I LOVE my Family!

I finally got to see my brother the other night when I was working at St. Anthony's North!

Quite the handsome young man!

My beautiful and wonderful sister will be joining us in Hawaii this weekend!

Tomorrow we leave for Hawaii! I'm soooooooooooooo excited!

Babbling

On Saturday Keira realized how much fun it is to make more fun words! She started saying "na na na, ga, da, and others. She also loves clicking with her tongue on the roof of her mouth! She's so proud of herself and she just loves it! She's such a cutie!

She loves her doggy!

The other night Chris read to her and it was the sweetest thing! It was even a really cute Disney book with really sweet rhyming words. I loved watching them!

Ready for Spring!

These past few days have been glorious with highs in the 50s! I love the warmer weather and CAN'T WAIT for spring!!! I've even started running again (a pretty optimistic phrase since I've only gone twice) which has been wonderful!

Keira is starting to prepare for her tropical vacation in T minus two weeks! We can't wait! However, she was not excited about the sunglasses or the hat!

You can't really see them at all but Keira looked pretty cute in the sunglasses she tolerated for about a minute on our beautiful walk.

Five Years=New Rings

Last week something tragic happened. The main diamond fell out of my wedding ring. :-( I was devastated. At 1:30am I realized it and called Chris at work in tears. It has to be in the house somewhere but I haven't had any luck finding it. I've been avoiding vacuuming, but I think I'll have to bite the bullet tomorrow and hope that it turns up.

However, there is some good news! Being that we couldn't find the diamond, I can't live without my wedding ring, and it is our five year anniversary this month, we got an even bigger diamond to replace the old. And it is a beauty! I've never been into expensive things and never thought I'd want a bigger diamond- But wow, it is gorgeous! I could just stare at my ring! I LOVE IT!

And then earlier this week Chris decided to get a wedding ring tattoo. It's something he's been thinking about for years because he hates to wear his wedding ring because he thinks it's uncomfortable and sometimes gives him a rash. Now he's stuck with me forever! ;-)

Keira's Buddy

Keira got to have another play date with her cute little boy friend Gabriel. It was amazing how much closer in age they seemed this time. They're about two months apart and he always seemed so much bigger! But now they seem much closer. I hope he taught her some better eating habits. I now realize it becomes easier! But then it will probably become a little harder as they become more independent and opinionated. Mariana also showed me how to make baby food so hopefully I'll start that soon!

Mariana and Gabriel

Keira was introduced to Baby Einstein movies and was kind of interested in it. She especially loved all of Gabriel's fun toys!
