WARNING: Picture Crazy

I went a little picture crazy yesterday and today and found myself having a hard time choosing which ones to put on the blog. When all else fails, put them all on! That is my motto. So here goes:

This is how Chandler looked most of the time we saw him. He sure is adorable even when he is sleeping.

Steve holding Fisher who is holding Chandler who is being supported by Katrina....got that??

Chandler has a ways to go before he catches up with Fisher's gut. Fisher loved touching the baby.

The first two grandchildren for Rick & Nancy Lund...I expect there will be plenty more to come.

Steve adjusting Chandler's position. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it is so neat seeing my brother as a dad.

I think this is a sweet little picture of Mom and Baby. It also has a good view of Chandler's face and all of his dark hair!

"Uncle Todd" and Chandler

"Aunt Meagan" with her favorite nephew thus far.

The dads and their boys.

Fisher's day

Fisher has had a busy week between spending a four day weekend in Cincinnati to meeting his new cousin in West Lafayette. He has been going to bed late, skipping naps, receiving lots and lots of attention from extended family and having a great time doing it.


He had fun playing with Katrina on her bed at the hospital. Here he is shown playing with her straw which he had more fun chewing on than sucking.

Here he is trying and being quite successful at putting a golf ball into his mouth. He found the basket full of balls that Steve & Katrina have collected and was in total and complete bliss.

Yet another fun toy that he discovered...Katrina's little massager became a teething toy for the boy.

Walking around with Katrina. He took quite a few steps by himself yesterday and today.

Life as Fisher has known it over the last week driving between Louisville, KY, Cincinnati, OH, and West Lafayette, IN.

Fisher and baby Chandler

I knew there was a reason that I learned how to do YouTube the other day! The only problem is that I can only get 12 out of the 40 seconds to work....hmmmmmm...I will have to "learn" a little more on how to use it.
Here is the link where you can try to watch the whole thing.

Baby Chandler "Finn" Martel Lund is here!

Todd and I are finally an aunt & uncle! Katrina and Steve had their baby today at 4:29 PM. (Well, Katrina did the dirty work while Steve was a supportive husband.) We were lucky to be only 3 hours away and so we drove up to see the new baby. He is adorable!!

This is a good shot of his hair.

Katrina and Chandler. I wanted to be careful not to post a picture that she would not like. Hopefully this one is okay, Katrina! She looked great for having just had a baby. Make-up, earrings...you would never know she had just given birth WITHOUT any pain meds...what a woman!

My big brother a daddy...I love it! It was cute seeing how gentle and tender he was with him. Not two words I would have used to describe him when I think back to how he would hide my blankie, stack brooms and mops (and anything else he could get his hands on) up against the slider bathroom door while I was in there and let's not forget him hiding behind every dark corner possible late at night to jump out and scare me...Who would have ever thought that "gentle and tender" would be a part of him?? :)

Chandler after being un-swaddled. He continued to sleep.

Fisher and Todd after we had just arrived.

Todd holding our "baby" who is not looking so little next to Chandler, who I could not wait to get my hands on! It was like holding a doll.

Fisher looking at Chandler and Steve. He loved the baby and kept wanting to touch him.

Steve already posted this picture to their site but I really liked it and wanted it on ours as well :)

Thanksgiving in Cincinnati

We spent Thanksgiving with Todd's family in Cincinnati this year. Fisher had quite a few "firsts" over the four days. It was his first Thanksgiving, for starters. He went bowling for the first time, went on a merry-go-round for the first time, and took his first steps!

Fisher getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner!

Sitting on his new toy for the first time.

Grandpa Church showing Fisher the telephone that goes with the car. It is actually called a Chatter Telephone. He should know exactly what to do with a phone since he sees his mom talking to Grandma Lund on the phone about five times a day....maybe a slight exaggeration....just maybe.

Daddy helping Fisher get started on pushing. After a few tries of pushing his toy around we took it away and he took three or four steps! Yeah!

Fisher and Todd hanging out at the bowling alley. There was a girl of about 16 who was smoking right next to us and kept blowing smoke right in Fisher's direction. I felt like grabbing the cigarette and throwing it in her face, telling her she was NOT cool and she was way too young to be smoking but instead held my tongue. Fisher was really good even though he was really tired.

Not the most flattering of me but it was the best I had from the weekend. My mother-in-law got a great one of me bowling with my backside being the only thing you saw....thanks a lot! This one was slightly more appealing.

Todd celebrating me kicking his booty at bowling.

Grandma Church feeding the boy.

Loves to clap. He spent the whole weekend clapping, waving "bye bye," and doing laps on his Chatter Telephone Car.

Finally some new Fisher pictures!

We've been slacking on updating our site. Here are some more Fisher moments.

Eating his favorite yougurt in his "Baby's First Christmas" bib.

He is training to be a scholar like his daddy.

His idea of working out on the elliptical.

Trying to grab the camera.

Mohawk. It is almost time for his first trim.

Thought I would give YouTube a try...

Most of you have seen this video already but I had to pick one to be the guinea pig. Ignore the mess... I was making my invitations.

Apartment Chapter 4: Christmas Tree Decorating Kentucky Style...

Todd and I are counting down the days until we can move out of our apartment. We recently inherited some new neighbors. I won't say much about them except that Todd was thinking about calling the immigration services one night when they were being loud and obnoxious.
So one night when I was up by myself it was about 12:30 or 1:00 in the morning and these particular neighbors were out in the hall being soooo loud, saying things I couldn't understand (hence the immigration services threat) and I decided I had had it. I went out only to find four guys trying to move the most gigantic TV I have ever seen inside and up the stairs. Had it not been at this time of night I would have found the situation humerous. Instead I proceeded to tell them that it was late and they needed to be quiet. It sounds much nicer when I type it but I was not happy. Anyway, Todd and I were talking later and decided that most people would not be moving a TV of that size in at that time of night unless they got it by some means that was not exactly legal...

So our neighbors that pile trash outside in the hallway have recently started using other means to despose of trash....namely dirty diapers, plastic bags and used cond.....well just look in the upper left corner and see if you can figure it out.

How many months are left on our lease??

The many faces of Fisher

Teething biscuit anyone? There is going to be some available on his shirt at any moment...

The "ghetto pacifier" returns....he still loves to chew on the thing. He still has the blue eyes!

The boy sporting his Chuck Taylors...He spent the whole time tripping over them but it was fun for a few minutes...

Here is his mohawk. We are thinking about taking him to church like this. The teeth add a nice touch.

Happy little boy...

Really happy little boy...

Fisher loves to peek up at things and around corners...

Getting into the photo albums....and then acting all innocent when I call him out on it...

The domestication of Meagan...the saga continues...

One of the couples who we are good friends with are expecting a baby girl. I decided it was time to attempt to throw my first baby shower. I was so proud of myself when I made 40 invitations and actually got them out in a timely manner. They were fairly simple since there were so many to make but I think they turned out all right considering it was my first attempt ever of making them.....

The night before the shower I started to make a batch of Monkey Bread (yet another attempt for me to broaden my domestic skills.) It was too good to be true...somewhere between the night before and the morning of, there was mix-up and I arrived at the shower not 30 minutes early as planned but 40 minutes late....I think I will stick to just showing up instead of hosting.

I know some of you may be scared at how domestic I am becoming. Relax...it is still me. The other night I was craving tapioca and without reading the directions all the way through proceeded to pour the entire box of tapioca into the milk instead of the 3 tablespoons directed....I didn't notice anything funny until I read the instructions "mixture will thicken as stirred." Hmmmmm....my mixture was thick the second I poured the whole box in. From there it had no where to go except to turn into cement. My sweet husband humored me and ate some of it. Later I found he had dumped the rest in the garbage :)

Fisher Pictures

Fisher after having eaten some tomato dinner that dyed his face orange.

Holding onto his table leg.

The most recent sleeping position. We snuck into his room at about midnight to take this picture.

Being very serious...He loves the washer and dryer.

There's a smile!

Our little eskimo...The arms and legs were too long. He was tripping and rolling all over the place. It was too funny!
