Beauty Sleep?

   

Naptime is more fun when it's UNDER the bed.

Light as a Feather...

Stiff as a board.

Geek to Chic

Why every man loves sweaters.

ils sont magnifiques!

They may be short and stubby, but Erin's little fingers make some of the most amazing creations.

Odyssey Fun World.

Brookfield Zoo

You are what you eat.

This is especially true if you're a cannibal—which we aren't...we just prepare the food.

Happy Days

Adeline started sleeping through the night. 

Her expression sums up the feelings of her parents.

Daddy Jungle Gym

Who needs the monkey bars when you got Dad?

Vievie-Lu-Who

Genevieve nailed the auditions and won the role of Cindy-Lu-Who. 

We're all very proud but the late night rehearsals are starting to get old.

Bobble Head's Delight

Sorry, if you want to see it you'll just have to be a bobble head too.

Biker Chicks

Next years Christmas requests are in....

Matching Leather Chaps.

Beware: Frog's Breath

The caterpillar didn't stand a chance.

We warned Genevieve not to get too close... oh well.

Rakozy's? I'd say so...

Can you blame her?

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Hope you all are doing wonderful. I realize it's been awhile since I've blog–life's been busy—but hopefully this new year you'll be seeing more posts from us (it's one of our many resolutions). In the meantime, please enjoy our musical rendition of Silent Night.

Hello AC.

The other day I was able to spend the whole day with Genevieve. I gotta admit, as tiring as she can be it feels great when she wraps her arms around your neck and puts her head on your shoulder. Beth's great with her, teaching her animal sounds and new words.

The other day we were watching the political conventions, whenever the republican logo appeared on screen Genevieve would make her elephant sound so of course we rewarded her with some peanuts.

Gweetar Lesson Numero Uno

I'll have her reading tab in no time.

Bear Attack

We told Genevieve not to feed the bears but she didn't listen. Kids can be so defiant at that age.

Pig o' war

Grass stains

Carnivore

Teething one year old + beef jerky = happy parents.

Cottage Cheese

Two weekends ago Beth, Genevieve and I attempted to escape suburbia by traveling to Coloma, Wisconsin. We rented a lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere. It was heaven.

Hot Potato

Binge Baby

We knew it was time to pull the plug on Genevieve's bingefest when she started burping the ABC's.

Hello Sugar!

She clearly has a problem and is in denial. Hopefully the intervention we are organizing will help her realize her addiction and get her on the road to recovery.

Men Stuff

Dad and I had a little bonding session with the RC plane. Dad successfully shot down eleven German aircraft, a Japanese Zero and a rather large seagull, before crash landing on ally soil.

Doghter

So far our experiment to allow Genevieve to be raised by dogs has proven to be successful. Not only has she been crawling on all fours but she is also barking full sentences. The vet says she is in the 90th percentile in weight and length.
