Clean Up Time!

January Fun!

Hi everybody! Almost 18 months old and having lots of fun!! The two outdoor pictures are on grandma and grandpa's deck which the kids really enjoy. They are running now, and the deck provides a lot of (contained) outdoor space to zoom around and giggle. As you can see from the picture of the kids on our shoulders, mom and dad are still a bit tired but having lots of fun too! In addition to running, some other things the kids are enjoying are books, balls, dolls, animals, Elmo (melmo), and playing "I'm gonna get you". and a variety of foods . . .some of their favorites listed below.

Amanda: pasta, pasta sauce (especially pasta fina marinara, tuttorosso marinara or prego marinar) eggs, turkey, peas, goldfish, pizza, tacos, cheerios, apple, banana, cheese, tuna salad, yogurt (nyo nyo)

Luke: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, banana, cheerios, goldfish, cheese, waffles (specifically eggo nutrigrain which is fine with me!), yogurt (nyo nyo)

Not a whole lot of overlap with their preferences although they both really like yogurt (they both call it nyo nyo), cheerios, goldfish, and bananas. Amanda LOVES her pasta with sauce and Luke LOVES berries. Of course, Amanda doesn't eat berries and Luke doesn't eat pasta :)

Oh - the three pictures which grandma is not in were taken by her camera. . .thank you!!

Rocking Chair Fun!

Here are the kids having fun with the rocking chair (in December) That is Luke's onesie unsnapped and dangling . . . easier access to his belly button this way!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Today is Mommy's Birthday! Last year on her birthday, Daddy took Mommy and us for a nice drive and we went to a French restuarant called Luc's. Here is a video of us last year in the morning on Mommy's Birthday:

Mommy is at work right now but we will surely celebrate her birthday tonight!

An email note and picture from Grandma

Received this email and photo from Grandma:

I know this is such a "grandma thing", but while I was at your house today Luke puckered up his lips and Amanda gave him a kiss. It was so cute and the camera was there, so what could I do? This was totally out of the blue. They were both in the basket a few minutes later. It was definitely a fun basket day.
