OK, trying to catch up on the last part of 2009! Here are the official Halloween pics, taken by my good friend Marian, a budding photographer. It was a TOUGH day for all of us, but we did get a few good ones! Hannah the bee did NOT want to wear her bee hood, and Cole the monkey was about as mad as Cole the froggie, so in the end we went with the pumpkin onesie which was cute also. I think the last pic captures the essence of the kids' feelings about Halloween costumes! HAHA
Jo Jo and James came for a visit a few weeks ago. Jo and Hannah are fast friends, and Jo loves helping out with Cole too!
We found some really cute Halloween costumes at the used baby store in town. Unfortunately, neither of the kids were too excited about wearing them! We are going to have to think of something clever to get them to smile for the pictures. Hmmmm.

We took Cole to the Carlsbad ward for father's day and left Hannah at home with Grandma since it was her naptime. Daddy got a little bike ride in the afternoon, and for dinner we tried out our new favorite Thai restaurant in Oceanside with my mom. The last picture is of Randy on Hannah duty... we took turns chasing her thru the parking lot since she did not want to sit still and eat. Cole, on the other hand, is super at going out to dinner. He is also good at going shopping and pretty much anywhere else we want to take him...he never makes a peep!

Hannah was quite taken with her new baby brother. She met him on his birthday at the hospital. ( We snuck her in after visiting hours were already over and luckily nobody really cared :)
And what a handsome boy he is!! Cole Phillip Burkholz was born June 18th at 2: 25 pm at Palomar Medical Center. I started having contractions about 1 am when I got off work. Of course, I was was up all night not sleeping, so I had time to get ready, take a shower, get my stuff together, did a few pages in Hannah's scrapbook (hehe) and woke Randy up at about 7 am to go to the hospital. When we got there I was about 5-6 cm dialated so we were admitted. From there, everything went pretty smoothly and baby was born without any problems. He was littler than we expected, at 5 lbs, 15 oz! Don't ask me why, I thought he was going to be bigger than Hannah (but apparently it was all my own fat, HA!) Anyway he was healthy and we are so grateful he is here!
We are finally done with the nursery, with a week to spare! LOL Thanks to everyone who helped, including our neighbor Peter and Randy who painted, and my mom who made the curtains. It looks great, if I do say so myself :)
