Well here’s the TURKEY WRAP UP!
I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is gone and over with already. Man this year is flying by it’s hard to believe! Well this Thanksgiving was filled with surprises well one anyways. I got to see my Aunt Sam! I love getting to see her and we don’t get to see her very much so I was VERY excited to see her at Thanksgiving apparently it was a surprise and Stephen was the only one who knew so I was excited to she her and even though we didn’t play any games we had some interesting conversations anyways.
We went to see Tait’s grandparents on Thanksgiving for lunch and it was good to see the family. The house wasn’t too packed this time which was kind of nice most everyone had been their earlier to visit and by the time we got there we were like the “second shift” of people so we didn’t have to move around too much to find seats which were nice! Their house is VERY small so when you go there and you get a seat you don’t move b/c then you won’t be able to sit down again. It’s kind of silly but that’s the way it works. They were excited to see Lehna and she was pretty good for the most part. She would eat a little off the plate and then go and get something off of someone else’s plate she’s definitely a scamp when it comes it eating she would rather pick at your plate then get her own. I guess it takes too much time to sit and eat or something. But she was very shy around the grandparents which I totally expected she just doesn’t know them very well so that’s why. We just don’t get there very often unfortunately we just are usually so busy and it just is hard to get down there. I want to get down there for Christmas we just won’t be able to go on Christmas b/c we will probably be at the Wagner’s then to my grandma’s that evening so we will have to plan for another day for that.
After the Wagner’s we went to my families Thanksgiving in Peru and boy did I eat! I love porgies so I got to eat my FILL of them and let me tell you it was A LOT! Grandma tried a new one which I was NOT brave enough to try it was called sour krout and pork… it sounded gross and I just wasn’t brave enough but everything else was pretty tasty. I love the fruit one’s so I had a lot of them and they go FAST so you have to get them quick. I want to make them for my home but I don’t know if I would do them justice so the only one’s I have tried is when Jackie and I made Pumpkin filled one’s and we put them in oil to fry and they were pretty tasty. We had a good time at Thanksgiving Lehna pretty much played with Tait the whole time she would come up to me on occasion just to make sure I was still around but she would run around and then back and forth. It was pretty cute.
On Friday we went to BINGO and I did get to yell BINGO once. I bingo’ed with someone else so I had to split the money but I bought pull tabs with it… and out of like 50 bucks in pull tabs we had 4 entries and we didn’t win CRAP it was very disappointing. But we had a good time anyways. Then we also went to Birthday Party for Little Tanna she’s now 25… I guess she’s only one year younger then me but still… So then by Sunday I was ready to come home and pick up all the mess at our house. We got home and it wasn’t too bad as far as the mess it has been worse before so it was nice today.
That was pretty much the Turkey Day it was fun we had a good time overall! I can’t wait for Christmas though we are going to go North for New Years so that will be A TON of fun I just can’t wait we always have such a nice time when we go to visit so it will be fun. I didn’t do any Christmas shopping b/c I’m a HUGE slacker to be honest with you. So we will be doing that eventually we will probably do it like two weeks before Christmas. I can’t wait to shop for Lehna I know I will go crazy I mean she’s not even two but I’m going to go nuts I can feel it already. I have been thinking about Tait for Christmas and I really haven’t come up with anything. Tait is also asking me what I what for Christmas and I really haven’t come up with anything as far as what I want I just can’t think of anything. I just can’t think of anything that I am in great need of but I’m sure he’ll come up with some thing great.
Baby B is doing well I am feeling her squirm a lot more which is kind of a strange feeling again. She is more a mover then a kicker which is different then how Lehna was I enjoy feeling her though. She still doesn’t have a name, we are going to have another ultrasound December I just want a confirmation that she is a girl. I think she is but I just want a double check just to make sure. But if she is a girl then I will start buying her a few things I don’t want to go crazy only b/c I have all of Lehna’s clothes to wear but I want her to have a few things that are all hers. Today my boss gave me a work onezie and its super cute! It has the logo on it so it will look cute on her. Especially if she is born with hair to put little bows in her hair with or even on her bald head it will look cute. I just am so curious to see what she’s going to look like I mean I have a feeling she’s going to look a LOT like Lehna b/c Lehna’s features are so “wagnerish” so it will be sweet if she looks like her. Of course she probably will have very different personality traits which will be fun too b/c I know how Lehna is so it will be fun to see how she will react to different things. I wonder if she will be a T.V watcher or if she will not like TV just like Lehna doesn’t it would be very strange to see a totally opposite but I have a feeling with Lehna being the “leader” she will have more fun imitating her sister.
Lehna the other day when I picked her up at daycare the last day before Thanksgiving she was wearing this little Indian headband and it had feathers on it and she was chasing this little boy round around round this table screaming she was just like a little Indian! I can’t believe just how busy this kid is she is always doing something she never spends too much time standing in one place. We can usually get her to sit for a little bit only when she eats but she’s still moving around and never just sitting still doing nothing. I just have never seen a child that was so active before. I don’t know who she is more like as a baby. I don’t know if I was like that according to Tait’s mom Tait was more docile and wasn’t as busy so I don’t know if I was this busy or not. It’s crazy though!
Well that’s my update for today. Nothing too exciting and I didn’t take ONE picture this weekend… why… we’ll I left my camera at home for the weekend and with as much trouble we had just trying to get out of the house I thought that going back to get it just wasn’t worth it. So maybe at Christmas we will have some pictures… maybe… of course I will HAVE to take pictures to capture Lehna ripping open the packages!
Okay that’s it…

Short Week!
Well here is the week/weekend wrap up for this week!
This has been an exciting week for as short as it has been!
This weekend my mom came down from Wisconsin to visit Lehna & Zachary. She spent the day with us and night then went over on Sunday to visit Zach. I think they had a good time together. Lehna was really shy at first when mom first came around but she opened up. But the end of the night mom was wrestling on the floor with her and tickling her belly. We had gone to Pizza Hut on Saturday night and I don’t know if that “fruit drink” is all sugar or what but when we came back Lehna was like a wild child she was running around the table yelling and running into our legs and laughing then she would run into Mom’s it was fun but she was wound up.
Lehna got a new book it’s called ‘If you give a mouse a cookie’ my mom got it for her and as most of you know her favorite book is ‘I Love you through and through’ well Lehna now carries both books around to each of us every night for us to read them to her so I think that’s pretty cute. So Mom the book is a BIG hit she really enjoys it. It’s great it’s one of those books where there are only a few words on the pages so Lehna has the attention span to sit through each page. It’s a cute book if you ever read it I think you would enjoy it.
On Sunday we went to Indy to get our pictures taken. I’m a portrait member (so they wouldn’t have sitting fees) and Jackie and Marcus want to get their pictures taken AND we wanted the kids pictures taken together as well so we all went together to get them done.
We went first and Lehna was not too happy through the picture she was shy around the photographer and was leering of her and they only took 4 pictures total and we did manage to get 2 out of the 4 so that was good. They turned out cute but Lehna wasn’t into it too much I mean what you want for a 2 year old. Marcus, Jackie, and Zach’s pictures were cute too but they only took 4 of them as well and they did get 2 out of them as well which was nice. After the “family pictures” we got the kids together and Lehna was better but she still barely smiled for them. She did the same blank expression on her face. The goofy kid, so as soon as I get those pictures back I will be adding them to the website or at least Jackie will update them for me… won’t you Jackie (you love me right Jackie?).
This week has been pretty exciting even for a short week. Work was kind of slow this week when we hit the holidays I guess we slow down tediously so I don’t have very many job orders or anything to do besides sales calls and let me tell you THOSE SUCK! I’m just bad at them and I get really nervous I’m always afraid the people will start yelling at me or something… I know they won’t but I just get nervous about it. I always have it in my head that they are going to say no but they want us to contact people that we haven’t used us and that just makes me nervous b/c I’m afraid they’ll ask me questions they won’t know. I don’t know it’s kind of funny that I get worried about it but I do…
One really exciting this is our furnace broke on Tuesday night. We were sitting watching TV and we were talking about how drafty our house was like by the windows especially. Well Tait sealed the windows with plastic and it still was cold in the house and during that time I had turned the heat up to 70 degrees. Well after Tait got done sealing the windows he checked the temp again it the temp gage hadn’t moved… big Uht Oh… so we kept watching it until we went to bed and the fan was continuously running like the thing didn’t shut off. Well this has happened before with our furnace and it was a build up around the burner and they had to come out and vacuum it out last time. Well we had to turn the power off to it last night b/c the fan was constantly pushing out cold air and we went to bed with lots of blankets. I have put in a call into a service center and they are supposed to be there today to fix it. So hopefully they will be able to fix it today and not have to worry about it anymore. It’s stressing! I hate that.
So on happier news
So this week we are going to go to Williamsport for Thanksgiving Lunch then Up to Peru for Porgies! I’m VERY excited. It’s going to be a great weekend busy busy but it will be fun I think! We have talked about doing Black Friday but nothing is in stone yet. Tait and I have decided that there really isn’t anything that we need as far as the “special deals” so we may pass it up totally. I don’t know though it’s still very unclear. So we’ll have to see what happens. It’s just too early to make those plans so far this morning.
Baby news.
What’s going on with Baby B? Well I am feeling her kick more and more which is kind of fun. Tait said he did feel her kick the other night while his arm was draped across my tummy. That apparently made her very upset b/c she kicked his arm and he felt the little bump then. So that was fun. We still don’t really have a name we have tossed several around but nothing has really stuck yet. Tait keeps trying to teach Lehna new names that we come up with and I keep telling him to stop since it will confuse her so he said he would. So hopefully something will come in and I’ll really love it. Just nothing yet has really struck my fancy.
Lehna News
She’s still as rotten as ever. Her room is coming along it’s just slowly we still didn’t take the bed out. I’m thinking about getting a single bed for her room only b/c once Baby B is finally born we won’t have any place to put out visitors so we may put the single in Baby B’s room since the baby will be in our room. So I don’t know we will have to work on that problem. Lehna has also started to slowly work her bedtime up 9 p.m she is doing it herself. She is just SOOOOO wound up by the time bedtime rolls around we can usually tell she’s tired though b/c she gets to start throwing fits of little things that’s usually when I notice the time and I go.. .Lehna are you ready to go to bed and she usually goes “no” and I go that’s too bad and she usually runs away from me… it’s a game… Probably not a smart game to play with her but it’s part of the “routine” I KNOW again not a smart game to play but she’s so rotten sometimes but so cute at the same time. It’s a hard battle. She’s pretty cute though I love her. I can’t wait for this weekend she is going to have so much fun planning with all of the relatives. I can’t wait to EAT! LOL the joys of Thanksgiving when your pregnant! I just hope she’s good this weekend there’s nothing worse then a bratty 2 year old. I know I can’t think of anything worse maybe when it’s MY two year old that I want to kill!
Lehna’s hair is STILL in her eyes. I have tried once to get her hair cut but there was like a 45 min wait time so I decided against it. I am planning on getting it done it’s just hard to plan a time that she won’t be wild and trying to think of a place that will “entertain” her. Trying to get this child to sit still is quite a feat! I mean she is the BUSIEST little kid that I have ever seen. She won’t watch TV we have started to get her into SOMETHING and she will tolerate the Wiggles for about 5 mins but if they aren’t dancing then you mind as well forget it b/c that’s all her attention span will handle is just dancing. She really enjoys the dancing… though you can’t tell her to dance b/c if you do she just spins round and round until she falls down and I hate that. I am always fearful she’s going to hit a sharp corner or something like that. Not to be a worry wart but I do worry. Which is kind of interesting b/c the other day Tait took Lehna to the book store and there was book about all the wiggles and she picked it up and was VERY excited about it so Tait got it for her so she does recognize the Wiggles which is kind of fun! At least we can say she’s “sort of” into something… Lehna would much rather be putting on her shoes to go somewhere then watching the TV. Which is kind of nice b/c taking her to the grocery store or shopping is so easy with her. She enjoys watching the people which is nice. You just can’t look at something too long b/c she does start to pull clothes of the hangers and that’s kind of annoying. But she’s a good kid overall. I am very curious to see what type of personality her sister is going to have. I mean if she’s “anything” like Lehna Lord help us all! Lehna is just so busy and always wants to do something which is just so cute. Lehna’s “swing set” fund is growing which is nice. My office has office meetings weekly and there are questions at the end of our “training” and they pass out 1s & 5s and anyone I get I put in her swing set fund. I want to get her one of the nice wooden swing sets so I need like 300 or so to get her a nice one. We also put ALL of our loose change in there and I have two piggy banks going for it. I told Tait one day we are going to count it and it will be like 50,000 which would be nice! LOL
Okay that’s all I got for now I know its exciting isn’t it… I was just looking over what all I typed in and boy did I type a lot but boy it is just crap isn’t it LOL
Anyways
HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!
This has been an exciting week for as short as it has been!

Weekend Wrap Up!
Well I am entering another weekly wrap up on Monday after the weekend. Things have been kind of the same around our house nothing too exciting but that won’t stop me from entering an update… heck no!
This weekend Jackie, Christina, Zach, Lehna, & I all went to the Christmas Hobby show thing at the state fairgrounds on Saturday I have to tell you I was QUITE disappointed. This year we kind of went for a mission we wanted to get these fabulous candles they are seriously the best candles in the world. They smell the house up with just one candle and I have YET to find another candle with that type of power. We got them two years ago and were looking at every store that had candles but there were NONE in site. I was very sad. It was also soooooo crowed. For some reason the first two rows were right on top of each other so if anyone stopped to look at the stuff at the counters then NO ONE either side could get down so you kind of pushed your way down the aisle and didn’t really stop and look at anything. This year there was a BUNCH of booths that were selling like junk a bunch like for example the As Seen on TV items and people doing demos and stuff so that kind of sucked nothing really “Christmassy”. Even the normal “Christmas” items shops like painted wooden things that you can get personalized or just stores to buy Christmas stuff they just weren’t there this year so that was kind of disappointing. I was looking for a bingo shirt for my mother in law and they didn’t even have anything like that. All of the shirt and sweatshirt stores had the same things on them nothing really different. I did get a shirt for Lehna that says “That’s it! Take me to my NANA” which is really cute. It’s really big but its 100% cotton so I got it big so when it shrinks it will fit Lehna! I also got some homemade Toffee that was really good but that was it all I bought.
After the show we went to eat at Olive Garden which was fun. Lehna was pretty good at the restaurant she did decide that she wanted to have a screaming contest there so we quickly wrapped up our meals and left. After that we went to Keystone which there were a TON of people there too we parked at the bank parking lot and tracked our way over there and Christina got new shoes for Kris and Jackie got some outfits for Zach. Lehna didn’t get anything LOL, either did Tait. After that we headed back to Christina’s where Lehna and I left pretty quickly Lehna was exhausted and so was I. Walking around for 8 hours is pretty tough right now and I wore the wrong shoes so that didn’t make it fun either.
After that Lehna slept all the way home and even when we got home she took a LONG nap which was nice b/c I got to relax and have her sleep on me which is really nice. After that Tait and Trent got back from the game. They went to the Illinois vs. Purdue game and Purdue won so that was fun for them. They came home and we just kind of vegged for the rest of the evening.
On Sunday I started doing some laundry and after a whole day later I only have two loads left! I’m pretty excited. I was REALLY behind! And they were slowly taking over my room! So tomorrow we are supposed to have the guy come from Bee windows come out and give us an estimate on new windows. But I think we are going to reschedule it only b/c Tait won’t be home until later on Tuesday and I don’t want to try to contain Lehna and talk windows all at the same time. But that was my weekend… nothing too exciting but it was nice. Both Purdue and the Colts won this weekend so that made the weekend a lot nicer. So that’s all I got for now, thanks for reading about us this weekend!

It's a GIRL!
Yep, that’s right, another Lehna so you’d better just WATCH OUT!
We went to the clinic in Indy on Saturday and this was actually moved up from when we were originally going to go. We were planning on going November 18th and we decided to move the date up a couple of weeks b/c of a scheduling conflict on the 18th so LUCKLY me got to move up the date!
We were of course VERY excited to hear that it was going to be another girl! The lady was fairly certain that it was going to be a girl when we had the ultrasound. We had the 2D ultrasound for the sex and to just see the baby and then when they went in for the 3D 4D ultrasound the baby had managed to flip to her belly and hid her face. So we weren’t able to see the face but we could see her very sweet arms, legs, toes, back, and head but face is going to be a surprise. But as early as we had the ultrasound they said that 3D we probably wouldn’t be able to see much of the face anyway without it looking very alien like so it was okay that we didn’t get to see her face.

We did start tossing around names and we haven’t found anything yet but we are still looking for the perfect name. Tait said with Lehna’s name he knew RIGHT away that this was the name and I had to be convinced after a day and night then I knew it was that right name. Tait has suggested names like Madelyn or Tatium and I have suggested names like Claira or Olivia… but nothing definite yet so we will have to play around with them some more b/c we don’t know yet. As early as it is the chances of us finding something this soon is kind of unlikely so we will just have to call her Lehna’s sister until we can find something that we agree on. I think that we need to get a map book for the United States and name her something out of there b/c al the rest of the rivers in Russia are kind of ugly sounding. So wish us luck in finding the “perfect” name.
We also managed to work in Lehna’s new room this weekend and we got a new dresser from Uncle Stephen so we could add that to the furniture to her room. So thank you Uncle Stephen and also Marcus & Jackie for getting it from Northern Indiana. We are very grateful. So we took out the rest of the furniture except for the bed. I want to have the bed moved out before Thanksgiving. So that’s goal (time frame) so that will be fun. We are going to add some girly things to the wall and we also decided that we want to add the second baby girl to Lehna’s room when both girls are sleeping through the night so that will be fun. Then we can make the current nursery a playroom and get alllllll of the toys out of my living room, which will be FABOULOUS!
So I’m very excited about having another girl it will be fun and I love having Lehna it’s been really fun so far. I am kind of interested to see what type of personality this little girl is going to have I know Lehna can be VERY challenging at times so it will be interesting to see if she will be her clone or her opposite. Lord help us if we have an opposite!
So I know that we are pretty set on girl clothes I will need to go through them again and find all of the clothes that are either too stained and take out. I want to make sure this baby has her “own” clothes to so we will definitely have to get a “few” outfits that will be all hers. So it should be fun.
Well I will end my update for now hopefully we can find the “perfect name” so I’ll keep you updated on the progress of that.
