Bad Dream

Around 5:00 this morning I heard Ziga crying in his room. I went in and told him everything was ok and he went back to sleep. This morning before school Janez and I asked him what the bad dream was about and he started smiling and said "naps." I guess some things are just truly dreadful to a 4-year-old ;)

Royals Fan Fest!

Our plans to go to Pitt were put on hold (hope my sister-in-law's kiddies and Starata are feeling better soon!) but we had a fun day anyway. Took the kids to Royals Fan Fest which was very cool. The kid ran the bases, took a pic with Sluggerrr (sp? always confuses me....), and got to eat ballpark food.

Snow, snow, snow.......

And more coming tonight---yikes!!

Ode to the Mini-Van

We bought a mini-van on Sunday. A Chrysler Town and Country Touring. Highly anticipated purchase (I think Janez digs it, although he might not admit it....). I LOVE it...it is so roomy, the doors are automatic (well, one is, we are getting the other one fixed...but they took some $ off the ask price for that), and it is pretty clean for an '05. The kids sit up high and can see a ton. There is a DVD player in case they really CAN'T entertain themselves...with headphones for the kids so parents can rock out to whatever they want to. Navy blue with gray interior. In the shop right now to get a few things fixed--sliding door, brakes a tad squeaky. Note to those shopping for mini-vans--there is less demand this time of year for them (everyone wants 4WD) so try to shop when it is snowy. Next time we probably won't be taking the kids....but hopefully that won't be for a very long time!

First Day of Swim Lessons!

Zala started lessons today---she has been soooooo excited to get in the water like her big brother. Ziga had a private lesson today, thanks to the snow and cold. They were both totally exhausted but had a ball.

December 2010 Pics

December was a great month! We had a few nice days, which means I got maybe one bag of our leaves raked (they are still out there, and covered with snow at the moment!) and the kids went with cousin Avery to see Santa with Grandpa and Gigi (that's when they were dressed up on the stairs). Christmas pics to follow in another album soon....

Ziga's Birthday 2010

Ziga turned 4 on July 12th 2010. We were in Cincinnati visiting family, as my cousin had just gotten married a few days before in Kentucky. We had a wonderful trip! We had Ziga's party the following weekend, and Zala and I drove with Ty and Steve to Cincinnati again a day later to attend my grandmother's funeral. The hectic travel, an exhausting first trimester, and the start of a very busy photography season made this post incredibly late--but to my sweet Ziga, here it finally is--better late than never!

Actual birthday was spent in Cinci with fab cousins Maisie and Max. We had a great day at the water park, compliments of Gigi, and went back to Gigi and Dude's for a delicious cookie cake, specially made by Jenni!

New Year's Resolutions

1) Take more pictures of my amazing family and our everyday moments

2) Actually do something with those pics--post to blogger, start creating scrapbooks (digital is ok too)!

3) Post to the blog once a week....familiar resolution from 2010. Oops.

4) Remember every day that my little angels are only little once--and use good judgement setting boundaries with work and housework so that I can enjoy their sweet faces, beautiful voices, and be a part of their wondrous learning and growing every day
