Big Daddy and the Gang: December 2011
http://markandkarenfreeman.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Big Daddy and the Gang. Sunday, December 11, 2011. Catch up - Halloween, and newly crawling! This lovely outfit evolved over time. Started with the tank top, then lost the pants, but added flip flops, too-small-of-hat, and the attractive dog chain :) Perfect outfit for playing outside in the dirt. We tried a potty party to help her get the idea of using the potty. Hasn't been too successful yet. Mark is almost done with school. Yay! Forget taking the shirt all the way off, just take it up to make a hat.

Big Daddy and the Gang: October 2011
http://markandkarenfreeman.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Big Daddy and the Gang. Sunday, October 16, 2011. Another post in the same month. . . this is amazing. This is a rare thing, that I actually post twice in one month. I guess that's what happens when I have a quiet Sunday afternoon. Should be taking a nap instead . . . There is a media push in the Phoenix area from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the "I'm a Mormon" campaign. We've seen a few TV commercials and billboards. I submitted my profile to www.mormon.org. Finally it is Fall&...

Big Daddy and the Gang: April 2011
http://markandkarenfreeman.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Big Daddy and the Gang. Friday, April 29, 2011. Spring update; lots about me and Makayla. It does a much better job than the old one. Thank goodness. Then she moved on to eating the rest of mine, using my fork. She loves to play with Bosco. She has no fear of him. I think he is probably nervous about her, because she will run up to him, hug him, or if he is laying down, she will sit next to him and lean up against him. Here's a video of her playing outside with him. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Us: Mark, ...

Big Daddy and the Gang: August 2010
http://markandkarenfreeman.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Big Daddy and the Gang. Monday, August 16, 2010. The true and natural hCG diet. I've lost about 10 pounds. I call it the true and natural hCG diet. Some people use the hCG drug to lose weight, but for me, it begins with pregnancy, then the natural hCG hormone surge causes nausea, vomiting, and thus weight loss. We're excited about another baby, but hoping that the sickness (and irritability, grumpiness, etc) passes soon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Makayla likes to tell people "...

Big Daddy and the Gang: February 2011
http://markandkarenfreeman.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Big Daddy and the Gang. Friday, February 4, 2011. Here is a picture of me and Mark just before the c/section. Brynn had a nice strong cry. Not sure who the man in glasses is . . . someone to check the baby. This is a strange angle on the picture, but it is my first opportunity to kiss Brynn. Later in the hospital when Makayla was able to meet Brynn. A few pictures of Brynn with her eyes open. Her eyes look somewhat dark blue to me, and her hair is brown. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). We hired a company cal...

http://markandkarenfreeman.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Big Daddy and the Gang. Monday, December 13, 2010. Makayla started taking a few steps a month or so ago, and now for about 2 weeks, she is preferring to walk rather than the butt scoot that she's been doing for about 6 months. She's also talking a little more; you can hear some of her animal sounds in the video. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Brynn: mama, mama, mama. Karen: ooohh. mama, mama, mama. Makayla: No, dada. We hired a company called 2 Amigos landscaping to do some work ar...

Big Daddy and the Gang. Monday, August 22, 2011. Brynn in the bumbo. Makayla and poor Brynn in this double stroller. I was allowed to change my work schedule from 4 shorter days to 3 longer days, and the same amount of work per week! I'm very excited because it means one less day commuting, one less day for babysitting, although the days when I do work will be longer days. Brynn sitting alone at 6 months. First cereal with a spoon, what a mess :). Sitting alone at 6 months, so photogenic. For Hannah's bi...

Big Daddy and the Gang: March 2011
http://markandkarenfreeman.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Big Daddy and the Gang. Sunday, March 27, 2011. We've had a fun and exciting month. On the 11th we took a road trip to St. George, UT. The girls live there with their mom. Ashlyn decided to be baptized and wanted her dad to do it. She had a special baptismal service as the only person to be baptized. She looked beautiful. We are very proud of her. Her dad gave her a special blessing. Here is Hannah holding Brynn for the first time. This is us with my parents. Here we are with Grandma and Grandpa Avey.

Big Daddy and the Gang: January 2010
http://markandkarenfreeman.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Big Daddy and the Gang. Sunday, January 10, 2010. Time to catch up with lots of news and pictures. I finally just pulled my pictures off the camera, and so I'll share a few to help tell our story. Here's Makayla's first Halloween. Cute blue eyes with bathtime. This is when you know you should have put the seat belt on the baby . . . (she's sleeping, laying sideways in the swing). Thanksgiving at Aspen Grove in Provo Canyon, Utah, with my entire family. We had about 40 people for Thanksgiving dinner.
