Little Friends

Mae and Aliya are little buddies and enjoy playing together. Of course, they both want whatever toy the other one is playing with. It's really cute to watch them interact.

Aliya still doesn't really have enough hair to do much with it, but we're trying the one ponytail look occasionally

Awwwww Daddy and his little girl, what a precious sight! I came home and found the two of them on the couch like this - soooo cute!

It's play time with her favorite pot!

28 weeks!

We can hardly believe that in about three months we are going to be blessed with another little baby!! The baby is very active especially at night and is really good at helping to keep me awake during meetings when I'm tired, what a little helper already. Now we just have to pick a name and do some rearranging of rooms.

PA Farm Show

We went to the Pennsylvania Farm Show with the Schreibers and ate lots of good food, saw all kinds of animals and checked out the tractors. Aliya had fun sitting on the tractors and looking at all of the animals. We were very surprised by how crowded it was. The place was swarming with people it was so crowded it was hard to move.

13 Months

Our little girl is already 13 months old!

Back home

Another Birthday Party!

We had a birthday party for Aliya on Friday, Jan. 1 for our families since they were not able to celebrate with us for her actual birthday in December. It was a fun day. Aliya and her cousin Isabel wore matching dresses. Aliya loved her birthday cake. With all of these birthday parties and Christmas she is going to think that she gets presents every day! :o)

We finished our trip to Wisconsin with dinner at La Fuente. What a great way to end a wonderful trip! We had a great visit with everyone!

Aliya with her aunt Blanca and uncle Doug.

Yummy cake!

Little princess!

Cute cousins!

Christmas Day 2009

We spent Christmas Day with Jen's family up in Plymouth at her parent's house. It was a lot of fun playing Wii and hanging out with family. It was very nice to be back in Wisconsin to spend Christmas with our families.

Aliya was exhausted after a busy Christmas. She took a nap in her own rocking chair. This chair was my greatgrandma's chair.

Aunt Judy and grandma and grandpa.
