Three Dog Day

It’s getting to be pretty chilly out there. We’ve had to bundle up, but it’s till fun. The weather hasn’t seemed to bother Odin any though.

Sophie Turns Three!

OMG, it’s been three years since Sophia was born. Doesn’t seem that long, except that she’s HUGE now. (It seems she got that way over night when we came home with Alex).

Anyway, we had cupcakes she decorated and a Cinderella theme (I've seen the movie too many times to mention). She's such a little princess right now - well, a princess who likes to wrestle with the big boys. :)

She had a great time, and so did we. Thanks everyone.

Playing Around

Joe’s taught Sophie a little about football so if you’re playing with her, prepare to hut - hut - HIKE!

Family Trip to the Poconos

For my father’s 60th birthday we wanted to do something really special so we took a family trip to the Pocono’s (this picturesque area of Pennsylvania near the Delaware Water Gap). It was beautiful with the leaves changing color and we got to spend a lot of quality time together (not including the 18 hour drive there and back). All those pictures are on face book at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=40967&id=100000520587348&l=cde1d509a2
There are pictures from the water park at the Great Wolf Lodge (PA’s version). And lots of photos of us hiking the trails at Bushkill Falls. And for the finale we went to my father’s favorite restaurant, Mama’s Pizza, in New Jersey and met the Burger clan for some good east-coast style cheese pie. I haven’t seen many of the family in years, so it was great to catch up and celebrate together.

Hanging With The Big Sis

Sophie really has adjusted to having Alex well. She’ll come tell me when he’s crying and tells me he needs milk. “He’s Ungr-ee,“ she says. She also delights in putting his nuk in his mouth, even when he’s sleeping. She likes to hold him occasionally too.
