part, day and it was so fun to be out! 

The Christmas Eve service was not the most enjoyable for me and the boys.  But we had a great moment at the end of the service when we lighted the candles in the dark church and Greyson sang along with Stephen and me Silent Night.  I was amazed that he knew so much of the song.  

Christmas Day!

 Thank you family and friends for all the wonderful gifts

Great gift from Mitchell, Stephen has 10 lessons already planned with it

Currier & Ives 2012

As I have said December was a busy month for us. The boys and I stayed busy with the bazaar and Currier & Ives our Old Fashioned Christmas celebration.

Practicing music the night before.  Notice the beautiful view behind us!

Currier & Ives has gotten much crazier with two kids, but Stephen and I keep going.  For a while I had Greyson in the backpack on my back and was carrying Landry just so Grey wouldn't break anymore Christmas bulbs.

Spruce Trees look a lot different than the full Pine trees of Nebraska

Stephen was on is toes all night.  He was the lead shepherd as well as one of the voices for our very own Kodiak Home Companion for the show. 

The Trip to Ouzinkie

One morning from our deck! 

December has been a very busy month for the Foremans.  Stephen finished his class with UAF, co taught a MANDT class for some teachers in the district and also made a trip out to the village of Ouzinkie.  We have spent a great deal of time there for the Mission, but this time it was for the school district.  This was his fourth try at getting out there and he made it, but then got stuck for a night because of high winds.  

But his trip home the next morning was very beautiful and he even got a picture of our home.  

Our house 

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a nice and quite Thanksgiving this year at the Mission.  It was plenty snowy which made for fun during the days and we all got together for a nice meal on Thanksgiving afternoon. 

The kids had fun pretending to be driving a car all evening and Stephen attempted carving a turkey.  

Merry Christmas

 

The boys got a great early Christmas present from Grandpa and Grandma Foreman, new Christmas Outfits.  We got so many great comments about how cute they looked and we of course had to agree. 

The next big step was getting them to both look at the camera, that as you can see didn't happen, but at least they both had nice faces.   

A Visit With Santa and the BAZAAR!

We had the KBM Bazaar this year and it was quite the event.  One of the great things was having Santa come for a visit.  Both the boys liked him and Mrs. Claus just fine.  It's probably because they sounded and looked a lot like our friends Eddie and Helen Rose.  

It was a busy, but fun day and great way to raise support for the Mission.  

We had the climbing well going and so many kids climbed! (notice Stephen and Trevor lounging in the couches in the back of this picture) 

About 50 tables of vendors! 

 Incredible pastries and cookies made by Sam Mendez!  She is so talented!

Helen is our office manager and Eddie is a pilot to all the surrounding villages.
