Ice skating.

This is my favorite picture because Sami is smiling away while Camila is falling in the background.

Christmas at the Bromberek house..

We filled up my mom and dad's house for Christmas.

Santa even showed up!

Little brother Chris helping in the kitchen - wow!!

Pamela and Aunt Teri gave themselves matching hair styles :)

Sami, the dogs and her doll enjoyed being outside, eventhough there was no snow.

We had a fun, chaotic Christmas in the Lebert house...

Pamela was in a play...

Pamela was a rabbit and a "wild woodard" in her school's play of Toad of Toad Hall.

She did a great job!

A little December update.

First of all, here's a cute photo of Sami jumping her heart out on the last day of gymnastics class. She's moving on up to the next level! Good job jumping bean!

So, of course, we celebrated St. Nick's day - I love this day, almost more than Christmas!

This was going to be a really special St. Nick's because that morning Ed and I went to see an ultrasound of the baby. Our plan was that when the kids got home from school, we would open up our stockings and the kids would find a note telling them if the baby was a boy or a girl. Well... as I'm sure most of you know - the doctor couldn't tell! So funny! Ed and I laughed about it all day long - good reminder that we just aren't as in control of things as we think we are.

The kids all want a brother so bad, so they were dissapointed when they came home from school to find out they will have to wait till April to find out.

We had a good time opening our stockings anyway!

A little wave from the baby!

What's on my phone.

For some reason I just can't keep up with what's happening with our family. Probably because there's nothing too significant, I hardly ever bring my camera anywhere and life is just busy! So, I thought I could update my blog by just seeing what's on my camera - might give you a picture of the last couple of months.

Sebastian eating one of our favorite soups - it's not that cold here, but he and Sami and their friend Kobe are really into dressing up right now.

Life at the library. We still try to make it their often. Sami made some friends this day.

Sebas and Camila had an awesome season of fall soccer with Joy of the People. They are both in love with playing soccer. This was a weird day at soccer when they also had pony rides and ice cream sundae's. Wonder why they like it so much...

Camila was SO happy playing goalie for her team this day.

Her goalie jersey was a Packers sweatshirt!

Sami got to meet Clifford (she LOVES Clifford) at the bookstore one day :)

Sami and I are working on our cleaning skills. We both love cleaning about the same amount (we hate it). But, it seemed more fun in heels.

This is a great game the three little kids came up with one boring Saturday.

1. Put a garbage can over your head.

2. Garbage-can-head tries to tag other people.

3. Other people throw balls at Garbage-can-head.

My mom came to visit and brought Packer hats for all the kids.

They wear them non-stop.

Mom also helped the kids make lots of fun Halloween treats.

These were really messy chocolate witch hats.

It was too bad Digory ate almost all of them :(

Halloween! We made the kids make their own costumes this year.

We used what we had around the house - which, thanks to a very special donor - was many lint brushes - So, Camila was a lint brush and Sami and Sebas were lint and dust. They actually were kind of cute... it was memorable anyway.

I read this book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, by Mindy Kaling.

It's SO funny. You can borrow it from me, if you want.

Pamela and I went coat shopping at Target today.

For some reason the mirror in the clothing section is a "fat mirror" - it makes you look terrible in everything. So we had to use my camera to see how they looked.

She bought the grey one and is thinking about it overnight.

And that's what we've been doing, according to my camera phone!

A longer line of Leberts.

A very belated welcome to the 7th member of our family, Alejandro!

Alejandro is an intern, teaching at our kids Spanish Immersion school this year and is living with us! We are so happy to have this Colombian native in our house. He is a real delight and we all just adore him.

Technically, Alejandro isn't a "Lebert", but we are also (excited, scared, bewildered? what word goes here?) to announce that a baby Lebert will be joining our family come April 2012.

So - it's been a crazy, busy house and life for us all this fall. Who knows what's next??

Anyone else want to come live with us?
