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

Zala's 2nd Birthday

I know, I know. It has been over 3 months. No good excuse, really, we have just been super-busy!

Questions, questions

Ziga has been especially inquisitive and curious lately. Some of my favorite questions:

Is it dark in our tummies?

How do we talk?

Where is the hole that babies come out of? (Me: That's a really good question, Ziga. What do you think? Z: Oh, it's the belly button, yeah.)

Whew---I wasn't ready for that one!

The Story of Zala's Entrapment

So, the big excitement at the Lomshek home today was Zala locking herself in one of the basement rooms. Ryan, our employee and friend, was kind enough to watch the kids while Janez and I ran over to Ziga's pre-school conference. When I came in the door, I yelled, "How's it going?" and Ryan, who is extremely laid back (and great with kids), yelled back, "NOT GOOD! Zala locked herself in this room!" Ryan felt bad, but keep in mind--this could have happened to any of us. Zala has been this close to being able to twist doorknobs and has been very fond lately of slamming doors in others' faces and saying "bye bye!" I guess has also been intrigued by the lock mechanism on doors as well.

As luck would have it--upon closer examination this room, where we keep a lot of our inventory in the basement, we discover that this door has a lock that requires a key. (Usually I just pick the locks if something like this happens....). We couldn't find a key that worked in the lock, and we couldn't coax Zala to unlock the door, so Janez had to bust the door in. He was quite the hero and Zala was very relieved to be in her mama's arms. Ziga of course was right there in the action and was very helpful in talking to Zala while she was behind the door.

So... we have a new repair to add to our list. Thankfully my wonderful husband came through again tonight and unclogged the disposal for me. Other news: After two days of being fever-free Ziga's fever appears to be back.

Good news--Ziga's conference went great and we are told he is very considerate of others and etc. etc. It sounds like he is doing great at his pre-school (which he loves, and we love)!
