Catching Up...

WARNING!!! Lots of pictures....

First of all, we would like to thank each of you for your kind words of congratulations on our coming baby! We are thrilled with our new blessing. I took the older two with me to the doctor yesterday and Kristyn was so excited to hear the baby's "heartbeep." :)

Here's some pictures of our Christmas'. As always, we had a wonderful time with our families!

Grandpa Schaper. If I remember right, he said he has 84 in his immediate family with (so far) 3 more on the way for this year. Grandma was in the hospital and wasn't able to be at Christmas.

Here are some of the great-grands.

This was at Keith's family Christmas. Grandma got all the kids a "lunch pail" full of picnic stuff, so of course, they all had a picnic the next day. Don't you love the dresses and bonnet?

Megan and Ava!

Getting a ride on Papa's back.

The Schaper gang.

Megan stayed nice and warm wraped in the carrier. She got lots of smiles!

At our Christmas, this is how Kristyn listened to Daddy reading the Christmas story.

Our stocking stuffers, getting ready to open presents. :)

My mom always makes Christmas cookies with all her grands, (the one's that are old enough) and the kids always look forward to it.

Grandpa taking the kids on a "bear hunt." Owen claims they saw a "big one," but he shot it. :)

Elise keeping the littles entertained. By the way, Elise made a 4.0 last semester in college. We are SO proud of her!!!

Tori feeding Owen some of her pretend food. Looks more like a tonsilectomy to me. :)

All of mom and dad's grands. The oldest one is 5 years old and our baby coming will make # 10 in the family. :) They always have a grand time when they're together.

That's it for our pictures. I hope you enjoyed them.
