Milostone: Champion Swimmer and Diver

Milo has a love for the water that only can be genetically inherited from his father.  We have enjoyed swimming all summer and I have loved watching his progress.  Milo wants and also thinks he is a Champion swimmer (i.e. Olympic swimmer).  I think he is pretty close.

Teeth and Enjoying the Ride

OJ at 1  year - check out that awesome smile!

Cardboard boxes bring so much enjoyment.  No need for toys here!

 Kyle's new ride.

Little Miss Ollie turned ONE!

Our little OJ is one. I can't believe it. For our happy, mostly delightful baby's birthday, we had a Little Miss Sunshine party. Our families came out, we grilled, ate, went swimming and ate cake and ice cream.

We love you little Ollie, OJ, OllieBallie, Juice and Sunshine.

We love...

the snow

our friends,

and each other.

I'm going to miss the snow, who knows maybe it will snow more. At least we got one big snowman in this year- Thanks to our friends.

For Cousin Ella: Ella Submarine

Milo's rendition of "Yellow Submarine". I love this boy.

Milostones: For Grandma and Grandpa in Russia

Thursday - We went on a walk/bike ride. Ollie pushed her little car half way around the block and then she figure out that it was way more fun to be pushed.

She braved walking on her own that night...the attempt was successful.

We took Milo skiing Saturday. He is skiing all by himself. What a champ! He loves it and he can't wait until we go again. It has been so fun to see the progress he has made this season.

Happy Heart Day
