Sanne's birthday


New favorite picture! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the birthday girl! It was a fun party...starting at the Swedish Museum followed by ice cream across the street and a book exchange instead of gifts. So fun!


Do you think these boys love their little brother? They pulled these chairs out of the closet to sit and watch Emmett playing in his exersaucer.

4 months old!



Yes, it is true, this sweet little boy is already four months old! We all love him so much and are so thankful he is such a sweet, smiley boy. At his four month checkup he had to get two shots and was no too happy about that. Here are his stats:

13 pounds 4 ounces
25.25 inches long
17.25 head circumference

Love.

Everyone always asks me what Caleb and Jackson think of Emmett. They are completely in love with him, always taking care of him and always proud of him. Today I found them like this. We feel so blessed to have these three boys and pray that they will always be friends.

Matt and Beth's wedding

On the day of the wedding we all enjoyed lunch together. Gwen, Caleb, Jackson and Sanne eating lunch before the "attempted" naps. I think just Jackson and Sanne napped.

At the wedding.

Matt

Beth and her dad.

The happy couple at the reception.

Miss Kris got Emmett to take a nap, but he woke up just in time for his first dance..."Dancing Queen!"

I think this picture is hilarious! Doesn't Caleb look so funny and unsure about Sanne holding his hands?

Here is our attempt at a family picture.

Michigan

On Wednesday night we packed the car and drove to Portage Lake Bible Camp for Matt and Beth's wedding. We got in late but missed all the snow, so it was worth it. On Friday Erik took the boys to a sledding hill. They loved it, of course.

There were huge icicles everywhere.

At the rehearsal dinner with Uncle Scotty and Uncle Dave.

Emmett took a little nap...so sweet.

Emmett

Emmett is loving the exersaucer these days.

For those of you that know my children, you know they have all been spitters...here's the proof!

Emmett took a 2 hour nap on Sam's shoulder! Thanks Sam!

Heading to the dining hall in the new sled. (Emmett didn't really ride like that, strictly for the picture)

Christmas Camp 2009

We left for Christmas Camp a day late because Erik was not feeling well. We got there in time for dinner on the 28th. Guess who wanted to hold Emmett first?

After breakfast we went right to the sledding hill...Caleb still loves this sled the best!

Emmett and I played inside while the bigger boys went sledding. Crazy to think that next year he will be walking around and playing with his brothers.


This tube was a Christmas present for Emmett! My mom heard us talking about this tube from LLBean and just knew that Emmett would love it...someday. For now Caleb, Jackson and Erik are making good use of it.


Mei was really excited to help out and be around me and Emmett this week. I think she felt comfortable with me because there were so many people that she didn't know. It was so fun to talk with her and get to know her more. She is such a funny girl! We are so glad you are part of our family now.

Merry Christmas from the Strom boys!

Christmas Day

I know his eyes are kinda scary but I had to post a picture of him with his stocking!

Christmas morning we opened more presents and then headed to Nana and Papa's for breakfast and even more presents! We are all so spoiled.




Emmett's first Christmas

The boys got a lot of new train stuff!

Emmett got his very own chair...although he doesn't look to thrilled about it.

I think this is Erik's last picture until up at Christmas camp...right before dinner he got really sick with the flu and spent the rest of the evening in the basement, freezing and feeling like he was going to throw up. Poor guy.

GG and Great Grandpa

The boys were so excited about their McQueen pjs.



All tired out from an exciting first Christmas!
