February 2025 (and Margot's baby blessing)

Our bright-eyed Margot!


Cheering Margot on to stand.

Margot wearing an outfit I had made for her cousin the year before. She was not enthused.

Ivy in dance class. That week, she would only do the moves if her teacher was holding her hand.

Margot is starting to make some great faces. 

Grocery shopping with Margot, 6 weeks postpartum. Messy hair, don't care. (Or more accurately, don't have TIME to care)

Margot is such a smiley girl!



Finally wearing their Big Sibling shirts with Margot's "Little Sister" shirt.

Jeff wanted to hold all the kids at the same time before they are too big!


Exciting development: bunk beds for Felix's room! We put it together even though the second mattress had not arrived yet. (We left the ladder off to avoid any mischievous children trying to climb up. Didn't work.)

With the mattresses installed.


And with the cool bedding Felix picked out. It is like a fitted sheet that zips to the comforter. So much easier to make the bed!

Ivy got Felix's old bed, with a long pillow strapped to the bed to keep her from falling out.

The valentines Felix made for his class.



Margot has so much hair!



Margot's "I will fight you" face.


Grandma J and Grandpa Jay were the first guests to arrive in preparation for Margot's baby blessing.








We went to the Blackhawk museum. It has old cars, taxidermy animals, art displays from different countries, etc. It was really cool!















Margot's blessing day!


Ready to head to church.


Ivy playing the piano while waiting for the rest of our guests to arrive.

Margot right before her blessing (Grampa holding her)

Right after her blessing. Jeff held her up Lion King style, but then she puked all over, haha. Typical Margot!

M side of the family



Our family of 6!


Nana and Papa (Margot was not interested in taking pictures)



Grandma J and Grandpa Jay



Peter, Felix, Abram

Ivy and Renee. What beautiful girls!







A few too many missed naps for Ivy.


At Felix's first baseball practice of the year. It was beautiful weather (in February!)


Gramma came up for a day to help out.

Margot is starting to wiggle around from where I set her down!



Felix trying out our neighborhood's new park.

We are so glad so many family members were able to come out to support our family for Margot's baby blessing. I know that we are blessed beyond measure, and that Margot is loved by so many.
