Happy Holidays!!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. Charlie and a fun first Christmas. Just the look on his face when opening all his presents, and he loved all the lights. He didnt quite comprehend it all but he had a lot of fun playing with the paper or the empty boxes. I told Dustin we should have just got him some boxes and he would have been just as happy. He laughed and said "I know it"
























Also those of you that didnt know, my sister n law and her husband adopted a little girl from Guatamala and they got to bring her home on Dec 16. She is absolutly beautiful and is adapting to her surrounding pretty well. She is already starting to crawl a little and she is 8 months old. Her name is Maria.



We all met them at the airport the day they arrived to welcome little Maria! I am sure she didnt quite know what to think at this point...there were lots of tears of joy shed that night.

Time Flies!!

This month is getting away from me, I cannot believe christmas is in a week and I am not even close to having my shopping done. I dont know about anyone else, but I cannot find the time to do it or get the ambition to fight the crowd. But I am just going to have to do it. This month has been so busy for us...My sister n law Amber just got married on the 9th and that was a great time...then my other sister n law Stephanie and her husband flew to Guatamala on the 10th to get there little girl Maria, and they are flying in tonight(friday at 9pm). We are all meeting them at the airport to welcome little Maria, then having a little get together at there house. I am so excited to actually meet her in person. She is absolutly beautiful. If you are interested in there little journey you can check out there blog spot....richteradoptionjourney.blogspot.com. Then tomorrow we head up to watertown for my grandma's 85th birthday. Then hopefully Sunday we can relax a little bit. I suppose I better try and get our christmas cards out to, life just never slows down at the Sejnoha house. Charlie is getting big of course, loving daycare, he is just a bundle of fun and smiles. I dont think there is ever a time he is not smiling, unless he is hungry, dirty or tired.

Happy Holidays!!

Christmas Eve!!!

Dustin and I got a call the other day from our church wanting to use Charlie in the Christmas Eve Morning Service's Play. So Charlie is going to be Jesus and Dustin and I are Mary and Joseph. I am actually pretty excited, those of you that know me know that I am not much for being in front of crowds, but it is a great oppourtunity for Charlie. Dustin's exact words were, "well as long as I dont have to speak :) " We are so much alike when it comes to stuff like that. But it is not a speaking part, but we are the main characters of the play. The lady that had called us made the comment of Charlie being to engaging to watch, which made me feel like a very proud mommy.

Sorry I have not posted in a while...life has been very busy for us. My sister n law gets married this weekend. We are all very excited, it is going to be alot of fun. I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. We sure did. LOTS of food. I have finally started christmas shopping and surprisingly we are almost done. I just dread going to the mall these days, because it is so busy and impossible to even find a parking spot that isnt 5 miles away :). We did get our christmas tree up but not decorated yet. I have to get all that stuff drug out yet. Dustin and I are so excited to have our first christmas with Charlie. He is going to be spoiled I have a feeling. Nothing wrong with that, right? Those of you that didnt know we are finishing our basement and only have carpet left and Dustin promised me by christmas it would be done, and he is doing a really good job. It is going to look Great when it is all done. Dustin has already planned on having a super bowl party at our house, he is just so excited to have it done to.

Well here are a few pics from Thanksgiving and some of Charlie






















Hailey just loves her little cousin, she is always wanting to hold him whenever we see them. She is always letting everyone know, "this is my cousin Chowlie" it is so cute. He is getting to be so much fun, he is always smiling and is starting to sit up all on his own now. He is really getting strong.
