Meeting the family...

Everyone was thrilled to meet our newest addition - especially her big brother and sister. Even Gia got to meet her shortly after she was born. Because she was born at 5 pm, there was only time for a quick visit before it was time to go home to bed.

Happy Valentine's Day

Merry Christmas

Presents, presents, everywhere! What could be more fun than Christmas morning?!


Merry Christmas!

Santa

This past week we visited with Santa. Of course C was scared to death so she did not take part in the picture. Maybe next year! A is a little too cool for Santa this year. But he still wants to believe - or at least he still really wants that new light saber...

Getting Ready for Christmas...

I love getting ready for Christmas. Fortunately, the kids seem to enjoy it too! After Thanksgiving, it is time to get the tree up in our house. C was still recovering from her ear infection so Dad got a free pass to sit and hold her while the rest of us worked! M and A had a great time putting on the ornaments and remembering where each one came from. Most of our ornaments were made by the kids (or myself when I was little) or they have been collected on all our travels. It is fun to remember each trip or adventure as we hang them on the tree every year. Of course the highlight is putting the star on top of the tree. We usually do it several times so that everyone gets a turn!

Thanksgiving

Well, it has been quite a while since I have updated pictures on here. Our computer was out of commission for a few weeks so it was difficult. Here are some photos from Thanksgiving. We were able to spend the weekend with family. The kids of course love playing with their cousins and I enjoyed shopping on black Friday without the kids! The big event of the weekend for C was her first taste of icecream and a trip to urgent care for an ear infection. Life is never dull in our Family!

Hanging out with "Gipa"

Happy Halloween!

What fun we had on Halloween this year. The kids enjoyed trick-or-treating in our neighborhood with some friends. A dressed as Anakin Skywalker, M was Fancy Nancy and C was Frenchy (Fancy Nancy's posh puppy!) The weather was beautiful - warm and sunny. Great for trick-or-treating but not optimal for great photos. C was not in the smiling mood during this photo shoot either but at least you can see their outfits! Enjoy!
