We are still here!

We have been busy I guess....  Or may not that busy???
Jeff was away for a week and while he was away we all were sick and had the stomach bug.  He had it too while traveling for work.  I am sure they all loved having him in NH and spreading the bug around!!  Then Liam got an ear infection and I am thinking another version of the stomach bug.  We have been clear since Weds night so finger crossed that was it!!!!  I am also hoping that the mouth full of teeth that are moving come soon... the poor little guy is in pain.  It does not interrupt his sleep but when he is awake he is cranky... who wouldn't be with 6-8 teeth on their way!

here are some pictures from the past 2 weeks or so...

Open Gym Time

Emma and Ryan opening LIAM's Birthday git from Kate and Lincoln!

Liam says THANK YOU for thinking of him on his special day!!  Can't you see he enjoyed opening his gift:)

The crazy 1 year old!!

 They love playing in each others beds.  It allows me to put away clothes with out them destroying the room behind me:)

Got his surfing coat on and ready to go to Marco!

Practicing gymnastics

BIG boy sitting at the table watching the snow (which he has not seen much of this year!!)

LOVE tackle!

 Happy Valentine's Day:)

and 

Birthday to Papa!

When he sees the camera he shuts his eyes.

This is how he sits!  Such wonderful manners!

She doesn't look too happy but she LOVED the skirt from Mema and papa for Valentine's day and she wore it around all day!

Someone is NOT a fan of playing in the snow...

 What is his problem???

 Today we had a birthday party for our friend Zoe and "Emma" decorated the wrapping paper for her present. We had fun doing that before the party. 

Closing his eyes again!

Looking good in his fleece from the Goode's for his birthday!

Liam is hoping for a "warm" sunny day for the St. Patrick's day parade

Liam was loving the party!!

Check out that drool!!!

Zoe's brother Alex.  Alex is just a couple months younger then Liam

 I promise Emma had fun!  All the pictures I have of her are blurry:(  I think her favorite part was the juice box though;)!!

Right after this she asked to go home....  Then when she woke up from her nap was saying her ear hurt....hmmmmm we will see what tomorrow brings!!

Go orange

In our orange and blue.  As emma would say AHHHHHH A MONSTER IS COMING!!  Poor Liam monster;)

a little more birthday fun!

Balloon Time 

Was hoping to get some cute photos of him standing and walking with the Balloons but he really wanted nothing to do with them.  He looked at them like he was seeing a ghost!

Mema and Papa came home from Florida to celebrate Liam's 1st birthday with him!

Showing of for the guest:)

Mema I missed you!!

wasn't so sure about the cake or maybe it was the singing???

Watch what I will do...

First I will peck at it...

taste it...

yeah that was good!

I am going in for MORE!

Happy Birthday Again!!  We never do birthday's just once in this family:)  He is going to wonder where the party and gifts are this weekend!  If anybody wants to send some I am sure he would LOVE them;)  Unfotrunately for him I think the birthday gifts are done until next year!

Eric Carle

This was not planned... Liam had a Hungry Caterpillar Birthday and after I took a picture of Emma I laughed....

We had the Hungry Caterpillar

And...

The Grouchy Ladybug:)

C-A-K-E!

I think it is safe to say that Liam liked cake!!!!  He did not like it on his hands so he just "bobbed" for cake! 

More to come:)

We have a walker

I can not believe that yesterday Liam was taking 2-4 steps and today... walking all over!! 



Emma has LOVED that he is walking.  She tells him he has to hold her hand and they do it together!  She is constantly trying to hug him which then knocks him down.  It has been so fun watching them together today.  They had such a fun time and were laughing so hard Liam would keep falling down. 
Moments like this made me realize that staying home to see this is worth it!  I might not be able to buy all the things I want for them but witnessing moments like these made me forget about those wants!!
I will get a few more videos up tomorrow.
