Roaring '20's

Rick and I had a blast Saturday night with our friends at a Prohibition Party benefitting the Lone Star Paralysis Foundation. Rick one first place in the costume contest as "Best Bootlegger"!

Cris and I were dance partners in the Charleston dance contest and one 1st place!!! We had great "jazz hands" :)

Saturday Around Town

A few pics from our errands on Saturday. First stop, shoe store. Here is Zoe charming the sales girl-

And our other little charmer-

Zander stayed entertained with his video game (thanks Nana and Lalo!)

Fun times at Chik Fil A...they are finally old enough for their own kid's meals, though they liked the fruit best.

The twins agree that Costco samples are awesome!

And lastly, a budding romance at supper club between Zoe and Cooper.

Welcome Laurence!

We are super excited to welcome our new Au Pair from Belgium, Laurence (a.k.a.-Elle Jay). It has taken no time at all for us to love her and we look forward to a fantastic year!!! Here she is with Zack who was hoping for dessert after BBQ at the Saltlick-

Zander has his first loose tooth!

Sweet Ruby-

Crate Training

With 2 darling 20 month olds and a sweet puppy, at least one of my "toddlers" has a cage! :)

Morning Sweetness

Warm & Cozy

Thank you Mom & Joe for our fantastic Christmas Present! After 2 years of an empty fireplace, we had a wonderfully warm fire, just in time for the coldest winter night yet! (Doors are on order to keep Thing 1 & 2 away from the exciting new toys.)

Happy New Year!

Wishing all of you the very best in 2010! Today we enjoyed a great New Year's dinner with dear friends of 12-15 years! Ten kids between us now, and we had a great time starting the new year right!
