Well all I can say is, "whew what a month". It was a great one, but very tiring as well. We had all the grandparents visiting, as well as Mari's birthday and of course everyday life. So here is our month. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
mmmmm prunes! Owen started solids a little early and man does he love to eat.
Riding the gondola yet again.
So now Mari is in swim lessons instead of dance. We decided since she wasn't participating much at dance we would do swimming. We know she loves it and it is cheaper. Can't go wrong. She loves the water.
Owen is sitting up so now he is in the big tub and Mari loves having him in there with her. We of course just need to keep a close watch on him so he doesn't tip over, either by reaching for toys or his lovely sis' trying to pull and splash him.
Grammie and Grampie Quirk came at the beginning of November for Mari's b-day party. It was a lot of fun and they were great help with the party.
Playing at the toy store. It is a great place to go in the winter.
Happy 2nd Birthday to our wonderful girl. I was so proud of myself. I made her cake with fondant and it was so fun.
All of Mari's friends came and were so sweet to her.
Bye-Bye Grammie and Grampie.
The morning of Mari's actual birthday. We had a fun day. Presents in the morning, then swimming and lunch with Daddy.
Our next visitors were Grandma and Grandpa Keating. Aunt Emily came up for a visit as well.
It was a great time and lots of fun activities.
There is a new roller coaster at the mountain.
One of my favorite pics. Owen loves to chew on strings.
Playing with Grandpa.
There was a game room where they stayed and Mari loved bowling. I loved kicking Greg's butt in shuffle board.
Our last visitors were Grandma and Grandpa Nienhouse and Uncle Brian and Aunt Celine. They came for Thanksgiving. It was a great to spend the holiday with family.
Aunt Celine and Owen just hanging out.
They had a little birthday party for Mari. She loved the chocolate frosting (before dinner).
We had a great visit with everyone and look forward to our next visit with you all. Again thanks for everything. We love you all!!
