My future Calvin roommate?

Me & Lane Borchert. Laney is about 4 months old...wish she lived in WA so that we could play together! Thanks for letting me chew on your toy! She lives in Michigan...so we only will get to see each other once a year. Our Mommies say that we are going to be roommates at Calvin & play on the soccer team together (just like our Mommies did)...we'll have to see about that one!

Here is the clan minus Sara's twin boys & hubby, Pete. We have such fun together when we are all in town. Good friends!

Me and my cousins!

Here we are together for the first time! Grandma & Grandpa Byeman wanted us in their Christmas picture...don't we look cute in our "ho, ho, ho" outfits? We all did ok with getting lots of pictures taken..but then I got tired of it (& hungry!) and started to cry. I think my cry was kinda contagious because both Lexi & Elisabeth started in on it too. Hopefully they were able to get at least one picture that worked!!

Are we done yet? I am tired of this, Mommy!!

Look at Me!

Here is my latest trick I've mastered! I can't be totally trusted sitting on my own for any length of time because I tend to topple over...but I'm getting better as each day passes. Yeah for me! I like this perspective a whole lot better then laying on the floor. Another new thing I've done in the last week or so is rolled over from my belly to back. I've been able to roll from my back to belly for a couple months..so this is great fun for me. I am mobile!! I've been known to roll around to get my toys on my own...freedom!! Watch out Mommy & Daddy...next up: crawling!

Jaelyn and Elisabeth!

It's "girl power" for the Byeman clan...three granddaughters in the span of 6 months! Here is Elisabeth Anna..Tom & Sarah's little one! Isn't she adorable? She weighed in at a whoppin' 9 lbs 6 oz and was 22 inches long! She's got great pinchin' cheeks!

Jaelyn is starting to give kisses...here she is showing her LOVE to her new cousin! We've still got to work on the technique a bit...but oh so cute!

Jaelyn going in for another one...poor Elisabeth...she couldn't get away from all the slobber! Daddy had to hold back Jaelyn's hands or else they would have been all over Elisabeth.

Our little Pumpkin!

Isn't Jaelyn the cutest pumpkin you have ever seen?! We took Jaelyn to BCRC's "Light up the Night" event. If was fun...but more fun for Marcus & I....thanks to her we got some candy!!

Here are some of her pumpkin friends at church: Emily is 12 days younger than Jaelyn and Levi is Emily's cousin (he's 1 yrs. old).

I'm surprised that she didn't mind having the hat on her head...what a trooper! In a couple years she'll really have fun at this event...lots of stations for crafts & carnival like games...plus a bouncy house to play in!!
