Christmas and the New Year

Here are some recent pictures of the kids. Here is Quinn on her new rocking chair. Kya is enjoying the latest and greatest Blues Clues on her new DVD player. As you can see, it didn't take Kya very long to get comfy with the DVD player. We had a great holiday season, they were busy as is expected, but this year Kya really got into the whole Christmas thing. Quinn made it her mission to find every last little piece of scotch tape and try to eat it. We did the family fun a.k.a. White Elephant present exchange at both Jen's moms and Mitch's mom's family gatherings. It is now confirmed Mitch is the worst White Elephant player ever! It is too long of a story to explain here, but let me just tell you this I have drawn #2 every time I have played!

Jen and I have had a very busy January gallivanting across the country traveling for work. For my work I have crammed a years worth of travel into one month, but I have to say spending an extended weekend in Redondo Beach, CA (LA) was very nice. Along with running on the "strand" by the ocean every day, I was able to catch up with a great friend of ours, Kit and see the town a little. Thanks Kit! This week has been interesting for us, this is the first time that we have both been away at the same time. Grandma "Nana" & Auntie Jaime took the duties for the four days we were both gone.

Quinn is growing up fast, as they all seem to. She just recently started to do Baby Signs. She can ask for milk, ask for "more" and say "all done". It seems like yesterday that her belly-button fell off. Kya is adjusting to being a big sister. She loves everything about it, from helping Quinn out and showing how to do stuff to tormenting her by simply holding onto her blanket so Quinn can't have it. I think this is in the 1st Child handbook... sound familiar Chad??? As you can see from the pictures, life it treating us very well. We have two fun, happy and healthy little ladies that enlighten our lives daily.
