Kauai . . . oh how we miss it!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Nana and Grandpa invited the Einstein Clan to join them at their thier timeshare. It was the perfect time of year to get away to the sun and the surf.

The Einstein clan- but we missed Will, Brooke, Emma and Lucy!

Nanna had a great time with her grandkids! And we appreciated all her help watching them.

Lilly loved the giraffe- she even sat in the giraffe in the condo! "Swimming pool please!"

Lilly's Favorite part other than "swimming with the whales" was watching the sunsets and counting the stars! A gal who loves nature .. . but how could you not love these sunsets.

Daddy's Birthday

This year we had many celebrations for ChrisO- The best part of these celebrations is that Lilly now sings "Happy Birthday to you. . ." She thinks that every day is Daddy's birthday. She has also learned about Birthday cake and ice cream.

3.5 hrs in the rain for a H1N1shot

We waited 3.5 hrs in the pouring rain for the H1N1 shot. (ChrisO took Lilly away for some of it, while I waited in line). Don't worry Lilly your health is worth every minute of it especially after this virus knocked ChrisO out for 2 weeks. But the exciting part was that the entire family was interviewed by the local news station about the wait!

more singing

Lilly will not stop singing. We sing in the car - since Mommy does not have a good stereo and she sings at school. The teachers write down the words because we don't know all the songs. The only problem is that we don't know the toons. Luckily, Lilly is learning them so quickly.

Sing-a-long

Thjs is too cute!

Lilly The Lion

We finally had the magic touch and got Lilly to wear her lion costume on Halloween night. She ran around like a wild child for a good half hour, and even gave some good roars to the audience. We ended up having a very relaxing weekend at Whidbey Island with Kate & Will and Melissa & Todd, who were visiting from Cleveland. The previous weekend we toured a pumpkin patch in Yakima, as we got to visit Nana O and Papa, as well as Uncle Dave, Aunt Kadie, Cece & Jack.

FIrst view of halloween

Lilly's school - the Mount does a parade. She refused to wear the lion costume. Luckily, I got the body on and she was just fine. I think being around other kids dressed up helped. We will post more later. . . .

He other buddies are Stella and Anastasia.
