Merry Christmas!

It was a wonderful holiday for the Schachtele family. Althea was inundated with gifts, and slept for 13 hours straight on Christmas night after all the action.

This is an original Christmas photo taken BY Althea!

Here she is with her seals, CC1 and CC2, and her new Hello Kitty outfit!

A highlight for Lincoln was receiving his Abraham Lincoln doll. They're currently about the same size!
Happy Holidays, everybody!

Entertaining each other...

Halloween and Thanksgiving have quickly passed us by this year. We had the stomach flu, so we missed seeing family over this past holiday weekend! Still, our little family of four is managing to stay entertained, mostly by Althea. And now that we're healthy, we'll share some of that entertainment with all of you!

Here's Althea in all her energetic glory!

In contrast, we have Lincoln who sleeps about 20 hours a day!

Sometimes he opens his pretty blue eyes, though!

What Althea loves most these days, is helping out with Baby Brother. Here she is trying to give him a bottle. We find ourselves saying "GENTLY!" a lot. Princess Bride reference, anyone?
