What to do?

Well, this blog has not been updated for some time now and there is a good reason for it. Three Staneks has now become four Staneks! Madeleine Rachel Stanek was born on April 23rd at 8:11 p.m. She weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 19.5 inches long. Timothy loves being a big brother and Madeleine is a great baby.

So here is the question...should we keep the same blog name or get a new one? We haven't decided yet. Stephanie's Facebook page is being updated regularly with pictures of both kids - Timothy and Madeleine. If you don't have a Facebook profile now would be a great time. We don't mean to neglect the blog, but it is MUCH easier to post pictures on Facebook.
That's where things stand right now, sorry to leave people in limbo.

Hope you enjoy the picture of the happy big brother and baby sister!

February 2009

Sorry for the delay, but this one will be a long one for you. Lots of pictures to keep you up to date!

The first series of pictures is from Christmas morning.

Here is Timothy playing with his new kitchen playset. He loves to pretend, especially when he can imitate us and what we're doing.

Opening presents. He still loves his Thomas the Tank Engine book - he goes to bed with it now!

New bib and special hat from Uncle Jeremie.

Uncle Ian is helping!

Hanging out with Grandmaman Danielle! Timmy still asks for her, and then tells us that she is bye-bye. He still asks for Uncle Huff and Ian too!

Silly time with Mommy!

At the Henry Doorly Zoo with Mommy and Daddy. Unfortunately Sean and I both got the stomach flu and had to cut the day short.

This is lion that looked at Timmy like a yummy snack...

Now for February. Timothy has now given up the pacifier. Sean is home in the mornings to help out (and it is a huge help!) and Timmy is not so rushed. Here he is goofing around instead of getting dressed.

New hangout place... in the ottoman!

Leo also received a gift for Christmas. Silly Timothy keeps trying to climb into it. Unfortunately, he doesn't fit and usually ends up yelling, "Mommy, stuck!"

We finally got a snow day!


On February 13th, we finally had enough snow to call school off. It was great because it was also the first time Timothy has really played in the snow. It was just too cold after every other snow fall. We put his snow pants, boots and mittens on him and off he went! Or actually, didn't go. He didn't know what to do in the snow at first but helped Sean shovel and bit. I took him out into the snow and sat him down and he still was not sure what to thing. We took him out again the next day and he had a great time. Hopefully we'll get another opportunity before the season is over.
