Cancun 2010

Cancun 2010

What a way to celebrate!
Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and early Nai-Nai's birthday!
Cancun visit was great despite the cooler weather that we had or the fact that Micah and Joel both were a little under the weather. All the cousins enjoy playing together. Noah became Eli's little shadow, and Ella became a little caretaker of Joel. This trip marks a little more grown-up Noah. He actually was quite independent swimming with his life-jacket, braved the kayak and innertube at Xel-Ha. Joel still is a little shy with water in general. Definitely we'll have to do the trip again, but may be later in the year, so it would be warmer next time.

Xmas holidays 2009

Another Fitchburg xmas holidays.
What's unique this year is that Noah and Joel have all 4 grandparents visiting.
So much love and attention for the boys.
Of course, Noah loves to see his cousin Nolan. Joel also tries to join in the games now with some success. This year, they seem to get the concept of gifts a bit more, so it's fun to see. And, there was progress made in that the doggies get to roam around now that Noah and Joel are not afraid of them. Noah even offered to keep Holly and Lily for Nah Nit.
Thank you so much for visiting us, everyone.

Pre-Holidays 09

Pre holidays 09

December has been a busy month. We certainly did enjoy the crisp outdoor air.
Even before xmas holidays, Nai-Nai and Ye-Ye came to visit.
So we all took a trip down to Illinois to see some old friends and introduce Noah and Joel to them.
Noah and Joel love to visit their "old friends"-Ikey and Ellie, too.
Right before xmas, despite the forecast of bad weather, we travel Wisconsin style to the Dells and enjoyed the indoor waterpark. Wilderness Lodge is definitely a place to visit again.
