First Time Ice Skating

Cara's friends Pacie and Bryce (twins that live down the street) had an ice skating birthday party! Cara was pretty nervous to try skating for the first time but she did great!

Once she got her hand on this little walker she was in heaven.  Skating all over the place!

What a super fun birthday party!

7 Months Old

Happy 7 Months William!  You are such a joy and happy baby!  You have 7 teeth!  You scoot and roll around but not yet crawling.  You love baby food, table food and anything that involves eating.  You constantly try to eat whatever you see someone else eat.  You are wearing 6-9 months clothes and size 3 diapers.   You still are good at breastfeeding despite all those teeth!  You light up like the sun when your sister gets home or walks in the room!  You adore watching her!  Love you buddy!

A Visit from Befana!

In Italy on January 6th the Christmas Witch Befana delivers stockings to children. Aunt Cyndi always made sure Befana mailed a stocking of goodies to Cara to celebrate Befana and she continues the tradition!

Lots of great little toys and surprises!

She loves the speical treats that Befana brings!

My 3 most favorite people in the world!

Happy New Year 2013!

First time in big bathtub!

Will was making quite a mess with splashing in his infant bathtub so it was time to move him up! He loved the extra room and splashing that comes with the big bathtub!

Happy clean boy!

Children's Museum

We wanted to go to the Children's Museum while Cara was on Christmas break and they were still celebration Jolly Days!  It was pretty crowded because everyone else had the same idea!

Will's first time on the carousel

Cara loved it too!

The winter slide!  Cara and I started at the same time but by the time I got Will settled she got to the bottom way quicker!

Will's First Significant Snow!

 The day after Christmas we got a pretty good snow at our house!  So we had to bundle up the kids to introduce William to the snow

Mommy busted out the sled on the driveway!  Cara didn't want to try it because you slide right into the street but it was fun!

Christmas 2012

All ready and waiting for the kids to wake up!

Santa surprised Cara with the horse stable from American Girl that she has been wanting for years!
