Whew! Looks like we've got some catching up to do! Apparently it's been about 10 months since my last blog post. I guess that means we've been pretty busy! As predicted, life with 2 babies is very full. From Markus's first shouts in the morning "Daddy! I'm awake!" to the last whisperings as they fall asleep at night, the days are packed with activity and baby talk.
How about a catch-up post in pictures? Seems like a good way to show the passing of time. This may take more than 1 post. And Kira's already crying to be released from the jumperoo, so I may only have another minute.
September 2010: Becoming aware of each other as siblings.
Halloween: Markus is Superman and Kira is a butterfly. Raph is too cool for words.
November 2010: Markus' 2nd birthday. We had a small gathering of family to celebrate.
Then I went ahead and turned 30. We had family and friends meet us at Vino di Vino in Astoria for some wine and gourmet pizza. Am pleased to say I didn't have a turning-30 crisis. After all I've accomplished before reaching 30, I am nothing but grateful to celebrate this milestone!
First Thanksgiving at the parents' new house. And Kira's first Thanksgiving ever.
December 2010: Kira's first haircut!
Kira's first Christmas.
We ended up having Christmas Eve dinner at our house at the last minute, because Markus came down with croup. He was doing much better by then, but we didn't want to move him and make him spend a weekend away from his home when he was feeling so sick. Poor little guy. Thank God Kira didn't catch anything but the sniffles.
New Years Eve, the family wearing our Moose and Zee shirts. Kira's not looking at the camera, but at least we're all in the picture!------
Well, that was a brief round-up of the big moments through the end of 2010. Next post will include fun times we've had thus far in 2011.
