Hi Everybody! We've had an eventful last week or so. Christmas was a lot of fun this year. Elke was very excited about Santa, reindeer, cookies, and presents. Maggie also celebrated her 32nd birthday and hit the "full term" mark. We, minus Elke, stayed up to ring in the new year and Elke's 2nd birthday. Elke helped make her cake with Dad and really enjoyed eating it too. She also loved opening and playing with her gifts...although with Christmas and all of the birthdays, she seems to think everyday should include presents now. Thank you all so much for the generous gifts! The first slideshow is pretty much Christmas. The second slideshow is of her birthday. Can you believe she's TWO!?

November and Most of December 2009

We had a nice Thanksgiving with Papa and Grandma. We're all home on winter break right now (yeah!). The new addition is still due on January 15th (8am). We are all excited and curious about how things will change around here. Hope all is well.

October and Elke's Exciting Halloween

Sorry it's been so long since our last post. We've all been really busy with school. Elke's getting smarter every day, and Maggie's getting larger! Here are some pictures going all the way back to Dustin's birthday. Also, a few of you have asked what we need. We put some ideas on our old registry---they're just ideas. We're not picky! Here's a link if you want to look.Babies"R"Us - Sander Registry

Fall!

Hello All, Here are the newest Elke pictures--there's even one of Maggie's growing belly. Things are going well here--school's in full swing, the baby's kicking like crazy, Elke's getting smarter every day. Enjoy the pictures!

Cousin

Welcome baby Callista! Mack and B.B.'s little girl was born September 15th.

Hanging on to Summer

Here are some pictures from August and September. Elke's doing really well. She doesn't scream and cry when we drop her off at her new daycare anymore, which is nice! We've all been a little under the weather with "school's back in session" coughs, etc. Other than that, we are enjoying the weather on the weekends, feeling Elke's sister move around in mom's belly (notice the belly in the swimsuit pic.), and doing as little as possible whenever possible! Hope all is well with everyone!

The New Addition

As most of you know, we are expecting another "Little Sander" this January 15th or so. Sorry Elke; sharing this blog is only the first bit of sharing you're going to have to do. Anyhow, below is a video from today's ultrasound. Everything looks good so far. And by the way, the doc says she's most likely a Girl!
