Our Family

Forgotten Blog

Well, I haven't exactly forgotten it, but it has lost it's importance on the to-do list. Little Lilly was added to the brood in October and now we're gearing up for a wonderful holiday including a week-long Christmas vacation to see family in Indiana. God has been so good to us this year and we thank Him for His many blessings in our lives.

Happy Easter

A local church hosted an Easter egg hunt last week at a local park and the kids enjoyed the hype and the plastic eggs more than anything! The eggs have actually been added to the toybox. Ahh, the simple pleasures of life!

Smiling Faces

These are some recent snapshots of our two. Anna is a very strong and determined little thing and insists upon feeding herself, no matter how much mess may follow. Spaghetti anyone? Logan has such a cheesey fake smile, but I must say he comes by it naturally, and like his dad, he's awfully cute anyway.

Just for fun

2009-02-26T07:01:00.000-08:00

These are just some fun pictures of the kids. They are ready for church, and Logan is hamming it up for the camera by saying "cheese" (he really does come by it naturally! Also, we've found his favorite place to play, in the toy box. Why not? It defiitely cuts down on having to get up and pick your toys! The picture of Jeff and Logan is just before an outdoor playing adventure. Logan feels the need to wear his "glasses" when it's sunny out. And last but not least, Pebbles. Anna doesn't like her hair in her face and we haven't decided how to cut it, so until then...well, you saw the picture!

Turning 1, and having fun!

Well, our little baby is one now! It's amazing how fast the time flies by. We did discover that Anna is a typical girl and really loves chocolate. Since she shared her birthday cake with daddy (and he doesn't like chocolate) it was white. She really didn't eat much. But then we went to grandma's house were she had a chocolate cupcake and I think she licked the highchair tray! Maybe grandma does know best!

Snow Days!

2009-02-26T06:52:00.000-08:00

We've only had a little snow so far, but we've taken advantage of our time in it. Anna hated touching it and walking in it, hence the make-shift, laundry basket sled. Logan, however, couldn't get enough!

Holiday Greetings

I'm sorry it has been so long. Since the last time we have moved into a beautiful 3-bedroom apartment and have enjoyed making it our home and decorating for Christmas. Along with our family Christmas shot I've included a couple pictures of the kiddos. Logan has this crazy love for diaper cream (I added a photo of when he was a baby and got ahold of it). Only this time he thought it was hair gel! Too smart for his own good! And then there's little Anna, she's such a girl. She can turn the crying on and off amazingly fast. They are doing great though and growing so much.

A boy's birthday bash!

2008-10-10T04:56:00.000-07:00

Well, Logan is 2 now. It's amazing how quick these things come up. We celebrated all weekend with a farm festival one day, a picnic lunch with the family, a craft festival, and then to top it all off, a tractor cake. It was quite funny, as we posed for the picture with the cake Jeff and I both thought Logan was cheesy smiling when he was actually sticking his finger in the icing. Go figure!

Summer Days

2008-08-19T18:49:00.000-07:00

Praise the Lord the weather has been so mild lately. We have had many afternoon walks to the park to swing and just goof around. The kids are growing so much! Anna is on the verge of crawling and can already manuever her way around any room. Logan is talking more and more and his imagination is out of this world! His new favorite playtime activity is to play farm. He feeds his animals, waters them, and even makes them talk to each other! As for the dress Anna's wearing, it was a gift, and this was really the only 5 seconds she wore it when she wasn't screaming.

Summer Days

2008-07-20T13:16:00.000-07:00

A lot has happened in the past month. The biggest thing is that we took a trip to Indy for the fourth of July. There we spent time with Daniel (my brother), Lisa (Daniel's fiance'), and Kathy (Lisa's mom). We also spent time with all of our aunts and Uncles cousins and close friends. It was a blast. Logan now remembers most of them in night time prayers. The time was sweet. We have an awesome family.
Anna is developing everyday. She is sitting up and playing on her own. She no longer "cries", but rather she hollers. It is cute. Logan is ever learning and mimmicing. He now tucks his teddy bears in with him at bed time and wants us to kiss them like we kiss him. Our garden is growing at a rapid pace. We have squash and beans coming out of our ears. Sorry we don't have pictues of that. It is rather embarrassing =)

Short Update

2008-06-10T06:12:00.000-07:00

Hey, everyone! Things are moving along here in Springfield. Anna can now roll over. She is also trying to sit up on her own. Logan's vocabulary is expanding. He is growing by leaps and bounds. Logan and Anna love eachother and love to play together. The biggest obstacle in their relationship is Logan sometimes thinks that "Sissy" is bigger than she is.
Michelle and I are doing great. We plan on starting a "progam/ opportunity" for our church. It will model the "dinners for eight" that we participated in, with our Sunday school class in Dallas. Our desire is that the congregation would better get aquainted with eachother and then inturn be more sensitive and understanding of the needs within the body. Also we pray that this bonds the members together in a more adhesive way. Enjoy the Pics.

They're growing fast!!

2008-05-09T04:33:00.000-07:00

So, Anna is three months old now, but if you try to tell her she's a little baby she'll let you know otherwise real quick! She loves to sit in the Jumperoo although only one of her ten toes touches the floor. I think this is her favorite place to interact with her big brother, plus he usually gives her a couple of little bounces! The chair picture is just too cute for words! And who can resist fire truck pajamas and The Wiggles big red car slippers. The slippers are about 2 sizes too big for Logan, but he loves the Wiggles so he prances around the house in his slippers saying "Wig-Wig" (Logan language for the Wiggles!)

2008-04-16T05:11:00.000-07:00

At the end of March our Uncle Wilbur and Aunt Marsha came to visit us. It was a blast. Logan and Anna and we enjoyed their company. It is a blessing of God to have such a good family. We love you, Aunt Marsha and Uncle Wilbur.

Happy Family

There is not alot of new things going on here. The Lord always gives us continual reasons for putting smiles on our faces.

One month and still kicking

2008-03-17T04:12:00.000-07:00

It has now been over 1 month since Anna has come to us. Sometimes it seems so hectic around here that we just can't settle down. But then The Lord gives us great moments and memories with eachother. For instance I walked into the kitchen after a day at a job and saw Logan in Michelle's John Deere apron, helping her make something that smelled teriffic. It made me tear up and thank the Lord for moments like that. Logan's vocab is expanding greatly. He started wining alot to get our attention, so Michelle taught him how to pat her on the leg and say "Mamma." Well needless to say, Logan now uses that method to get my attention. He knows me as Daddy, but when he tries to get my attention he thinks "Mamma" is a magical word like please. It is cute to have him pat me on the Leg and say "Mommy, Mommy."
Anna is growing and maturing. As you may see in the pictures we post, her hair is a little wild. It just stands straight up. She is a great addition to the Wohlfert clan.
The relatives came to see us this week. My dad and his wife, Betty, came. Along with them came my sister (whom I haven't seen since Christmas of '06). It was great to see her again. If you are wondering about the thing Logan is climbinig on in one of the pics, wonder no more. If you think that it looks like a 2 1/2 foot stuffed chicken, you are correct. That is a present from Grandpa.
Please keep me(Jeffrey) in your prayers. There is a really good job opportunity for me through a company called Ecolab. Now I am doing temp work for Pella windows.
Michelle is doing great as always. Though she is tired most of the time she handles herself wonderfully. I am truly blessed to have her as my companion on this journey of life. We plan on going on a date Later this week. We have some awesome friends/family that will watch the kidos. Thanks Uncle Jeff and Aunt Amanda.
May God keep you and bless you and cause his face to shine upon you.

Good times!

Wow! Its amazing how quickly two weeks fly by! I can't believe our little baby is growing so much. Logan absolutely loves her! He loves to hold her and kiss her, and whenever she cries he is quick to let us all know! We hope you all enjoy these new pictures of our two little blessings!

Welcome, Anna Grace Wohlfert

2008-02-09T18:56:00.000-08:00

Well, Anna has finally arrived. Michelle went into labor at about 3:30 AM. Seven hours later Anna Grace Wohlfert came into the world to join all of us. She came with no complications. The most complicated part of the delivery was trying to figure out who was going to deliver Anna. Three other women went into the last stage of labor at the same time as Michelle, so one OB went into surgery with a lady, one OB stayed with us, the head doctor was keeping tabs on everybody, and all of the nurses were trying to keep everything running. It was an amazing time. The staff kept commenting on Michelle's great attitude and strength through it all. They told us that it is very rare to have some one come in and do eveything naturally. I praise God for my great wife. Enjoy the pics of Anna.

Snow Day

2008-02-01T17:46:00.000-08:00

Last night we had some winter weather and Logan was captivated by the falling snow. He kept pointing out the window saying' "Brrrrr." He even said snow once or twice. Today we woke up to a wonderful landscape of white. After Logan's hunger was satisfied Michelle and I bundled him up and took him outside.
I had to shovel the driveway (incase of an "emergency/BABY!!!!!!"), so I enlisted the help of a young man, you might not recognize him all covered up, but it is our son. Enjoy the pictures and videos.

Our little family outing to Bass Pro!

Logan's big, cheesy, toothy grin!
