Madeline Grace aka Tinkerbelle

Here are some pictures of the newest Langrehr member, Madeline Grace. She was born on the 27th of December and weighed in at 8.5lbs! Enjoy!

A Langrehr Thanksgiving

I'm not sure how we survived with three Langrehr men in one house....lucky for us there was enough estrogen to counter any male coup attempts that they may have made!

We had a lot of people in the house, Kyle and Aly came up, as well as Pauls parents and my mom and sister....it was crowed but we had a great time.

Kim came over with the beans, not green bean casserole but her famous baked beans, Paul got over that dissapointment as soon as he ate her homemade baked beans, in fact we were fighting over them the next day!

Paul, pre-surgery

Here's Paul pre-surgery. Notice the bent knee? No brace or crutches? (or crunchers as Megan calls them) We'll have those days back soon!

Pregnant Me

I looked at these pictures and I couldn't believe how big I am! It's hard to tell from my angle, looking down...but man am I HUGE! It must be twins..:)

Cutie Pie

Here's Megan in her new outfit from Lori...she wore it church and loved it! Coming soon ( I promise) is a picture of me in all my pregnant splendor...but by the time I remember to have Paul take a picture of me I'm in my pj's.....(which is about 30 seconds after coming home). So I'll have to just remember earlier some day! I"m sure there will be pictures from Thanksgiving.....stay posted!

Delicate procedure

Here's our doctor performing a delicate operation on a sugar cookie, notice how delicatly she holds her instrument? She's a great doctor!

Our own Doctor

After trying on too many princess costumes to count, Megan decieded she wanted to be a doctor for Halloween, she's got to be the cutest one there is!

Megan told me the other day, as she was rubbing my big ole tummy, "Mommmy, I can't wait for Tinkerbelle to get here" she really is so excited and can't wait to share all of her stuff....she tells all her friends at school that her mommy has a baby in her tummy and she's going to be an older sister, it's too cute!

Pauls Surgery

I just wanted to give everyone an update on Pauls surgery.  It went well and he's at home right now resting.  He made it up the stairs but I think it may be a day or two before he makes it back down!
The doctor ended up doing a lot more than he orginally thought and Paul will be doing rehab for at least 7-8 months. I'll keep everyone updated on his progress... take care!

Leaf Raking

Here are some neighborhood kids that Paul talked into "helping" to rake the leafs! They worked really hard, but I'm not sure they did much!

Our Pumpkins

Here is our Pumpkin with our jack o' lanterns, the littlest pumpkin is for Tinkerbelle.....

Apple Picking

We spent most of Sunday at Ricker Hills Farm, it's about 45 minutes north of us. There was a bouncy house, baby farm animals, a kids obstacle course, a corn maze that Megan lead us through and a big sand box full of corn kernnels. And of course, pick your own apples! We picked a bag full of apples, and while we have no clue what kind of apples we got, we made a pie and an apple crisp this am...they also had an apple sling shot to shoot the old apples into the woods. We where so worn out by the end of the day, between my big ole belly and Pauls bad knee, poor Megan has a cold and didn't get a nap that day, but she just kept going!

Goofy Paul

I had to put this one in, Megan took it! Sorry Paul :)~

More Pictures

This was our trip to a local winery up north, we had so much fun that day!

New(er) Pictures

Ok, I've finally gotten the pictures from the camera to the computer.....you'd think it was a hard thing to do, but it's not really, I'm just too lazy to carry the camera all the way UPSTAIRS to the computer to do it... :) Enjoy!

Megan and Paul

Paul had a sleep study this last Sunday, he had to be at the hospital at 9pm. As we were tucking Megan into bed and kissing her goodnight, we decided to tell her that dad wouldn't be there during the night, or maybe even back by the next morning. WRONG MOVE. She was soooo worried about him, it took us about an hour to get her to bed, she had a ton of questions why her dad was sleeping at the hospital, then she wanted to go also, she had decided that she also had problems in her sleep. UGH!! The next morning her and I are getting ready and Paul comes home, he went right up the stairs. Megan had heard something and followed him up, when she first saw him on the stairs you would have thought it was the second coming from the way she acted!!! She would leave his side, and she was dancing and singing all over the house, it was too cute. I'm a bit worried however, that was only 8 hours, what is she going to do when he's gone for two months? She is most decidedly a daddy's girl!!!

Some Possible Names......

Since it is Danielles birthday today, here is one of the only pictures I have of her...Happy Birthday Danielle!

We have a few choices for names for our little one...here they are:

Madeline Elizabeth Langrehr

Keira Elizabeth Langrehr

What do you think?

I know this is over a year old, but I wanted to get a picture up of the kids. We're just not that good when it comes to taking picutres of the kids, we're such bad parents!!

Almost everyday Megan mentions Kyle and Aly, mostly saying how much she misses them, she can't wait for them to come back from "ginia"!

We've got a fence!!!!

Finally! We've got a fence!   I know it seems like such a small thing but I am so happy about it. Paul worked on it all weekend.  He had to dig 4 foot holes to get the posts in and he finished late yesterday afternoon. Now we don't have to walk the dog in the snow and cold. YIPPIE!!!

I'm starting to get the pictures together, I'll try to post some here....when I can figure out how to get them from the kodak easy share....:)

First day away from Megan

OK, I know we may be a bit lame, but Saturday was our first time away from Megan for any length of time. She stayed with a friend all day, Kim and her son Titus, while Paul and I where at a birthing class. She did much better than I did, although it was nice to have a break! When we went to pick her up she cried because she didn't want to go home, we finally convinced her that she needed to come home with us.

This picture was from last summer, notice the jacket worn in June?! Last night and this morning I was tempted to turn on the heat, it's getting that chilly! It hasn't even been a month since we got the air conditioners!

A growing family

Our family is getting bigger by the week! We're going to be welcoming a new Langrehr in January, hopefully Paul will be back from his training in time. I'm 19 weeks along and finally starting to show a bit of a belly. Kyle and Alyssa seemed excited about the idea and we had a lot of fun picking out different names, Megan so far likes Jorge, Hot Lava and Tinkerbell, we'll have to work on that a bit! We found out this past Monday that IT'S A GIRL! While Paul was sort of hoping for a boy (poor Kyle!) we're pretty excited about another girl.
I'll have to get serious about getting all our pictures in order now, we have them all over the place!
