This has been the longest hiatus we've ever taken from the blog. Sorry for our extended absence, but it's been an exhausting fall. I have been completely knocked out by the combination of first trimester exhaustion, adjusting to not having Nana around any more, and being very busy with work and the girls!
For those of you who don't know yet, we are expecting a new addition to our family in May of this year. We are very excited to meet our third little girl. Audrey was initially disappointed to find out that we were having another girl, but she has quickly warmed up to the idea.
Audrey and Lillian started a new school in September and having been doing really well. They have a lot of fun and are learning so much. Audrey proudly tells everyone that she is 4 and 3/4 and is excited to turn 5. She is starting to read, which is very exciting for us.
Lillian is almost two now! Her speech is progressing very quickly, and while it isn't always clear, she is able to say short sentences. My current favorite that she says is, "I like that song!" She is still a big music fan. She is still on the small side, but seems to be doing well in her physical development. She loves to dance and jump.
Although I've been tired, we've still managed to have lots of good times this fall.
We went to visit Uncle Dave (and his new fiancee Aya) in Central Park:
We had lots of fun celebrating Halloween:
Ingrid, Audrey, Kira and Lillian:
Audrey continues to show her flair for fashion:
Out for a walk with the Garcia's at Forbidden Drive:
And we had a great visit when Auntie Chrystal, Cousin Adele & Jonny and Papa came to town:
Audrey and Adele were very big girls and had their own table at the restaurant:
And they had a blast at the Please Touch Museum:
We have had several snowfalls this year, which Audrey is always excited about!
Audrey had her Christmas recital for ballet, they did Rudolph.
We had multiple Christmases! This was our early Christmas in Philadelphia before we left for Toronto:
Audrey and Lillian had so much fun with all the cousins in Toronto. Here she is with Sofia.
These are almost all the kids of the cousins on Michael's dad's side of the family:
Big cousins and the little cousins:
One of my favorite photos - Audrey realizing that Santa was her Avo (Michael's dad). She ran up to me to tell me that his hand looked familiar and that it sounded like Avo.
The cousins on Michael's mom's side. This was the best we could do!
Uncle Dave and Auntie Aya came to visit for New Year's Day and Uncle Dave made us some yummy french toast!
We are so excited to see what the new year will bring. We are looking for a house to buy and hope to move this spring. Then the baby will arrive just in time for summer! I will do my best to keep everyone more up to date. We wish you all a wonderful new year!!
