I am so proud of myself! I have successfully edited and posted a video, and I bet I can do it again!
I am writing this in such a peaceful setting...yes I am still at home! The snow is falling outside, Isaiah is napping and Brielle and Steve are snoring in the chair. All I can say is life is good!
Isaiah is amazing us everyday with the information that he retains. He can now say up to 5 word sentences. The favorite around here is, "Hey Dad/Mom, What you doing?". He comes up with some real funny stuff. He finger painted for the first time this week, with real paint. (previously he used pudding) He also just got a new train table. It keeps him busy, but he still prefers playing with Mom or Dad verses by himself.
Brielle is getting so big! She is blowing raspberries, sitting up tall, and grabbing toys and hair. I can't believe that she will be 4 months old next week!!! She is now the same age Isaiah was when we started giving him cereal. I am just amazed at how much faster it is going this time around! I think Brielle could handle cereal, but there isn't a reason to start, so we will probably just wait a few more weeks.
Steve and I are the same as always. I try to keep the house clean, laundry done and people fed. I have continued to hold monthly scrap booking nights and attend monthly MOPS meetings.
Steve is starting a new bible study on Sunday mornings, as well as Family Fun Nights, and a Young Adult Ministry. He is busy as usual.
Last week we took a quick day trip to MN to celebrate my Dad's birthday. It was SO nice and fun to all be together again! My Dad is loving being home and loves his new home health nurses. He continues with physical therapy and exercises at home too.
Here is a video of Brielle making raspberries. She usually makes them when she is getting mad.

Update Time
Well, again it has been too long between posts. I will probably go overboard with this one, so get ready and settle in for a long one!
Brielle has been growing SO fast. She now grabs hair and some toys, and she never stops moving. She is also so expressive through her voice, smiles, and eyes. It is so much fun watching her.
Isaiah is becoming a great big brother. He loves to help change her diaper, give her her nuk, give her kisses, play with her, and just today he told her that he loved her. It is so fun to watch their relationship. Brielle just smiles when she sees him.
Isaiah also loves to run, as usual. He loves to sing too. The hot songs this week are the ABC's and Jesus Loves Me. I love to listen to his sweet little voice.
He just had his 2 year Dr. appointment, and is growing "normally". He is right in the middle of the charts for his height and weight.
Steve and I are the same as always. We are looking forward to starting a new Family Ministry, and Young Adult Ministry (YAM) at the church. We also are starting to do all of the grown up things like looking at retirement, wills and all that "fun" stuff.
I have been tring to upload more videos, but I have failed, so I think that I may just give up! It must have been a fluke the first time! I hope you all can settle for some pictures.

So Confident
So I guess I was feeling a little too confident about my skills. I have tried too many times to upload the video of Brielle. I actually think that it may be a bad piece of video. I know what your thinking.....sure that's what they all say! But I tried to edit the video, which may have screwed it up. Have no fear, I will try again. Meanwhile I have added a few pictures of our growing little girl.
Brielle was just at her 2 month check up today, and she is 12 lbs 10 oz, which is the 74% for her age. She is also 25 inches long, which is 98% for her age. In fact when the nurse entered 25 inches into the computer, the computer asked if she really meant to do that?! It is fun and interesting to compare the two kids. Isaiah was 10 lbs 11 oz and 22 7/8 inches at his 2 month appointment. She is growing and really social right now.
Isaiah is as busy as ever! He has started showing interest in picking up Brielle, which only gives me minor heart attacks. Thank goodness he usually announces it before he touches her. Lately he has really started singing songs on his own and with us. The most precious one he sings and signs is Jesus Loves Me. I melt every time he starts singing. Since he has turned 2, he has also been playing my himself a lot more. He still does like to play with cars, kick the soccer ball, and throw the football, which I think may make us some money someday. As one of his shirts say, "Future QB".
Steve is even more busy than Isaiah, well a close second. He has had many meetings, funerals, and even his first wedding (that he officiated). We hope that it will slow down soon, the kids miss their Daddy. Oh yeah, I miss my husband too!
I, Calie, started my own business as a Creative Memories Consultant. I have been busy trying to get some clients and get some scrapbooking done. I had one party last week, another party and a scrapbooking night all next week. But I am free all of February wink, wink.
Well nap time is going too quickly as always. Hope you enjoyed the update. Feel free to leave us a message to the right of this post.

Brielle's Pictures
During a recent conversation with G, I realized that I have not posted any pictures of Brielle. Here are a few taken each Tuesday, which was the day of the week that she was born on.
Isaiah's birthday gift
This is my first attempt to post a video, so I hope that it works. Isaiah got a 6 foot by 6 foot bounce house for his birthday from his Grandma and Grandpa Seitzer. He loves to jump, and wants to spend all of his time in the basement.
Enjoy the video!
Enjoy the video!
