Great To See Family

We had such a great time seeing family we don't usually see. We know that you all keep up with our lives,  and so it was great to see you in person. Thanks Aunt Kathy for spending time with us and the great gifts. Sorry we were a bit cranky at photo time. It has been a long three weeks for us.

And we can't be thankful enough for the hospitality at Uncle Liam and Aunt Pam's and Sam house. You guys were great. Thank you for putting up with our screaming and overall chaos. We loved seeing you all. Remember you are welcome to come to Asia and stay with us for as long as you want. We can show you the beach!

Skyelar demanded that Pam snuggle with her on the couch, so I joined in.

It was hard to get a shot, but we did out best.

 Till next time...thanks again everyone. Hope to see you soon.

Snow Day

We went out to Whitnall Park for our last day in Milwaukee. We were lucky cuz it snowed a bit last night!

 

 

We were all bundled up and ready to go. it was 18 degrees. The coldest we have ever felt for sure!

Skyelar loves her glasses. J-Lo watch out! There is a new diva in town.

We walked on a trail and enjoyed the fresh weather. Here is some video:

Climbed over fallen trees...

...and helped each other out.

All in all we had a great time!

Though it did all end in tears with freezing feet and hands. (Not pictured) Finally we were back home and warm and cozy.

Hanging Around

It has been a few days, since we posted pictures, but we have been busy! Here is a quick recap. Opening gifts from Grandma Mahin on X-mas. Thanks for the great hat. Kaia wears here purse everywhere she goes.

Sometimes we just need to spend time unwinding and watching TV. We are pretty good and rarely actually fight. Here we are just snuggling.

Although, sometimes Skye has a huge tantrum for no reason. This one lasted for almost 15 minutes.

Yesterday we went to the Betty Brinn's Children's Museum. It was super fun. So fun we didn't want to leave.

A few days ago we went to Appleton to see my mommy's God-Mother and her kids and grandkids. It was so much fun and great to finally meet Cortney! Nice to meet you Cortney. Hope to see you again soon.

X-Mas 2011

It has been an exciting Christmas around here. On Christmas Eve, Kaia, mommy and Grandma went to a play, so Skyelar stayed home with daddy and Grandpa watching football. It was very exciting so she just entertained herself by playing and reading.

We had never seen a fireplace, so it was pretty exciting and cozy to turn it on and hang out on Christmas Eve.

But alas, it was time to go to sleep and wait for the big man. We left him some cookies and a note I left for him, thanking him for his gifts.

Next day bright and early (but not obscenely early) we got up and opened presents!

One of our favorite gifts were the binoculars!

We even took them to the zoo later that day, where we spent time enjoying the crips weather and fallen leaves.

Later we came home and played with some toys:

And Skyped with Grandma Mahin to open her gifts. Thanks for the beautiful hat!

We had a great Christmas and now looking forward to the new year.

Last Day in NYC

By the last day in NYC, we had all become New Yorkers. No more complaining and lots of walking about. We even walked to Central Park and went on a carriage ride.

After the ride we went to a playground and rode a tire swing for the first time. Skye loved it.

My daddy carried me on his shoulders when I was too tired to walk .

Finally, here we are relaxing before getting on the airplane to go back to Milwaukee.
Watching Yo Gaba Gaba.

We had such a great time in New York. Looking forward to coming back soon.

NYC Girls

Still loving NYC! We get tired and cranky, but we are have a great time walking the streets and riding the subway around town.

Yesterday we went to the Museum of Natural History and Skye loved looking at the "fishies"...well when she got out of her stroller.

New York City

Arrived in New York City! Here is Skye swinging to the stars.

I had a great time playing in Central Park.

We were off to see Santa! The line was super long, but it moved quickly.


But it was definitely worth it...he was so nice.

It has been great to walk around the streets of NYC with Grandma and Grandpa. (I do complain a lot...it is cold, I am tired etc...but we are having fun)

We had fun at FAO Swchartz.

Here I am talking to Santa one last time.
