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.

The Newest 4 Legged Kuhn!

Yes-I said 4 legged! For those who know Darren, I never thought that I would post that we now have a DOG let alone say that we have a small, lap dog that is a house pet. If Halloween didn't prove that he'd do anything for his daughter, this definately does!!

Nadia has been wanting a puppy for a while now and Patches sort of fell into our laps. A colleague of Darren's got him for her girls a few months ago and unfortunately one of the girls was very allergic to him. So, he found his way to us.

What's up little dude?

The 3 babies

She's not excited at all!

We surprised Nadia with him and she was SO excited. Patches is a Yorkshire Biewer and the best little puppy. He LOVES Nadia. I've never seen a puppy who takes so much interest in a 3 year old, but he loves to sit on her lap and play with her. We are so happy with him!

The newest 2 legged Kuhn!

Darren's Grandpa used to always call the Kuhn's the 2 legged Kuhn's. :) We are excited to announce the newest addition! Dane Joseph (DJ) was born on Thursday, Nov 1st at 7:45 a.m. He weighed 7lbs 13oz-a full 3lbs heavier than his sister when she was born!

Twas the night before baby!

The 'bunny'

First time I got to see DJ!

Nadia loved my bed! Caribou hot chocolate, my ipad and a bed that has buttons...what more could a 3 year old ask for?

Let's get out of here!!



DJ has been such a good baby! We've been home for 2 nights and so far, we've only had to get up once/night to feed him. He only cries when he's hungry and is just a calm little guy!

My parents are staying with us for a few weeks to help out. It has been SO nice to have them here. They cook, they clean and they help give some attention to Nadia. Nadia and YaYa had a slumber party last night in the basement.

Life is really good in the Kuhn house! We are so thankful for good health, family and friends!

A Fairy Halloween!

Most of you have seen pics of Darren and my Dad on facebook, but there are never enough men in tights on the Internet! We had such a fun Halloween. My parents and Darrell and Dorita were all here and Nadia loved having everyone around to see her in her costume and take her trick or treating.

The Crew-Yes Darren has wings on!

Nadia loves the movie Thumbelina so we (Darren not included) decided that Nadia would be Thumbelina, Darren could be Prince Cornelius and Dad could be the bumble bee - Buzzbe that the prince flew on. :) Oh did I have some fun with this!! Thankfully, Darren and Dad are great sports. Nadia decided that Yaya would be a witch and me a pumpkin. We got off pretty easy!

I like your wings PaPa!

My last Odouls EVER!

Dorita had Darren put shorts on. :)

This and That

We went bowling a few weeks ago and they even had a little pair for Nadia! Jessica and Kevin were staying with us for the weekend and Darren wanted to get some pointers from Kevin.

Loser buys shots!

Play time with Dad

I think Darren is excited to have a boy-what a good Dad!

Playing with sparklers in the garage...in their princess crowns. :)

Nadia has enjoyed pregnant Mommy who always has sweets in the house

10 Days to go!!!!!!!!!!
