Coloring Easter Eggs

This was the first time the girls got to color Easter eggs. They had fun dropping the eggs into the coloring and decorating them with stickers. And right before we went to bed we left the Eater bunny a little treat, in hopes that he would be generous with the gifts that he would leave.

It looks like it worked.

Austin Michael

On March 19th, Lindsay gave birth to her third baby, Austin Michael. He is as perfect as her other two babies are.

Having lunch with Nono

During my Dad's spring break time, he took a day to spend with us girls. We had fun with Nono at the park and then had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. We love you Nono!!!

First Haircut

In March the girls went for their first haircut. We took them to Kidsnips. Sofia did great with it, but Eva wasn't too sure that she wanted her haircut. In the end everyone was happy, though.

Happy 3rd Birthday Caroline!!

On Feb. 19th Caroline turned 3 years old!!! The girls celebrated it with her at her party. They loved the cupcakes and the beads that they got in their goody bag.

Happy Birthday Caroline!!

Merry Merry Christmas!!!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas. We did! This year Eva and Sofia really started to understand the magic of it. It was so much fun watching them recognize christmas songs, notice the christmas lights on houses, and admire our Christmas tree. Here are some pictures from Christmas eve night at my parents house and from Christmas morning at our house.

Visiting Santa Claus

Last year when we took the girls to go see Santa, we were worried they were going to be scared of him, but they surprised us and were perfectly fine. BUT this year they made up for it. As you can see from the picture, Eva wanted NOTHING to due with this fat bearded man, and Sofia was just angry and annoyed we made her wait in line for one hour to meet this dude. Anyways, we hope next year goes better. But this is definitely a classic picture!!

Let it Snow!!!

Today was the first snow fall of this holiday season. And most importantly the first snow that the girls were able to experience. At first Sofia was a little hestitate, but after I put her mittens on she was fine. Eva on the other hand was great with or without the mittens. Here they are playing with the snow for the first time.

"Mmmm, this tastes good"

"Let me try this stuff, Eva said it was good."


"Uh-Oh, I think the girls have been out in the snow for too long!!"

Friends' Christmas Dinner

Every Christmas, for the last 10 years, my closest friends and I have been getting together for a Christmas dinner. We go out to eat to a nice restaurant, and enjoy the food, the drinks, and especially the company. This year we went to Gioco. Here we are Lindsay, me, Vayram, and Adri. As Rick likes to call us "the Crew".

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year we had thanksgiving at our house. Both sides of the family came over, it was quite a gathering. Hope all of you enjoyed the day!!
