A Traveling We Will Go

Ethan and I tagged along with the grandparents for the 12 plus hour trip to GA for Abbie’s two year old birthday. It was well worth it. The kiddos absolutely loved seeing each other. After talking on the phone everyday, I think they were ready to get to play! We were so glad to have Aunt Janis and Uncle Marvin there, too. It was a great weekend and Abbie had a great birthday. I love my family!

Christmas 2010 Part 2

Our Christmas celebration involved 8 days, 8 adults and 2 toddlers all in one house. It was great fun and great chaos! The kiddos played together. Abbie taught Ethan how to have a tea party. Ethan stayed up late and woke up early… exhausting but very fun. In addition to the children bonding, brother proposed to his girlfriend, LeAnna! We were so blessed to be a part of their special moment. Eric was super thoughtful with his proposal and I’m pretty sure we all cried… well, the girls did at least! This goes down in the books as one of the most special Christmas’ that we have had.

Here are more pictures of the party. The little ones had great fun playing in the pool and in Ethan’s new wagon he got from Gran Gran and Granddaddy.

Family Time

As we were getting ready for the big Ethan and Nguyen birthday bash, we set aside some time to celebrate dad’s birthday and just hang out. Eric and Leanna came in town so this was one of the few times a year my whole family is together. Everybody had a great time! We ate awesome mandarin orange birthday cake, played with toys and laughed. Special memories!

Family Visits

It was so nice to have my family come visit. Abigail and Ethan had a great time playing with each other. They poked and swatted and jump on air mattresses together. Mom and Dad loved having both grandkids in the same place.

Easter In GA continued

Ethan had many “firsts” while we were in GA. He was away from his daddy for the first time. He had his first wagon ride (which he loved)! He and Abbie both loved being outside and riding in the wagon. Granddaddy would even run them up and down the driveway. Super Cute! Ethan also had his first time on a swing. He wasn’t sure what to think at first, but then I think he decided he liked it. We can’t wait for a yard to do fun things like that in more often!

Easter In GA

Emily — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 03:48:42 +0000

Ethan and I road over to Georgia with my parents to visit Amie and Abigail for a week. Nguyen had to work so he couldn’t join us. Ethan did a great job traveling! He was a super good baby. We had a fabulous time visiting with Amie, Rich and Abbie. Mom and I did get a touch of a stomach bug and Abbie had a bad ear infection, so we weren’t at our best. Despite illness we enjoyed our time together.

At The Lewis’

After a fabulous Georgia family thanksgiving, we headed up to Amie and Rich’s new place. We had a wonderful time shopping and hanging out in her newly decorated awesome looking house!

We also got to meet up with the Cipollas for a while. The last time we saw them we pre-giovanni… and I must say, he’s darn cute. Sadly we didn’t get any pictures. I guess we’ll just have to frequent their blog.

We had gorgeous weather that next day so we just had to take a few backyard pictures.

Thanksgiving With Family

Georgia. Did you know we made it to Georgia and back with a 3.5 month old? That’s something like… a bunch of hours away. In over 1500 miles, we lassoed a good chunk of 4 states and a sliver of Florida. Ethan slept most of the way there and back! That’s quite a feat in my book (a book of feats… apparently). He’s destined for great things. I’m sure of it.

We got to spend some time with family at Janis and Marvin’s for Thanksgiving. It was my first time at their house so i got to experience a bit of Emily’s childhood as she went from room to room reliving her past.

As always we had great food and left with some new and wonderful memories.
