Break It Down

Our Sunday at Old Navy.

Sissy wanted in on the action.

So there is no confusion, they do not get these dance moves from me.

Until next time--

Happy Halloween!

Trick or treating with the Zorns...Cleopatra, Rapunzel, Kitty Cat, and Elmo.





Catching a ride to the next house.


Luke sat down in a neighbor's driveway to sample the pretzel treats. Yum!




Happy Halloween!

If the Shoe Fits...

I'm sure in a few years, he wouldn't want the world to see these pictures, but I couldn't resist!

Stuck Like Glue

I took a break from blogging...for lots of reasons. One of which is that we need a new computer. We haven't figured out what we want yet....Mac or PC, that is the debate.
Anyway, I'm back, at least for today. Since I last posted, lots of things have been happening-- Luke turned one. He's walking, talking (some words) and getting into and climbing on everything. Lauren turned 4 and joined the ranks of the oldest kids in school at Junior Kindergarten (sniff! Sniff!). She starts gymnastics this week. I showed her some videos of Shawn Johnson and she said, "Hey Dad! Do you know Shawn Johnson is better at gymnastics than I am?". No self esteem issues in our house.
I'll try to do a full summer update later but I wanted to share this adorable video with you.
I took this this morning in the car when I was getting ready to drop them both off at daycare. Lauren loves music and often gets to choose the morning music selection on the iPod. Today was Sugarland's Stuck Like Glue. She was singing away to her little brother. She loves him so much and I think the feeling is mutual! I love watching them together!

Oh Say Can You Say

Everynight we read stories to Lauren before bed...one of my favorite moments of the day.  Dr. Seuss is one of our favorite authors.  We love to read his books over and over again.  Our flavor of the month now is "Oh Say Can You Say"...I have to say, one that I was unfamiliar with.  Lauren loves all the silliness that is Dr. Seuss' tongue twisters.  In fact, she has most of the book memorized.  She always amazes me with how quickly she picks things up, but especially books. 

She's also very into letters, words and their spellings now.  Everywhere we go, she is always wondering what different words are that she sees.  I think she'll be reading very soon.  In honor of Dr. Seuss, here's Lauren's version of "The Fudnuddler Brothers."  Enjoy!

Thanks for checking in on us.

Until next time--

Happy Valentine's Day!

Lauren was very excited for Valentine's Day! She picked out Tinker Bell Valentines for her friends as school. She even wrote her name on each of them by herself! Of course, she was excited to find special valentines at her breakfast place this morning...chocolates, a giant lollipop and a new dress! What a great way to start her day.

I made a special Valentine's dinner tonight...filet mignon with a red wine reduction, parmesean mashed potatoes, asparagus and homemade chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert! Yum!!! (and surprisingly waist-slimming as well) We enjoyed our dinner by candlelight...all four of us. Oh how Valentine's day celebrations change with kids. But it changes for the better. I wouldn't want to spend Valentine's Day any other way than with my three favorite Valentines.















Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks for checking in on us. Pictures of Luke at 9 months and the big snow to come.

Crivitz SnowFest 2011!

Last weekend we spent the weekend in Crivitz for a fun weekend of sledding and snowmobiling. We had a great weekend. Crivitz received about 6 inches of snow after we arrived Friday night so it was a perfect weekend for snow activities. Enjoy a few pictures.

Thanks for a fun weekend Nonny and Boppa!
