I haven't been doing a great job on my blog...sorry Mom! The kids are keeping us pretty busy. Thankfully, my work/travel schedule hasn't been too bad the past few months. We are definitely ready for spring to get here so we can get out of the house more! Here are a few updates on the kids:

Nadia:

• The sassy meter hasn't gone down very much
• She is in swimming, dance and starts soccer in a few weeks
• She still refuses to wear long sleeved shirts. I can get her to wear a hood shirt to daycare but it comes off the minute she walks in the door.
• Nadia loves to chase Patches around the house...all fun and games until he gets her hand a little too tighlty!

DJ

• 5 Months old already!!
• He can roll over from tummy to back
• Eating solid food really well
• Happy little guy almost all the time
• Loves to hear his voice and let's everyone else hear!

Had to add this...we were folding clothes the other night and DJ got a hold of Nadia's panties. She thought that was pretty funny...must have Mommie's sense of humor!

Easter Sunday

DJ's Love Affair with a Buffalo...

Nadia gave DJ one of her stuffed animals when he was born he has grown a strange affection for it for a 5 month old. He loves his buffalo and when you give it to him he immediately lunges for it and gives it a big hug/slobbery kiss. It's too funny!

March Madness!

March has just started and it's been crazy already! Luckily, we have all fun things planned for the month. We had no trips planned at all for the cold weather months so we decided to take the kids to Wisconsin Dells for some indoor water park fun. For those who don't know about the Dells...it has the most water parks in the nation and some of the best people watching you'll find!

Nadia got the stomach flu the very first night-thankfully she bounces back quick and we were still able to have some fun.

We learned that Nadia's new 2 piece wasn't the best choice for water slides...she walked around most of the weekend with her boobs hanging out. Oops!

Silly Dancing

Checking out her bunk beds-I guess Darren has his next woodworking project scoped out!

Notice how short Nadia's legs are compared to everyone else...she wasn't technically tall enough for this one, but thanks to the teenage operator for not paying much attention-she had a blast!

Snow tubing was also at the resort!

Poor DJ being drug everywhere so Nadia could have some fun!

Playing a little Family Feud with Dad

Warming up! Seriously the cutest Moobs I've ever seen.

Our little porker just isn't getting full on formula so we tried some cereal-he knew exactly what to do!

Time Flies!!

OK...it's been way too long since I've blogged. In all honesty, I tried to update this a few months ago and I couldn't upload any pictures directly from my PC so I gave up! So, updates on the past 3 months:

DJ
1. DJ is now 3.5 months old and weighs in at 16lbs-87th percentile! He's a chunk and we're loving it!
2. He is starting to smile all the time and giggle.
3. DJ has slept through the night since he was about 1 month old-I can brag about this since it took Nadia way longer!

Nadia
1. Celebrated her 4th bday in Nov!
2. She is in swimming lessons, music lessons and dance. (Darren had the pleasure of watching her dance seductively and lift up her shirt at class when it was time to 'dance silly.' I was on a work trip and I think he got a few looks from the other parents. :) )
3. Nadia loves to play outside in the snow.
4. Her current fav movie is Peter Pan and she tells us that they will get married one day.

Flamenco Girl!

Nadia/Nora at DJ's baptism...wouldn't stop talking! :)

Life has been busy and fun the past few months. I started back to work (officially) mid January and kicked off my return with a trip to Spain. Thankfully Mom and Dad were here to help Darren. I've been traveling quite a bit already and Darren is handling it like a trooper.
