One Month Old!

Can you believe I'm already a month old?!?!

Time sure does fly when you're having fun. I'm not quite sure how "big" Dallas is...but we go for a check-up a week from today, so we will find out then. He sure is growing though.

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We are headed up to northern Iowa for a wedding. It will be interesting to see how well Dallas does with the "roadtrip".

Until next time...

Friends

Just wanted to share a few new pictures of Mr. Dallas. He seems to be the main focus of all my posts these days, but that's really the main reason for this blog. Our friends Jeremy, Laura, and their boys, Mitchell and Justin, came over tonight for dinner. Laura has been wanting to come see Dallas but hasn't had the chance because her family has been sick. Anywho...they were finally all healthy and able to come meet Dallas. They even brought food! It was delicious...and the best part...I didn't have to cook or wash dishes {Laura even brought paper plates and plastic cups!}.

Alright...pictures...

Big Yawn...

The Miner's made me a baby potato gun...

...just like Dad's ~ only smaller!

Until next time...

Phone Number

It's official...we no longer have a home {land line} phone. We decided to get rid of it because practically everyone is long distance for us...even our friends here in Iowa! Plus, it was costing us about 45-50 dollars a month. Well, that will buy lots of diapers these days.

No fear, you can still call us by using our cell phone number. If you need it, please email me at lovnffa@hotmail.com and I will send it to you. I don't want to post it on here because the whole world would be able to see it.

In other news, Dallas is doing great. He is growing and changing every day. He is becoming more active and can't seem to hold still at times. I think he gets that from Dad! He is beginning to get a routine down, as well. Of course, now that I say that, he will probably be no where near it for the rest of today! For those of you wondering...he has not had a single apnea episode since the night/morning he first had one in the hospital. We do not know {and will probably never know} what caused them.

As far as Doug and I...we are doing well. Doug is able to sleep fairly well through the nights ~ so he is able to function at work. I'm doing really well with recovery from the c-section. I also am getting a fair amount of sleep (but I am able to catch up throughout the day while Dallas naps!).

That's about all the news I have...besides it is snowing again! Oh, well.

Until next time...

Our weekend with the Bergman's

Well, it was another weekend of spoiling for Dallas! But...that's OK...that's what grandparents and aunts are for! Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Josie arrived Friday afternoon with more presents for Dallas.


{I don't think I mentioned all the presents the little guy received the previous weekend...}

One of Grandma Bergman's friends was having a garage sale full of little boy clothes...so she stocked up Dallas's closet for a while!

Those tubs are full of clothes too!

The weather was wonderful Friday and Saturday, so we spent a lot of time outdoors. Dad put his lawn cart together, worked on picking up some of the many limbs from the winter, fixed the piece that fell off the roof (can't remember what it's called), finished taking down the antenna cable from the very top of the house, and finally brought out the corn hole game. I lost count of how many games of corn hole we played! On Saturday, we even got the Oliver out and running!

Sunday, we all made it to church. Dallas was awake the whole mass this week; needless to say, I didn't pay that close of attention to the message. I'll have to work on that. Also on Sunday, Doug and I helped with a service project at church ~ We packaged meals for a program called Outreach Africa. We worked for an hour or so, and it was such a rewarding experience. Doug and I ended our weekend with our last night of bowling. We always love the last night of the season because it is a fun night, where we play different types of bowling games. I even won some prize money! Unfortunately, our team placed last in the league...but we still received some winnings back ~ which we used as beer money to celebrate last night!

Aright...now for pictures...

Saying good-bye this morning

One last thing...Dallas found the coolest invention this morning. It's amazing how it works...why didn't someone think of this before?

Yep, I think I'll call it a thumb!

More Dallas Pictures

Here's some new pictures of Dallas! Sorry it has been awhile, I'll try to be better.


We are in for a fun weekend...Grandma and Grandpa Bergman and Aunt Josie are coming to visit! So...look forward to some more pictures!

Fred loves kissing Dallas.

Waiting for our visitors...
