Family Photo Session

Here are our beauties...

We really love all the photos taken by a talented friend last week.

It was hard to narrow down a few to post here.

Interesting thing about this family photo - baby Zaruba #3 is hiding in there!

We aren't due until late March but the best part of being pregnant now... sharing the experience with my sister, step-sister AND sister-in-law who are all due early 2012!




5 Years!

Somebody turned FIVE this month! Wow, where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday we were holding our little boy for the first time. Ian, your contageous smile continues to light up our days. We are so proud of you!

We did a Cars 2 Party fit for a car lover.





a few more pics are on the cake blog under Cars 2 birthday

July Snapshots

We had Hannah & Andrew at our home for a week ~ the kids were in heaven!

We did some fun things: trip to the beach, Bay Beach Amusement Park, Go-Karting, Packer Practice (below). The big kids were really helpful & loving with the little kids :)


Also that week, the tooth fairy made her first visit. A gold dollar in exchange for a tooth that the little guy just couldn't part with in the end. He had yanked it out all by himself & he has his tiny tooth in a baggie & looks at it now & again. (We believe he may be destined for a medical career)

The week prior we had cousins Greyson & Lyla visiting. I didn't take many pics that week but here we are at a traditional Door County fish boil & the excitement of it all put Greyson right to sleep. My kids seemed to enjoy!



Chicago

We took a mini-trip to Chicago last month to catch up with Brian's longtime buddy, Jon... and his wife, Kiera & 2 kids. The kids were well matched & had a blast together!

Navy Pier (hot, hot day but beautiful!)
The best kid photo I could get

Okay, this photo is important because it shows the pure excitement on our kids' faces as we await entry into LEGOLAND discovery center!

What a cool place (especially for our Lego maniac!)

He was all smiles for R2D2

This is what I got...
