Thanks for a great visit in Tucson Nov 24-28

We had a wonderful time and were pretty tired by the time we left!

Happy Thanksgiving in Tucson - Nov 26

We enjoyed a fantastic Thanksgiving day eating outside with the Kilbury family (17 of us!). Nia liked the stuffing. She also had fun playing with her cousin Abby and the rest of the family (including the dogs!)

Nia loved playing outside in the great weather while we were visiting in Tucson. She had so much fun playing on the slides with her cousin Koda.

Thanksgiving Visit with Grandma and Papa Nov 24

We traveled to Tucson for Thanksgiving vacation to visit with the Kilbury family. We had such a great time visiting with so many family members and playing outside in the great weather!
Our first day there Nia enjoyed a chocolate cupcake that her Papa treated her too.

She also liked picking lemons with Papa!

Apple Pie - November 8

After the zoo, Nia helped make her first apple pie, from the apples we picked a couple of weekends ago. Although Dad almost lost a finger helping with the peeler, everything turned out fine and the pie was delicious!




This is baby sign language for apple (holding your fist at your cheek and rotating it back and forth)

MN Zoo - November 8

We got some beautiful mild weather in Minneasota, so we took a trip to the zoo! Nia had fun seeing the animals, and also playing at the playground there.

Table and Chairs - November 1

Nia is enjoying coloring at her "new" table. This table was her Mom's and Auntie Lynne's when they were little!

Happy Halloween - October 30th

Nia was a Lobster for Halloween - in her costume made by her Nana. She celebrated on Friday by trick-or-treating at Mom's office, and then at her party at Kinderberry Hill. She had so much fun partying!

15 month check up - October 24

Nia had her 15 month well check up. She weighs 20 pounds 4 ounces (10-25th percentile) and is 31 inches long (50-75th percentile). She got her flu shots (both seasonal and H1N1). She didn't like this visit to the doctor. She understands so much now, but definitely doesn't understand what happens at the doctor's office. She was scared : ( But she is a very healthy girl! We feel so blessed to have such a happy healthy 15 month old!

Stuffed Animals - October 24

Nia really loves her stuffed animals. She's sleeping on a big pile of them in this picture.
She is also potty training them!

Apple Picking - October 18

We also went apple picking this weekend. It was a beautiful fall day and Nia had a great time running through the orchard and eating apples.

Raking Leaves - October 17

We raked some leaves this weekend. Nia like running through the piles. Shocking!

So Tired - October 17th

Nia fell asleep while she was eating this afternoon. Oops - I guess Mommy and Daddy missed her cues!

Last run of the Fall or First run of the Winter - October 10

We ran a 5k this morning and is was snowing!! That will likely be the last one for the season. Nia was a trooper though - all bundled up!

Vacation - NE Aquarium - Sept 14

We had a great family vacation on the East Coast. We visited with Nia's Great-Grammie and Great-Grandpa and great aunts and uncles. Then Nana and Grandfather came down from Maine and we went to the Aquarium in Boston. Nia had a great time watching the seals, the penguins, and all the fish, sharks, and turtles! She also was lucky enough to stumble upon a merry-go-round on walk through Boston and she took a ride with Nana. What a special and fun day!
