Christmas with the Argos!!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had a great Christmas and we were extremely blessed this year beacause we are now close to famliy. On the 22nd Jason's side of the family were able to come over to our house. We had 18 people ~it was great!

Jason had to be in service for both Christmas eve services so we did not leave for my family's until Christmas morning. It was such a blessing to be able to be here for Christmas eve, but still able to be with family on Christmas! ~Maya even loves Christmas!!!~

~Rowen's first Christmas!!!~

~Jason and I were able to take a walk on my family's property where I grew up while NyNy and Papa watched Rowen. It was so beautiful!~

Hooray for Smiles!

I recently started working as a substitute teacher's aide at our Christian Learning Center (our nursery school at our church). We have 200 2-4 year olds. So, I got a call at 7 in the morning that they needed me to come in. I fed Rowen and Super Daddy took over. I only go in until 11:30, so Jason works from home until then or he brings her into the office with him. I love working at CLC with all the adorable kids, but I miss my little girl when I'm gone. When I got home, Rowen had obviously had such a fun time with her Daddy (Daddy-daughter time as Jason calls it) because this is the smiling baby that I came home to! Hooray for smiles and wonderful Daddy!!!

This Just In....

~Kick those legs!!!~

We are having SO much fun with our little Rowen. We have been busy taking pictures (as you can see), but sadly we lost a lot of pictures because our memory card was damaged. I was devastated (seriously, I almost cried!). So, needless to say,we have been busy trying to catch up. She is changing everyday and we are trying to keep up. Sorry for the delay, but here are more photos to enjoy! Love and Blessings!

More to come....I promise!!!

Hello everyone! I know it has been WAY too long for a post ~ the days are just flying by! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was great ~ we were able to go to Philadelphia to spend it with Jason's side of the family. Mom Mom DeLue made a yummy turkey and Aunt Carolyn put out a delicious spread of food for all 18 of us! The next day we visited with Mom Mom Argo and she got to meet our little Rowen for the first time ( I'm pretty sure it was love at first sight for both of them). We are so blessed to be closer to family!

Before Thanksgiving we were able to spend 5 days in Michigan (a trip that was planned before we even moved!); we had an awesome stay with our "Michigan family". It was so wonderful getting to see everyone and we were able to spend time with some of our dearest friends. Of course we were glad to be able to show Rowen off. We miss you all like crazy and we are so very blessed to have you in our lives!

We love you all and I promise to post more pictures next time!!!

Busy! Busy! Busy!

Hello Friends and Family!

Hope all is well with you. We are doing great. Life is hectic sometimes, but in wonderful ways! We are of course enjoying our precious, ever changing little girl. She is such a wonderful baby! She has slept through the night since she was one week old; the last two mornings we have had to wake her up at 9 am!!! We have heard that this is not the norm. We are so blessed!

Jason is enjoying the hunting season (bow) and has already gotten a deer! I am so glad he is a talented hunter because we do enjoy the meat. He is also VERY busy getting our new youth center ready to open. It is looking great and we are so excited for the big "kick off"! I have been busy with women's Bible studies and starting a "mom's group". It has been a lot of fun and I really enjoy getting to know the wonderful ladies in our church.

We love all of you and you are in our thoughts and prayers everyday. Here are more pictures of our pride and joy!!!

Hello Friends and Family! We thought we would post more pictures of our little angel with some of our family. We are enjoying her so much. She is our little ray of sunshine! Everyday we are amazed at how blessed we are to have her in our lives. She is getting bigger (as little ones do) and is more awake and alert everyday. We can't believe that she is already 4 weeks old! We are just enjoying and relishing this time because we know it will be gone all too fast. We will continue to post more pictures as she grows. Stay tuned!!! Our love to all of you~

...and then there were THREE!!!

Hello everyone!

It has been SO wonderful hearing from you all. We are doing great. I am recovering very quickly and easily and Rowen could not be more precious. Words can not explain how blessed we feel and the love we have for our little girl is indescribable!!! Jason is the most wonderful daddy- helping with every feeding and diaper change. Rowen already has her daddy wrapped around her little finger! We want you all to know how much we have appreciated your prayers and your love. We love you all and we will keep you up on everything going on. To our Michigan family: We can't wait to see you in November!!!

Love to you all,

~~~Nicole
