santa claus is coming to town...

long overdue...many apologies

sorry for the long delay of postings, it's been a busy time of year. we have been enjoying life and have been rediscovering the world through audra and deigan's eyes! look for pics over the next day or two...in the meantime, enjoy the above.

happy holidays to all.

the big 0-3!

audra turned 3; and on her actual birthday she wanted to use her birthday coupon at red robin. the next day she had a big party with friends at go-play cafe. apparently, we have only a few pics because we mainly used the video cam.

off to preschool...

audra started preschool a few weeks back. she's growing up so fast...

hanging with mimi...

over labor day weekend we packed up the family truckster and headed eastward to baltimore. we visited with the maddens, the NY gigas, cousin krystal and baby fiona from DC and aunt judy from alexandria. thanks to all for the great times.

outer banks 2010...

our first trip to the beach as a family. we went with good friends, the pennywise's and kaufold's, and had an amazing time. audra loves the sun and the water while deigan loves to bury his head in the sand.

back from vacation...

we took our first family vacation; have tons of pics to sort thru and post - will do so as soon as we can. getting back in the normal routine and groove takes a bit...

more photos to come...

work has been crazy busy. kids are getting bigger and gaining more and more personality each day. one minute they love each other, the next the can't stand each other. they're turning into quite the mold of a true 'brother and sister'.

big goofy bunny...

yo gabba gabba LIVE...

audra had a date with daddy to the LIVE kids' show of "yo gabba gabba." even though it was a bit overstimulating with all the lights, sounds, dancing characters, and screaming kids - audra loved it. daddy even enjoyed it enough to dress up like one of the characters - the one, the only; DJ Lance Rock.

finally - getting outside!

it was time to dust off the play set and get it ready for the warmer weather...

proud man...

silly sibs...

after bath time and right before bed time, the goofyness continues...

mommy, pooh, and audra sue...

so proud...

audra and grandma made a nice ginger bread house; and we now have grandma to thank for audra's constant desire for gum-drops ;)

lady ga-ga's littlest fan...

don't worry; we were parked in the driveway...

taking a break to pose...

under quarantine...

we've had some nasty virus tearing through our household recently that has taken us all out of commission. we are recovering, slowly but surely, but it just doesn't seem to end. the following are mainly random pics pre-virus attack ;)

new bath...

finally got our bathroom remodeled, so the kids are once again enjoying bath time - even when they're sick.

and more...

again, still sick...

more sib shots...

apologies for the delay, but we have all been taking turns being sick. it seems as though it will not end. so in the meantime, while we hopefully get better, enjoy some random vine kid pics...
