Happy Winter!

Just some fun pictures to share. As always Nolan is keeping us busy. He talks non-stop and we can even understand a little bit of what he is saying:) He loves to play with his kitchen, color, play with any kind of remote control or game controller, read books and open up the cupboards to see what kind of goodies he can grab before we catch him. He likes to play with the cat, but he doesn't get too close. When the camera is out he is happy to smile and say cheeeeese and he loves to see his own face on the display after the picture is taken!! We have used Skype to talk family members and he loves to way and say hi to everyone on the computer. He is even learning some good manners...anytime there is food around that Nolan wants, he points and says eeeeeese....until he gets it. Sometimes he will even throw a thank you in after that!

The artist at work!

This was Nolan about 1 play into the Vikings game on Sunday! He knew that the Vikes would take care of things, Dad wasn't so sure.

Fishing with dad and the boys. He liked to play in the minnow bucket.

Nolan got to sled a little bit over Christmas. Nate pulled him and Sara behind the 4 wheeler.

I love this picture!

Santa Claus!

Gearing up for Christmas!

Nolan has been busy helping put up decorations and practicing posing for Christmas pictures. He even got to meet Santa and tell him what he wants for Christmas.

Nolan hasn't been feeling well lately, but he can still bust a move!!

St.Louis

Congratulations Eric and Betsy Van Keulen!!!

Over Thanksgiving weekend we got to travel to St. Louis with all the Van Keulens to join Eric and Betsy in their wedding celebration. We had the chance to tour a little bit of the city and visit with family. Nolan got to stay in Minneota and saw lots of family there. He stayed at Grandpa Dave's and Grandma Jean's, with Uncle Joe and Aunt Kelly and with Grandma and Grandpa Hoffmann.

On Sunday night Nolan was sleeping when we got home. Luckily he woke up not to long after we were there and of course we let him get up and play for a while with his new Budwieser Clydesdale.

Almost the whole Van Keulen crew

We are all settled in at Tim and Vicky's house. Lots of changes over the last couple of weeks! Nate got a new job doing ad sales for the newspaper and our house is sold. Of course, Nolan is keeping us busy as always. He is walking all over and climbing when we let him. He has gotten 6 teeth in the last month and I think more are on the way. He has conversations with us and with himself:) and we all have fun guessing what it is he is trying to say.

This video is just a glimpse of how much fun he is to be around!

Happy Birthday Cindy and Nolan!

We celebrated Nolan's 1st Birthday on Saturday, and Cindy's Birthday on Monday.

Sorry if this takes a little to load, but it is very hard to decide which stuff to edit out because I think everything he does is cute. Enjoy!
