We Had A Good Run

After a month of good health and good times, we are stalled fighting quite a bit of illness again.  It was a good run.   We took advantage of it.  We got out, tried new things, and really enjoyed our evenings worry free knowing our kids were sleeping soundly (not the case right now).  I have had quite a bit of girl time lately, even went out dancing.  Nate finally made it out for some skiing.  We took Lily on a lot of adventures from a crazy huge indoor water park to sledding, ice skating to trampoline jumping.

Here are some pics and videos from the last couple of weeks.

Taking good advantage of the ice skating rink across the street from us.

 Play date with some of her friends from her Kindergarten class

 You might recognize this is the Oktoberfest location but it's also a great sledding spot.
 Paul and Elise taking full advantage of Lily's room while she's at school.



 Lily enjoying a playdate with a Kindergarten friend.  They share the exact same Bday.

Paul's silly side as well as his voice has definitely emerged strongly lately.  It's a bit long but you really get an idea of how Paul acts these days.



 Elise took some steps at 11 months but hasn't done too many since until just the other day again.  I assume her foot has something to do with it but she is going for it anyway.  Really proud of her.


Here is a random dinner moment of P and E and I would call this a raging success for a family dinner.

Bike and a Dance

Happy New Year!  Captured a couple nice moments recently, wanted to share.  The first is of Lily on her new 2 wheel bike.  I did not expect to have to run to keep up.  I guess all the practice on her balance bike made it a smooth transition.  The other one is a cute one of Paul and Elise doing some light dancing while sitting.  Elise has a more violent style while Paul does a "Frankenstein playing piano" move.
