Josie and Jace discover Maui

This was, by far, one of my favorite vacations.  Enjoy the show!

Cousins are the best

Josie and Jace's cousins came to visit over spring break. It was so great having a house full of kids and excitement. It was a bit weird that I was enjoying cooking and cleaning up after 4 kids...until they all left. Then I realized how happy I was that it was over. Mica and Josie are so wonderful together. Josie never complained or fussed whenever Mica was nearby. Come over anytime Mica and Eli....we love you both so much.

Bye Grandpa

My Grandpa Max passed away this week. He was 94 years old. The youngest of a half dozen children to Gustav & Helene Felder who immigrated here from Austria in 1906. He was quite a man. A love of math, bridge, music, food, science, politics, investing, movies, technology, and humor. He was such a sharp dresser, too. I have so many great memories of visiting him and Grandma in NYC and Florida, also playing lakeside in Maine. I will miss him, but I imagine a beautiful reunion with him and my Grandma. I went to visit him just a couple months ago so he could meet his first great grandchild, Josephine Minna. Since then, he has met another great-grandchild (Ada Grace) and has learned there another little girl on the way. Thinking of you, Grandpa.

They grow up so fast, don't they?

Let the travels begin

Josie is 4 months old, I am back to work, and life is getting a bit more exciting these days. January started out with a family trip to Anacortes, WA and ended with some sunshine in Phoenix. February will be equally as exciting with 2 east coast trips planned. Enjoy some photos!

Passport

Trying to capture her best for her passport photo. She wouldn't stop talking to the camera...I was cracking up.

3 months already?!

What the hell happened to the time? My maternity leave is over, my daughter is 3 months old already and it's 2012. Time just zips by when you are playing with this little dollface. Her new tricks are swatting at her hanging toys, sucking her thumb whenever she feels like it, talking ALL the time, and my personal favorite...the giggling. I am also a sucker to the flirty bashful smile she does when she wants to be ubur cute. She already loves her childcare lady (and our dear friend), so that's a relief! Her Grandma is visiting from Maine this weekend, more pics of that visit soon.
