Too busy to blog

Yes, it has been a while. But, I am making a promise to put on photos weekly again. So hopefully it won't be as long next time. Last weekend Gianna and Matt were swinging when she declared, "I want pink nails, daddy." Now, I have not painted my nails since my wedding, so I am not sure where she got this idea, but Matt obliged her (she is just lucky I had nailpolish!).


Fun with hair - Nick's hair is crazy nowdays. We might have to break down and get it cut. Below Gianna and I had matching hairdos. She thought it was great.

Nick had a cute white suit for his baptism, but we couldn't seem to get a good picture of him in it.

Beth is the Godmother.

All the pretty wildflowers in Texas and Gianna had to give a fake smile.

Gianna and Matt's cousin Emily (and the dog).

Gianna and Nick on Easter.

More attempts at wildflower photos.

Nick loves to slide at the park.

Random

I just looked at how TINY Gianna was and wanted to re-share this picture. Hard to believe they start out so small!

We ordered a large canvas of the above photo--I love the look on his face.

Once again, I've been a slacker.

Well, much has happened since the last time I blogged, and I think I added the pics in the wrong order, but here they are. Last weekend Nick turned one (yikes)! It was also great weather so we played a lot outside. This weekend Nick was not so happy. One trip to urgent care later and we are treating yet another ear infection.

Gianna claimed she was "reading mommy's book".

Daddy made a wonderful (and yummy) birthday cake for Nick.

He already has a sense of humor like his dad.

I've been getting cute pictures of Nick lately. He loves to smile.

I think in this picture he looks like me when I was a baby.

Super smile.

Gianna finally really got to ride Curly. She thought she was pretty cool and decided she didn't even need to hold on.

In early February, Gianna had some breathing issues. She got a nebulizer machine and here she is using it.

Recent pics of the kids

Nick is starting to lose his chubby cheeks. Here they are in full glory around Christmas time.

Gianna and Nick enjoying the snow in Wisconsin (I know they look somber, but they had fun).

Gianna and her cousin, Gabrielle.

Gianna helped Grandma Christine make waffles.

Sitting on the potty.

Just like daddy.

For some reason my time management skills have been really bad lately. I just don't seem to have time to blog lately. I will try to be better!

Nick walking

Not the best video, but it is hard to catch him on camera.

Nick is already a toddler

Nick started walking about 3 weeks ago and he also likes to fling himself down the slide on his stomach (in this video he is less aggressive than usual). It is like he is not even a baby anymore (sigh).
