Thankfulness

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we decided to start a new tradition in our house: a Thankful Tree. Ted so graciously cut down a tree branch for our tree and Hayden and Camille decorated it with lights. Then everyone made leaves and wrote what they were thankful for this year. Hayden and Camille also made Rice Krispie Turkeys! We are excited that during this Thanksgiving season we are able to have some time off from our jobs to make it back to Minnesota to visit our families. Happy Thanksgiving! 
Enjoy the pictures from the past week.

November Changes

It's November already! Time is just flying by. The past week has been a busy one for us with the most exciting news that baby Lincoln Daniel Schlaak arrived! He was born early in the morning on November 2. Maybe he will go into politics...  Here is the latest:

• Ted has been working hard at Best Buy and is off to Des Moines for training one day this week.
• Camille attended a conference for continuing education on Therapeutic Listening in Minneapolis on November 5 & 6. It was great to see family while she was there, even though time was limited. The boys had a great time with Grandma Bonnie and Papa Joe and the Schlaak cousins that came with too.
• Hayden is growing! We had to go out shopping to buy him new jeans because he out grew most of his. He has also been busy perfecting his catching and throwing abilities of a football.
• Eli is such a happy little baby. He is testing the boundaries of gravity and attempting to roll over. He also enjoys playing in the exersaucer and sitting in his bumbo seat.

Enjoy the pictures.
