"Engaging" News!

First of all Merry Christmas from Logan & Kari down in Edmonton! We hope your day is wonderful and filled with blessings as we remember the birth of our saviour!
Second, We are engaged! Logan popped the question on December 22 after I (Kari) had a long tiring day at work, so it was perfect timing :) I will be posting the engagement story in a few days. Right now, we are enjoying Christmas day with my family in Edmonton! I have pictures to post and the story to write so it is coming soon! The wedding is going to take place this summer. No specific dates yet, but stay tuned!
Merry Christmas! We Love you all!

Vienna Cuteness

Well, these pictures were just too cute not to steal off facebook and re-post here! These pictures were taken and posted by Olga, Liana's sister. She visited them about a month ago!

Winter!

Just a quick little update on the Brent side of the family :)

Brent is a very busy man with work which is a real blessing for us! He currently has two apprentices, Kaden and Andrea's Burkhart as well as another new Carpenter named Cam that is working as their new finisher. I wish I could say that Winter is a welcomed arrival but when it comes to his job, Brent could definitely do without the cold weather! Hunting this year went well for Brent, we have two deer worth of meat in our freezer as well as some moose from the Tylers. Brent has enjoyed hunting this season but perhaps the most exciting news that he may have is that we now have a quad. This opens a lot more doors for where he can hunt as well as quad dates with his wife!

As for me (Chantelle) I have been very busy with a lot of little things. A lot of trips to and from the doctor's with sicknesses and what-not have been the story of my life lately. Those along with the baby appointments have made the doctors office almost like a second home to Marshall and I. All seems to be well with the baby, I have probably heard the heartbeat 5 times by now, had one ultrasound and another one on the 6th of December. This baby seems to be a lot less active than Marshall which excites us to see who this little one is and what their personality might be like!

Marshall is growing up so fast and will soon be a year and a half. He is talking a lot (most of it just excited babbles) but there are plenty of words in his dictionary, but too many to count. He is a very active boy and short of his sleep times he is rarely sitting still. He loves most people as long as they are not dressed in halloween costumes and that coupled with his social personality makes him a very loveable little boy and a joy to all! Marshall has a special affinity to other children and Grandpa's. Whether we are at church or the doctor's office, it is hard to keep him away from the grey haired men. There is a certain love that Marshall has for his puppies and even though he scares Blue sometimes they love him back. Our boy is getting taller and skinnier and no longer looks like a little boy as much as he looks like a toddler. He is a never ending teether, always having as many as 8 teeth starting to come up at one time, giving him a mouth full of pearly whites. We especially love the little gap in his front teeth it is a very distinctive feature that we love about him.

Bagpiper!

Remember this post? Where Logan had a dream...a dream of learning to play the bagpipes...It's been less than a year, and the dream has come true!! Check out Kari's blog (Kari is Logan's girlfriend...and Chantelle's cousin too!) For the first picture of said bagpipes. Sorry, no underwear this time:-)
