Let it snow let it snow let it snow.

Getting in the snow suit.


Outside in the snow - lots of fun, though not too sure what to do with it...

NO!

I think she means yes...

Cold bbbrrrrrrrrr

It has been so unbelievably cold here for weeks on end - the result is some of the Chesapeake freezing over. Which is pretty amazing to see. But on the days that it is just cold but not windy we go outside for the 'fresh' air and Kate just loves to walk around outside.

Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yey! for those who do not know as yet we are expecting again! We are due on the 7th of June, (Oma's Birthday so who knows... ;) We are both very excited and can not wait. So far the pregnancy has been easy on me, so that has been a real blessing.
I am also already showing so Kate is tapping my belly, we are trying to teach her to say 'baby' the joke will be on us when she thinks the word for belly is baby and does it to Caleb...
But hey it is all part of the fun.
Here are a few scans that we received, she put it in 3D for me so that was really cool to see. The top photo is a normal scan and the rest were the 3D ones.
The baby is developing well and everything points to a healthy baby.

Dancing Kate

Kate has been a bit sick this week but she is on the mend, thankfully, finally starting to eat again and perk up to her little self again.
She is even up to dancing as seen below, though still also very sensitive when it is close to bed time...

Christmas

We had a really great Christmas, it was just the 3 of us, which was awesome and just what we wanted - to spend it together. so that was the best gift we got.

Christmas morning unwrapping presents.


Kate in her party dress for the Christmas eve service - very cute! She loved the statues, maybe because they were the same height...


Here is a very proud great Grandpa with his 3 great grandchildren, there are also 3 more on the way so the family just keeps on growing.


Here is Kate and June playing, for some reason Kate really liked baby Ethan's swing seat - she spent some time playing in there, I also want to say a big thank you to June, she was awesome with Kate and helped a lot by playing with her and keeping her happy while we were in Ohio. Your awesome June!


Well that was our holiday time, we just want to wish everyone an awesome new year full of surprises - the good ones...
love you guys
the Clemens Clan.

June Elizabeth Babbitt

Last week on the 28th of December Grandma passed away.

Grandma was an amazing person to know, and for the short time that I did know her I can only say the honor was all mine. She was much loved and will be very much missed by all her family and friends.

I just wanted to add the poem that Grandpa wrote for her...

To June, My blessing

I recall meeting this wonderful person and it was you.
I treasure the time we spent getting to know each other.
You were in charge but you made me think I was.
You helped me become a better person then I ever thought I could be.
You taught me the meaning of what life is all about.
I will miss you every second of every day of the rest of my life.

Love,
Oscar
