Hi All,

Sorry it's been awhile since I last updated the blog. Life sure gets busy at home with a new little one. Abram is growing and changing every day. Yesterday for the first time he saw him self in the mirror and he stayed focused on himself for about 10 minutes. It was really precious to hear him cooing at himself.

Last Friday, Kodi had his first wrestling meet and he did a wonderful job. Matt, Abram and I drove up to Cedarburg to cheer him on. Both Kodi and Eden are doing well, aside from a minor cold right now. I am hoping that Abe won't get their cold, hopefully the antibodies in my milk will be strong enough :). Kodi and Eden both still adore their little brother and it is so sweet to watch the affection they show him.

We have been blessed with a number of visitors (friends and family) that I am having trouble keeping up with photos from various visits. Let's see here....last weekend Sarah (my sister) and Ed (her husband) came to town for the weekend and had fun bonding with Abram. On Valentine's Day, Ed and Matt cooked steaks and they were the best home cooked steaks that Matt and I have ever eaten....we will now only cook our steaks at home a la Ed.

On Sunday, our brother-in-law, Uncle Bob, stopped by for a visit with little Abram. Now all the family has now met little AJ.

Then on Monday, Abram and I took a little venture out of the house to Nana Barb and Grandpa Jim's house for a little lunch date. Nana graciously made us lunch while we chatted and relaxed together.

On Tuesday, Abram and I went to a mom's chat at St. Joseph's hospital - a new mom's support group. This week we focused on playing...Abe slept the whole time, but I enjoyed getting out of the house for some socialization with other new moms.

My mom came to town yesterday evening and will be in town for the next week bonding with Abram. Matt heads to Minneapolis tomorrow for work and will be gone until Sunday. Hopefully Abram will not grow too much while he is gone :D.

I hope you all have a great week! I'll try to update again sometime soon.

:) Beth and Abram
