Spring Already?

Our little family is doing really well. Elke has been adding lots of words to her vocabulary. Recent additions include magazine, beautiful, eagle, cute, humongous,and triceratops. She had a play date with Rhia recently and really enjoyed it. Bea is very smiley. She only gets up once a night (but usually stays up for at least an hour). The weather has been great here--but there's not much to do around here! Maggie goes back to work on March 1st so things are about to change again. Hope you are all well. Enjoy the newest pictures!

Life at Home

Hello All,
Here are the latest pictures of our family. Elke and Bea are doing really well. Elke is still crazy about Beatrix. She' going a little nuts from being home all the time. She is so smart and kind. Bea is growing like a weed. Last time we checked she was already 9 pounds. She smiles all of the time (really, not just gas!)and has already been trying to mimic us sticking out our tongues. We are totally in love with our little family and are so glad to have this time off together. Be sure to check out the video below of Elke dancing to the band Pavement.

Bringing Bea Home!!

We brought Beatrix home on 1/7/10 in the afternoon. Elke was beyond excited to have a baby sister at home. She just wants to hug her, kiss her, and sing to her all the time. Elke is also very helpful--so far she is a great big sister. We are all settling in at home and enjoying our newly augmented family. Here are more pictures.

Smooth Sailin' So Far

We're all doing pretty good so far. Grandma Jan
came out to visit for a while and helped us out. Here are some pics.
