It's a GIRL!!

We are thrilled to introduce you to Kate!

Isn't she cute? :)

While both Annie and Peter were pretty good sized babies, Kate decided to take it to a whole new level...she weighed in at 11 lbs 4 ounces! Thank goodness she decided to show up a few days early! Her hair is light and it appears she has the same dimples that both Peter and Annie have.

The kids absolutely adore her and it has been really fun watching them "interact". Everyone is doing well and we are really happy to have this little girl home with us!

Enjoy the pics!

I have one little note about this picture - I think this was the first time that Kate displayed her bodily functions for Annie and Peter - entertaining for everyone

Random update

After some computer trauma, we are back! It was getting a bit sad to click on the blog and see only snow pictures and while there is snow falling outside right now, we have actually had some decent weather!

Yeah for bike rides!!

Peter and Will cruising in the Wagon

Kenna and Peter were quite happy on the alligator for a long time

A favorite activity around here...

Here's hoping for more updates in the near future! Happy Spring to everyone!

Fun in the snow

While a little warm weather is always nice, we do manage to have a ton of fun in the snow!

Here Annie and Peter are peeking out from the snow cave they helped Robert build in the backyard.

They brought a lot of stuff in the cave including sand toys (they double really well as snow toys), a patio table, buckets, etc.

And here are some sledding pictures - I love the snow in their faces on this one

'Tis the Season!

December has been a great month so far - here are some fun pictures...

Christmas Cookie Decorating

To kick off the Christmas season we always decorate loads and loads of sugar cookies and Gingerbread men. It is something that my Grandma Ruth has headed up for as long as I can remember. We love it and are so glad the tradition lives on! There are clearly some people who are way more creative than others, but we all have fun. Enjoy the pictures!

Fun with Grandma

We had a super time while Robert's Mom was in town -we did a ton of fun stuff and the weather accommodated us perfectly - here are a few pictures of her trip. Thanks for coming Grandma! Come again soon!!
We went to the Children's Museum and had a fabulous time! Here are a few of the things we did - look at that big bubble

One of the first things we did was to paint our faces - the kid REALLY liked that!




We also made some headbands - nice, huh?

And last but not least - that day they had "Black Light Art" - you went in this room with black lights on and did a bunch of fun art projects that showed up super well in the black light. The picture is a bit funny - but it really was fun!
We also spent some time at the park - this is the "Spider web Park" as Peter calls it. Grandma climbed around with the kids for a while - I think we wore her out!

Trick or Treat!

I am pretty positive that we have never had better weather on Halloween! I remember the one year it snowed 20 inches on Halloween...this year it was almost 70! The kids had a super time...
