Thanksgiving

It was our turn to be in Pulaski for Thanksgiving this year. Matt and Kelsey picked me up from Medford on Wednesday afternoon, and we were off. Kelsey did great in the car! The last time we went to Pulaski, she was about 8 weeks old and slept the whole way. This time was no different. She slept just about the entire way there. We had to stop and wake her up so we could feed her and change her. Once we got there, it was a very laid back, relaxing weekend. On Turkey Day, we watched football, played games, spent time with family and of course, ate way more than we needed to. Friday brought shopping and more time visiting with family and friends. We headed back for Owatonna on Saturday so we could have time to unwind and get caught up before we go back to work on Monday. It was a wonderful weekend! We have much to be thankful for this holiday season and time spent with family is at the top of the list! Happy Thanksgiving!

Four Months

EC Visit

Last Saturday, Matt and I went to Eau Claire to visit two of my college roommates, Kristen and Liz. We try to get together every two months or so. The last time I saw them was when Kelsey was born, so we had lots to catch up on. Matt has probably heard all of our crazy college stories so many times that he can tell them by now! Liz and Kristen are such wonderful friends and I feel blessed to have them in my life. My dad once told that if in my life I can count five people as true friends, I am blessed. They are definitely amazing friends who hold two of those spots! I mean, when I can teach them Polish and how to polka, I know I found keepers :)

She's Rolling

Well, it is official. Kelsey can now roll over! Here is the video to prove it!

Mommy Got Her Way

On Sunday, Matt went to the Packers/Vikings game at the dome with his brother Nate. The last time the teams played, I dressed Kelsey in a Packer onesie and purple pants to make both of us happy. However, I told Matt that if he went to the game, I was no longer obligated to dress Kelsey in 1/2 purple. So as you can tell from the pictures, she is decked out in green and gold. She was so happy all day. Kelsey even asked me if she could only wear green and gold from now on for games because she liked it so much. How can I say no to that? Sorry Daddy, but I guess Mommy gets her way :) (Obviously Matt was not allowed to proofread this post before I put it up because I think he will be having some words with me later:) GO PACK!

Three Month Pictures

Here are the pictures I promised of Kelsey. Enjoy!

Work, work, work

It seems that Matt and I have been really busy with our masters programs this week. Matt is finishing up one of his classes, so he has a final project to turn in. He is developing a website for the ninth grade academy that he works in at school. It looks really good so far, and he will hopefully be able to post it so parents, teachers, and students can use it. I just started a new class, so I am trying to figure out what is expected of me and how I need to manage my time to get it all done. It is tough when all I really want to do is snuggle with Kelsey.
Kelsey is great! She weighs 12lbs now! Our daycare provider has told us that Kelsey is doing great with her and she loves her already. She hardly sleeps during the day I guess, but Mary said she just smiles and coos all day. I guess she doesn't want to miss anything. She still gets up twice a night, but goes to bed earlier then she did before.
Tonight I had class. Wednesdays are tough for me because I barely get to see Matt or Kelsey. I am always glad when I get home from class because I know the weekend is just around the corner and I am done with class for the week. We just got Kelsey's three month pictures back. I will try to post them on here soon.
