A Visit From Fiona

September 29th, 2011 · No Comments

Last Sunday Killian, Liz and Fiona came over for a visit and to watch the Bears take on the Packers. Killian came over at the start of the game and after the first half he and Dallas and I went up on the roof to grill the leftover kalbi ribs from my birthday barbecue. Liz and Fiona arrived just in time for dinner and the second half of the game, although, who could pay attention to the game when we had such and adorable baby to play with. Also, by that time it was clear that the Packers were going to win!

Everyone loved the ribs. Dallas said they were even better than at my birthday party. Fiona even sucked on a rib or two and seemed to like it. I think Killian was a little annoyed when I was trying to make her cheer for the Packers! It was nice to see Fiona again. She’s starting to show her personality more and can scoot around on the carpet. The last time we saw her was on the day we returned from our wedding trip (she was born on our wedding day) and she was only a few weeks old!

Meeting Fiona

March 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment

When we got to Chicago from Hawaii, we took a cab home, dropped our bags off and immediately walked over to Cozy Corner for breakfast. After filling out bellies we went home… and slept.. and slept. So tired. Long vacation, plus a red eye flight!

When we finally got up we went over to Killian & Liz’s house. They didn’t make it out to Hawaii for the trip because they were expecting their baby to be born.. and guess what? She was born on our wedding day! We will never forget exactly how old Fiona is. Also, we might never make it to her birthday party. haha.

So, it was fun to meet Fiona. She is only about a week old in this photo, although she’s over a month old now.

Kelly & Jeff’s Holiday Party

January 3rd, 2010 · No Comments

On the second day of the year 2010, we went up to De Pere (near Green Bay), WI for my cousin Kelly and her husband Jeff’s holiday party. I’d only been to their house one time before and Dallas had never been there so we were long overdue!


Kelly & Jeff

My parents, my brother’s family, Kelly’s mom my Aunt Sue, my other cousin Kelly and her daughter Katie, and my cousin Sara’s family all came over. Jeff made a big pot of chili and cornbread and Sara brought cornbread muffins as well. There were lots of dips and sweets to round the meal out. ha. Here’s a photo of my brother and sister-in-law since apparently I didn’t mention them at all the last time I saw them and it cannot be implied that they were present without proof. haha.


Richard & Amanda

Steph got a guitar for Christmas so she was practicing with a book. My Aunt Sue was also showing her how to do some things.

Margo is only about 3 months old.

I tried to take a photo of Jessica and Tessa, but it is hard.


Tessa, Jessica

This always happens:

Bribed to hold still.

Charlotte happily posed for a photo.

There was a fierce white elephant gift exchange. My dad got the first pick and opened something nobody wanted. It’s this annoying Packers toy dinosaur that dances and has blinking lights and plays the most annoying song on earth. This has been circling through our family for a while now.


Dad

Dallas got the Bodyguard soundtrack on cassette. Luckily Unfortunately, our car has a tape deck and we had a 3 hour ride home.


Dallas

Tessa really wanted to keep a hold of these granola bars in the swap. She may have cried the first time they got stolen away. I can’t remember who ended up with them. It was either Tessa or Sara.


Tessa

After the gift exchange, we played a lot with the kids. Here’s my cousin Sara’s husband Cam and one of their twins, Fiona, I think :) .


Fiona, Cam

Intense round of the fish game, except in the princess edition I think they catch jewels.


Jeff, Charlotte, Elise, Fiona


Fiona

Fun day. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we had a long drive home. Luckily there was no traffic and the roads were clear. Can’t wait for next year’s swap. We have some junk lovely gifts to give away!
