Kyler -- Week 6 (12/24/11-12/30/11)

I'm continuing to catch up on Kyler and pictures! His sixth week was a really busy week. We celebrated Christmas together as a family of four (including Duncan) in Bourbonnais and enjoyed just laying low and watching Christmas movies. Kyler had his first long road trip out to Princeton on the 26th to visit the Bebej side of the family, and then he made an even longer trip to Jenison to visit the Wiersum side of the family, where we stayed until January 2nd. Kyler also got to visit with Great Grandma Linda and Great Grandpa Tony, who came to visit us in Bourbonnais between those trips. Here are some more photos and a video.

Kyler -- Week 5 (12/17/11-12/23/11)

So it has been a long time since we have updated our blog--over a month actually! There has been a lot going on in our lives with the holidays, a newborn, and other things, so now I am finally trying to get a little more organized in the New Year by posting pictures and videos of each week since Kyler was born. Right now, Kyler is actually already over 10 weeks old, but I wanted to share some highlights of the past five weeks as well. During that week, Ryan was finally able to finish up his first semester at Olivet, enabling him to spend a little more time with his little boy. Here are a few photos and a video.

Duncan loves his brother and seems to follow him everywhere. Just wait until Kyler can give him food!

All bundled up to go outside for a walk. The weather was freakishly warm for December!
