Happy New Year...a little late!

Hi All,

We fell off the global blog world...but we are back! I think we last left just before Thanksgiving or soon after. We had a wonderful and BUSY holiday season. With lots of family and lots of things to do we are happy to get back to our normal schedule. This year we took a trip to see Kris and Melissa in San Diego and then from there headed north to Big Bear (Near LA). Big Bear was AMAZING, but we went without Matt :( Mom, Dad, Micah and I met our family friends at their cabin on the Big Bear Mountain and had a short but relaxing weekend. We took Micah sledding and I thought he would be terrified but after the first round when I asked him if he wanted to go again he looked at me and said "YESSSSSSSS". After Big Bear we got home and began the Christmas Holiday shenanigans. Micah was more interested than last year in the Christmas Holiday but he still doesn't understand the whole Santa bringing presents thing...which is fine, I refuse to use Santa as leverage to make him be on the "nice list", he should be good no matter if he gets presents or not! New Years was great, we spent it with our friends who threw a "Bad Sweater" party...see pictures below! It was nice to ring in the New Year with such great friends, and we wish the whole family could have been there.

Nice Sweater and vest!

Also…Mom and I ran a 5K for a charity event in December, and it was awesome to share the experience with her! I will get closer to my goal of running a ½ marathon, but baby steps right?!
Micah is doing great, he seems to be getting used to the 2 year old room. Although his ability to share his toys has gone downhill! He is in the "mine" stage. Some new things that he has been doing include:

* Saying "exactly" and "Aaaaamazing"
* Counting to 20...jumbled up but he still gets there!
* He likes to sing!
* No matter what football game is on he will scream at the TV and say "GOOOO Bikings"...he hasn't got the "V" sound just yet :)

Other than that we are enjoying each other for a few more months until the madness of March comes around!

Happy New Year to you all!
Love, Love

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

Giving Thanks...Kapri's Surgery and Recovery.

You know that sinking, useless, hopeless feeling you get when one of your children are sick or hurt? Those feelings were almost more than I could take when I went to take Kapri in for her 15 month check up on Tuesday morning and ended up in surgery Tuesday night... A little over two weeks ago Kapri began to limp on her right leg and after noticing I kept an eye on it and it would differ day to day.  Sometimes it wasn't even noticeable as she would run back and forth from her brother or just in her play.  Other times is was so noticeable I found myself holding her more than I ever had (after she learned how to walk).  I decided that it was time to call the Dr. and see what his thoughts were.  So Friday (18th) we got her in. The typical questions like, did she fall, was she pushed at school, does she have a temp, etc.  Since NONE of these symptoms seemed to be the case he wanted me to just keep her on Motrin and since she had her 15 month check up on Tuesday (...

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year, especially with Micah as he is fully aware of these characters who come and leave gifts throughout the year. This year the Easter Bunny left a trail of eggs in the hallway leading up to a candy filled Easter basket (I cringe thinking of the next dentist visit!).  Matt and I loved hearing his little feet run through the hall and then to hear him gasp each time he found an egg was too cute!   We recently became members of a new church and decided to go to mass there (we usually drive across town to our old church to go to special holiday masses with mom and dad). After mass we headed to Mom and Dad's and had an AMAZING feast! Micah was bouncing off the walls with the amount of candy he had eaten, and once again, Mom out did herself with the kids' baskets she made. Here are a few pictures!
