Cuties, pre- and post!!

Adorable, if we do say so!

Love it!

A BIG Week

So this week saw the end of the era as everyone gets bigger and bigger.
Nathan got a booster and Ella got Nathan's old seat.
Ella's last photo in the baby car seat, for obvious reasons...



As Mike pointed out, each of our three kids came home in this car seat.
Interestingly they each came home in different cars, but the same car seat :-).

Speaking of cars...

Just a picture of the cute, happy family.
The boys practicing their enormous smiles and Ella practicing her crawling (or post-crawling lounge :-)

Ice Skating!

So, the boys and mom are taking skating lessons....



Both boys are naturals...

...thankfully, since their parents are not...

Our Weekend

So the boys decided that our stairs were 'boring' and to liven it up they made a course...with EVERYTHING from their bedroom...

Ella is nearing the end of her time in the jumper but wanted to show her skills off one more time...

We had some freinds come for dinner...what fun the impromptu dinner shin digs can be!!

Snowy Ella

All Ella, all warm outfits!

Thanks Aunt Carrie and Isabella (and Uncles Ang & Tim for the last one), for the super-cutie, super-warm outfits!!

Ella recap and New Year's Eve!

Ella trying out the Channuka bibs...cutie!

Ella looking a little less than engaged at New Year's!

The boys were a little more into it :-)

The last days in MI!

The boys got an AWESOME gift from their aunt and uncles (and Isabella)....

Reading time with Grandma...we love our stories!!

The girls hangin' out...

The girls...

Matthew chillin' with Primo!


Fun was had by all (even Primo, I think :-)

Party-time in MI!

Ella sporting a new hat, and a cutie smile!

Isabella studying her aunt's ancient cell phone :-)

Having fun!

Isabella (also known as little Carrie) palying in her new bouncy---so cool, with a slide no less!

Christmas in Michigan!

Practicing our smiles!

Isabella got a few gifts...so, of course, did our trio!

Smiling in our Santa hats!

Winter!

Winter arrived with gusto!
The snow was fun, but they boys really got to make the most of it because they piled it all up right down from our house!

Practicing making a snowman....a work in progress!

Hannuka and Birthday!

Our first night of Hannukah--we love the fire & police station!!

Daddy's cake and our happy smiles :-)

Having a fun time at our birthday spot...Japanese cooked in front of you...what a party!!
