Oh....Boy

Well, the pictures have been taken and they were very revealing....It's A Boy!! Kyri is going to be a big sister...and we are so excited! The due date is April 28th, putting Kyri and baby brother 19 months apart. Whenever we talk to Kyri about the baby in mommy's belly she giggles and then tries to pull my shirt up to see for herself. We found out it was a boy 4 weeks ago, but Gary was still not quite convinced so we haven't said anything to anyone (except our family) until now. We had another ultra sound today and there is no more convincing that needs to be done....

Oh....BOY!!

Why We Love The Fall

Why We Love Kyri

she's very independent

she keeps herself entertained (if only she would pick up after herself...)

Golabki

Well, Gary and I have been married for over 2 years now and he finally made me my first Polish dish, Golabki (which is not at all pronounced how it looks) I know the presentation of this dish leaves something to be desired, but I wanted to show off Gary's mad cooking skills. And I have to admit, it was quite delicious! Thanks, love!

2 Tags...I better catch up!

Photo Tag

My friend, Jenn, tagged me and I thought this would be kind of interesting....thanks Jenn!!

the rules are to pick the 4th photo from the 4th folder in your photo library and explain the meaning.

This picture clearly means we bought a boat!! Oh how we wish. Actually, Gary is so big into boats and wakeboarding that this photo clearly belongs to him! He subscribes to several magazines and, apparently, even puts pictures on our computer of boats with people on them that we don't even know! So, there you have it!

I will now tag Nadia, Tammy, Amber, and Britt...can't wait to see your photos!

our little shark

The first few times we tried to put this costume on Kyri she screamed and put her arms through the shark mouth...it was a little humorous. But we sure are glad she finally decided to cooperate! In fact, she's just been wearing her costume around the house for the last couple of days...and the tail moves when she walks...it's SO cute!! And so here you have many photos of our little shark:

nice pose!!

so happy!


Last night (Halloween) she couldn't leave the candy alone...and didn't think it was fair we were giving it to everyone who knocked on the door and not to her, so she snuck some out of the bowl!!

She ended the night by doing a shark dance!
