Happy Birthday Lindberg girls!

October 28, 2007 - Our lives were forever changed.

It was Reformation Sunday and James and Noah were finally home from church. I was having breakthrough contractions and needed to call the doctor. My cousins Lezli and her mom were on their way over to how "fat" I was before going in for my scheduled C-section. Little did they know that they were going to be "babysitters" to Noah until my mom and dad got there to take care of Noah. The nurse on call said "Well, you better come into the hospital. Congratulations, you are going to have your babies today!" WOW and that was it. Off we headed to Lincoln.

At 8:30 p.m., Sarah Jane joined our family at 6 lbs. 5 oz. with the chubbiest cheeks and cutest little red spot on her upper lip. Then, a short 60 seconds later, Rachel Ann joined our family at 5 lbs. 9 oz. with her perfectly round head and cute little petite body.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Minnesota vacation pt 2

The girls were not big fans of the boat ride. They barely could see out of the life jackets we bought for them. They did watch when we were fishing out on the lake but did not make a move when the boat was going through the water.

Getting ready to go for our ride.

Fishing

Summer in Minnesota with Lori's side of the family. We had a great week of fishing, riding the pontoon, paddle boating, staying inside during the rain and even had s'mores on the bonfire one night.

Sarah learned how to climb out of her "crib" while in Minnesota and thought she was pretty funny. Just when the adults thought the two smallest of our group were asleep, Sarah would come sashaying out of our bedroom with a very proud smile on her face. She was cute but it got old.

Grandma taught the girls their ABCs one night and they have just continued this summer to get better at singing them.

I'll post a few photos with this blog but also post more with just some captions to go along.

T-Ball with Noah

I thought maybe it was time to finally get some pictures posted from this summer and all our goings on. It was full of t-ball, fishing with Spencer and Tanner, and visiting our California grandma and saying goodbye to James' dad. It was a busy summer but a great summer of family, friends, and fun.

Waiting for his turn to bat.

Noah's first time up to bat.

Safe at first base.

Bringing it home!

Noah was even "featured" in an article in the Omaha World Herald in June right around the time of the College World series. He had a full page picture on the special section. You'll have to ask him about it and see the page when you come to visit.

Guess where Sarah fell asleep last night...

21 month olds and toddler beds don't always mix... It has been interesting, to say the least, the last couple of weeks with Sarah getting acclimated to her new toddler bed.

Rachel, as you can see above goes to sleep still in her crib. She is good for an immediate head on the bed and eyes shut. Sarah, on the other hand, has been known to play in her room for a little while and will fall asleep anywhere. On her bed (which is the preferred place), in front of the girls bedroom door and ... wait for it....

wait for it....

Have you figured it out yet?

Yep, you guessed it under Rachel's bed. She was ingenious though, she used her Dora sheet as a pillow so she didn't have to lay her head on the scratchy carpet. She was out like a light. Don't you wish that sometimes you could just fall asleep wherever you are? I know I do!

blessings,
