Valentines Day



FRENCH BRAID!!!



WHO IS CUTE?





DADDY LOVE!

update for grandma

Grandma asked for a few photos of Nora so here are some recent happenings in our house.



We went to Target and Nora saw this doll on a shelf. She immediately LOVED the baby and needed to be holding her. She held the baby (in the box) all through the store, convinced daddy to buy it for her, and then screamed and cried when we had to give the baby to the clerk to check out. It was hilarious. She held it out to the car and in the carseat just like this, and she stil loves her baby at home.



Aunt Amanda and uncle Josh gave nora this robe and grandma and grandpa s gave her the chair. Both are two of her favorite things, especially when enjoying them together.





When we tell Nora it is time to go out, she goes and picks out her outside things! She knows exactly what to do and we better be ready to got out about 30 seconds after we say outside otherwise we have a very unhappy girl pounding at the door.

Kalahari






On New Years day we woke up in Chicago and drove to the Dells. Pete;s Grandma B had rented out a HUGE condo for all the relatives to stay for two nights. This place was amazing. It had everything you could think of. Theater, rooms for everyone, fireplaces ..you name it..plus we could play at the waterpark all day long. It was freezinnng outside , but it felt like a warm get away. It was EXTREMELY generous for grandma to take us all and all 30+ surely enjoyed it! Lots of games, kids, adults, meals, waterslides, and family time.

The weekend was a little melancholy for us too. ON Saturday night we missed the 10th annual Jazz Concert in memory of Jake. It was very hard to miss, especially after missing Jake so much after the holidays. When we got home on Sunday night, Nora cheered her mommy up by playing with her toy saxophone while wearing uncle Jake's Bears tshirt. =)

New Years Eve





We rang in 2010 with the Hawkins. It was a blast as always and we got to see lots of aunts and uncles and friends that night too. The kids had just as much fun as the adults did..
