It's COLD!!!

We are really feeling the cold now. We have freezing temperatures day after day and it snows at least every other day. Today there was wind blowing at over 40mph. Let's just say Baby David and I stayed inside while Andrew bravely shoveled.

Check out Baby David's fangs

When we returned from our 3 weeks away it was very, very cold. We had a few presents that we didn't get to before Christmas (we raced to the airport), so we enjoyed our own little holiday (surprisingly with a fairly decent tree). David really enjoys his new books, this one in particular shows off his new fangs when he smiles.

Here is another picture of David at 7 months now, very heavy and quite the eater, showing off his teeth.

A few more days on the west coast

When we returned from Hawaii, we spent a few more days in California. The time went by very quickly, visiting with more friends and trying to pack up after being gone for 3 weeks. We sure enjoyed everyone and miss you all so much.

Out to lunch with the girls

So Happy!

A week in paradise aka Kauai

The day after Christmas, Andrew, Baby David and I joined Grandma Mary and Grandpa Keith for a wonderful week in Kauai. The trip was tough, as the plane was packed David spent most of the 5 and a half hours on my lap. But it was all worth it! We stayed in a timeshare condo, where we would wake up to the sound of the crashing waves. Thanks to David I was up every morning to enjoy the sunrise. The weather was incredible! We tried to soak it all in before returning home. We spent days relaxing at the beach, watching Daddy bodybaord and even playng in the ocean ourselves. We also had the opportunity to see the island through the eyes of some locals, Stephen (Daniel's college roommate) and his girlfriend Jenelle showed us around and took us to some fun places. We miss it so much, especially now that we are back at freezing temps!

Catching up on the Holidays

We are finally back from all our travels. Happy New Year to everyone and we hope you had a great Christmas with your friends and family. Ours was very good. We spent 3 weeks away from our home. The first week we were at my parents' place back in Southern CA. It was really nice to be back and enjoy some time before Christmas with visiting with old friends and relaxing at home with family.

We ate lots of Chicken!

Next we spent Christmas eve watching our superstar niece Marissa performing a solo during the Christmas program at Cornerston Church. Check her out:



We also relaxed at Andrew's Grandma's house before heading back to my parents to open presents. It was nice, we started much earlier than usual it order to have our Baby David be awake for some of the time. He did great, his favorite was the paper, typical. It was a fun time with the family.

Cheeky Monkey!

The next day we started preparing for our big trip to Hawaii and spent the day with the Felch family at Andrew's grandma's house. Before heading over there, we stopped by to visit with David's other great-grandma (Grandma Mary's mom) in Downey. Baby David enjoyed watching all the cats at her house.

Can't keep my eyes off my Great-Grandma Neubauer's cats

Finally we made it to my other Great-Grandma's house and spent a nice evening with the family and enjoying her delicious cooking. Baby David and I were both a little sick with a cold, but we still enjoyed our time.

Well that's plenty for now, that was just our first week away, tomorrow I will upload more fun :)
