Now here's a happy girl :)

christmas 2009

Snow - And lots of it :)

The picture really speaks for itself :)

An Idyllic day....

It's December. It's snowing. Christmas music is playing on the ipod. My husband is hanging lights on the house. My two year old is outside playing in the snow for the first time. And my 1 year old is watching it all with his nose pressed against the door, wanting with all his might to be out there with his sister.

And I'm making christmas cookies...Pretty much a perfect day..




Days like this make it all worthwhile :)

Miss Sydney in the leaves:

A sydney moment

So, I'm going to target yesterday morning, and sydney comes running up to me as I'm going out the door and says, "Mommy, I'm ready to go". Then she pauses for a moment and says "Um mommy, just one more thing....my pants are missing."

Yup, she was ready to go - hat, jacket, shoes and socks. And.... underpants...

And he's off!!!!!

We have a walker :)

Daniel is ONE!

I'm not sure about this hat,



But I'll take the cake :)

Catching up with some pics

Sorry we've been AWOL

It's been a crazy month. We moved about 2 weeks ago now and have been settling in. Still dont have internet at home, so no new pics of the kids (although I will catch up after the 15th when we get internet), but I do have a pic of the new house I thought I'd post.

We are really enjoying it. Sydney has already made friends with the group of 10 year old girls that live in the neighborhood. they come over to play with her and fill me in on the neighborhood dirt so it's a win win :) We are starting to meet all the parents too and everyone seems pretty nice so far..

So in general, there really IS truth to the statement "Everything works out for the best". We were SO sad when we lost the other house we wanted to buy, but this new house really couldn't have worked out better, and we're already really happy there....

July 11th - Daniel is officially crawling!

Sydney Quote of the Week!

"I want some Lob -stah!!!!!"

The 2 year old was truly perplexed as to why she did not have her own personal lobster on her plate..That's what we get for always serving her the same thing we eat...

Ahhh, siblings

Happy Birthday Poppy!!!!

Sydney Quote of the Week...

"No Daniel, I'm crying right now......"

sorry so dark!

Wanting to be just like mom...

Not your typical super bowl pregame show!

When michael said he just couldn't describe what he was seeing out the front window, I thought he was being dramatic. I certainly didn't think I'd see this:

We think the driver blacked out. According to a neighbor who saw the whole thing, she came straight down the street at about 55 miles per hour and hit our speed bump and then the curb and took it airbore into the house. There are no tire tracks whatsoever between the curb and where she landed after hitting the house.

Scary......

3 month pics - watch out ladies!

C'mon get happy!

Lazy new years
