Resort Girl!

Arrabella is our little resort girl! Here she is enjoying our big king size bed.

Reading in bed and cuddling her leopard shark.   

Here she is moments after we got to our suite, relaxing with her bunny like a pro. So funny, I might be bias but she is the cutest thing ever! Love my little mini-me!

William's BIG Surprise!

This March 2015 we surprised William with probably the biggest surprise of his life, yet! We planned a really fun spring break in Kauai with Pamma! He actully did not even know we were going to Kauai. Chris and I packed the bags, without him knowing and told him we were going out to breakfast! 

Here he is sleeping the morning of the BIG surprise.

He is so funny and made a "YES" sign as soon as we got to our suite. 

I think it's safe to say he was pretty excited and he still did not even know about Pamma!

Pamma got to Kauai late in the night after a long travel day from Cabo! William's reaction was priceless! He was literally taken back. We have it all on video! Yay! We love surprises.   

Forest

Today's morning walk in the fairy forest!

A girl and her dog.

These two love the forest. Nora always eats the grass and sticks. Bella likes throwing the sticks and making friends on our forest walks.

Exploring. 

Arrabella @ the Beach

Duckface and beachy hair!

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to all of our dear friends and family! We love you! 

Arrabella is 18 months!

We our so proud of our little girl, who turned 18 months old this past weekend on February 7, 2015!

Dear Arrabella! 

You makes us so happy! We love you so much! You are funny, like your dad. You love to sing, you love books and cats and you love your Nora dog. We think you will be our animal lover. You also love being outdoors a lot, we always have the best time in the fairy forest together. You are growing so much and learning so much everyday! Now that you have the walking thing down, you are really starting to speak and even count and your words are becoming more and more clear, it's wonderful! Sometimes you can be a little shy and you make funny faces that crack us up. You really love your brother and he loves you too. You are very independent like your brother. I love that you are an independent little girl already, dad and I wish to nurture this as you grow into a young lady! You are a girly girl and you know what you want and you make sure your voice is heard.  You are already asking me to paint your nails and you actually let them dry! Currently your very favorite things are your rose blanket from your God mother Sava, a leopard shark, and an owl. You love to eat; fruits, cheese, and sweets are your favorites, and crackers of course. Sometimes we call you "Toon" ( William was "Boon," but both nicknames came naturally and independently), Toonie, Bells, but mostly, Bella. You tell us everything - please keep doing that. You are amazing and we feel lucky to be your parents. We look forward to watching you change and grow into the lovely lady you will become. You are and always will be loved infinitely. 

Sledding Videos

Here are some quick videos we took sledding in Boulder in early January 2015. They are hyperlapse videos so they go very quickly.
