Catching Up.....

Wow! It's been a crazy six months. I'm finally getting around to updating our blog. I'm going to try to do better in 2009, but as you see it's already the middle of April and this is my first post for the year! We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year celebrating with family and friends. Jake celebrated his 8th birthday at the end of January and Cole celebrated his 11th birthday a week later. Macy celebrated her 7th birthday at the beginning of March. Steve celebrated his birthday this month, too! I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Introducing the newest Sprecher....

Maggie

Maggie is Jake's new dwarf hamster.

He used his Christmas and Birthday money

to get Maggie and all the "stuff" she needs

to be one happy hamster.

Happy Birthday Steve!

As part of Steve's birthday we went on a walk
at a nature reserve close to our house!

It was a beautiful day!

Happy Birthday Macy!

Macy turns 7!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Cole!

Cole's gift from Grandma & Grandpa Sprecher was also inside a puzzle.

Notice: He read the instructions FIRST!

Happy Birthday Jake!

Grandma & Grandpa Sprecher sent Jake's Birthday gift inside a puzzle!

Jake worked and worked and became very frustrated.

Finally he dropped it on the floor and out popped his gift!

Happy 8th Birthday Jake!
