Back in the Saddle!

I know this is more for me to help my journaling of our lives. I know most people don't do blogs anymore. Things fade in and out so quickly now days. Well, my last entry was a while ago. I got swept away with live and dealing with everything that I didn't take time out for me. Well, I am back. I love writing down our stories. I think it is super important. I am busy with getting things ready for dance competitions and such. Kids are doing great. Ave is now 9, Remi 7, and Riggins is 3. Eric and I have been trying for over 2 years to add another member to our family but we know we are complete as we are and I wouldn't change it. I am so very lucky to have the 3 children I have. I am focused on them. We have been busy doing some remodeling in our home so that has kept us really busy. Eric is busy with Andar and Vasayo and has even traveled to other countries for it. Well, I will keep more posts coming!

Graham Cracker houses

The girls couldn't wait any longer to make these!! Love Christmas time

Christmas Show

Avery and Remi had their dance recital yesterday for Christmas. They were so excited. Carleen and her girls were coming to watch them. They both did amazing and knew their dances better than most girls in their group. Love you two!!!

Tube Time

Remi had to have tubes put in her ears on Dec. 3rd. We had to be there by 7 am. She was really good about the whole thing. She did get spoiled by the staff with blankets, bears, dolls, coloring books, and juice. They brought her back about 20 min. later and she was grumpy and crying. Poor thing. That was expected. She recovered ok. She threw up clear slime as we were walking in the door to our house. She took a nap and then played with Avery like nothing happened.

Big Rigg

I did Riggins Photos and was needing my Mom! But we got some that turned out ok. I love him!!

Carving Time and Halloween

We carved pumpkins before we went in and had Riggins and the girls loved it. They didn't last til Halloween but we still attempted it. And on Halloween night the girls and River had a blast Trick-or-Treating and dressing up. Then we had to get a snap shot of the skeletons in our family :)

Riggins Eric Elggren

Riggins finally has arrived. He was born on the 27th at 7 am and weighed 8 lbs 12 oz. and 21 inches long. I was expecting him to be 10.2 lbs due to the way the girls were. He is absolutely amazing and I consider him my little miracle. He has melted my my heart and I LOVE him dearly. He is great and very mellow. He weighed 7.13 lbs when we left the hospital on the 30th. He loves to sleep and looks just like his Dad and also his sister, Avery a little bit. It has been different with 3 kids but I know it will get better. I have had the baby blues because I miss my parents but thanks to Skype for keeping us close. I love how the missionaries of Sweden call him "Big Rigg" and ask how he is doing. So he are a few pictures.
