Hesed gets a tree

A couple weeks before Christmas, the whole Hesed clan (minus Matt and Kristin who are in New Zealand!) went to get a Christmas tree. Here are the pics! Though somehow there are no pics of the actual tree. Oops.

Riding on the wagon out to the trees with Greg and Amelia. It was quite chilly.

Crazy chicken.

Winter weather bundling

Now that winter has come upon Chicago with full force (single digit temps), the time has come for some serious bundling and some serious cuteness to go along with it.

All ready to go out. The super warm pink suit is from grandma and the scarf is made by grandma. Someone wanted to make sure this baby was warm.

Waiting for the train at our pink line California stop. You have to be super bundled to withstand the cold winds at the El stations.

Asleep on the train.

Visiting Christkindlmarket downtown. Satchel was a big hit. Everyone wanted to stop and take a look at the cute bundle strapped to the front of Matt.

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in South Bend at Matt's sister, Michelle, and her husband, Jeff's place and then travelled on to Toledo to see my family. It was a busy weekend, but we had a great time. Here's some photos from the weekend.

Some four month milestones

We have a few more milestones to share now that Satchel is four months old.

Satchel can now finally get her foot in her mouth. She's been working on this for weeks.

First solid foods - rice cereal, bananas, and carrots so far.

Not so sure she likes it.

And........rolling over back to front!

Check out the drool.
