Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. We had fun visiting family and friends in the NW and now are back in Colorado. We enjoyed a white Christmas and got more snow a few days after.

We now have about 12" in our yard.

Zander loves to help out with his shovel as well as wear his snow boot everywhere.

Zander had to wear his snow boots to look at new carpet. Good thing the carpet store was prepared for us with a little football.

That helped a bit to keep him occupied.

2nd Pics of the newest little Shultz All looks good!! Which is excellent news considering that Zander and I slipped down the stairs this morning. All 3 of us are okay. My foot and hip are a bit sore, but I can deal with that. I am glad that Zander and the little one are okay. Please keep us in your prayers!!

Amazing the little one grew 2 - 1/2 cm in the

last 2 weeks.

I am happy that most of my clothes still fit.

Though the cravings of pasta and ice cream aren't helping.

At least it is a good excuse to eat yummy carbs!

Zander started crawling last Wednesday, Dec. 27th.

He is really moving around like crazy now!!

Zander is now after Madison's toys, he likes Madison's toys more than his own. Here we thought we would have to worry about Madison getting Zander's toys...oh no!! Madison is not too sure about Zander taking her toys. They are her's and of course she quickly and quietly sneaks up and gets them back.

Zander did manage to get a toy...Madison came right up to take away.

We really have to keep a keen eye on Zander :) and of course Madison.

Zander is loving all of his Christmas toys.

We are loving his new play yard.
