Improvement

Updating my blog TWO times in a 12 month time period... I think that's a 100% improvement from the 12 months before that! :) Usually I post some of my personal favorite pics of the kids on Facebook and I assume no one is looking at this pathetic blog who doesn't just check in on us on Facebook. I found some cute pictures on my phone the other day that never made it to Facebook, so I thought I would share...

Nora J modeling her new Christmas jumper from her Uncle Patrick. Good work Uncle P! (I suspect he had some help with his shopping!)


Look who decided to basically potty train himself! Granted he is 3+ but he basically woke up one morning wanting to wear undies and I think I've cleaned up 2 accidents since! I'm sure the newness will wear off but for now I can't resist his little buns in those undies!


Here's Nora enjoying these amazingly unseasonable January temps.


Of course we did enjoy the snow while we could. This picture was quickly followed by Nora face-planting in our driveway. A bloody face didn't stop this girl from having some fun!


We've got a fun February ahead. This weekend we are headed to Dubuque to swim at the water park and stay over night at the hotel. We're looking forward to meeting my brothers and parents there. And better yet, next weekend my wonderful hubby planned a getaway! We are going to stay in Des Moines and enjoy sleeping in, West Side Story at the Civic Center, a couples massage, sleeping in, dinner out, a movie, did I mention SLEEPING IN! ;) A good blogger would take pictures and report back. Don't hold your breath!

Look Alikes????

I just stumbled across this picture of Nora, that I took a couple of months back...



And it got me thinking about this picture of Liam, that I took a couple of years back...



And while I'm at it- Nora and Liam enjoying a swing at 8 months old...




No doubt about it, they are bro and sis! (Not that anyone had any doubts, right? :)

Along for the ride

We've been putting our bike trailer to good use this spring and it seems like the kids really like it. Dan is trying to get them used to longer rides because he has the brave idea of pulling them on a day of RAGBRAI. He's planning to do the whole week, but since it comes through Coralville this year he thought he could load them up and let them in on the fun. I'm not sure if I would spend my day relaxing kid-free or worrying! :)







I'm a sucker for a little smile hiding behind a pacie!

365 Days Later...

Because it's been a year... And who doesn't love Wordless Wednesday?! Enjoy! (And consider this my attempt at reentry to the blogging world!)

Welcome Home!

Almost every evening when Dan gets home from work Liam is already in his high chair enjoying his dinner. It's so cute to see Liam's face light up when "Dada" comes around the corner. Now he even starts getting excited as soon as he hears the garage door open, because he knows who is coming. I think Dan's a pretty lucky guy... Who wouldn't want to be greeted with this cheesy smile?!

And then it's clean up time!
