What's "Up on Santa Claus Mountain"?

Enjoy this music video to Lorrie Morgan's "Up on Santa Claus Mountain" starring Cally as Lorrie Morgan and Kelli, Kristin, Alex, Stacy, and Shauna as the back-up singers. Made Saturday, 12/28. Good times. Enjoy!!!

Henry's new jacket

My dad informed me last week Henry was shivering SO much in the cold weather that he couldn't even pee...hehe So i went and got him a puffy jacket! This is Henry's first clothing item, and I think he looks good! The hood is not snapped in this picture, so you can't quite get the full effect of how cute he really is. haha

We visited the Buchholz family yesterday. This is our (missing Ash) annual picture on the steps with the new addition of Cally this year!! I showed everyone Aunt Linda's video she had posted of the singers. We made our own video. I am having some trouble uploading, hope to get on the site later today!!

Help Us Name This Baby!!

Hello Again All!



So far the Oplinger family has been blessed with one beautiful baby in 2008 (Welcome to the world little Calli! Am I spelling that right??) and so far are awaiting two more in 2009 (Congrats Sara & Dave!). In case you didn't know Ink and I are expecting our second (and last!!) child due March 27th. Our baby boy will be a welcome addition by Mom & Dad, although little Olivia is still in denial. Every time we mention the baby she yells, "NO!" and runs the other way. Yes, this is what you would call good times - lol.



Along with updating you I would also like to ask for a favor. Ink and I cannot agree on a name to save our lives! Please feel free to pass along any and all suggestions.



Here's to a fantastic 2009!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Wanted to say hello to everyone and post a picture of Olivia Regina wearing the Christmas jammies Aunt Linda sent her (thank you!!!). Hope you are all doing well this season. Miss and love you all - Jessie

Lets Have This Baby Already!!!

Hello Everyone!

Mom, thanks for setting up this blog. As we've found with the Simpson clan, it's a great way to keep in touch and share photos and videos with one another, even though we're so far away! We hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season. Dave and I had a low key Christmas day. We took a short hike and are going to enjoy a somewhat "non-traditional" Mexican meal for dinner. Maia arrives on Sunday...we can't wait! And of course, we wait and wait and wait for the baby to make it's debut. My due date is January 5th, but according to my midwife I could pop at anytime. Sooner rather than later if you ask me. Sleep is rare these days and I'm quite uncomfortable. Oh well, I'm trying to take it in stride. We can't wait to visit with you all once we get back east in the Spring.

Love,
xoxoxo
Sara & Dave
