Daddy-daughter date.

The night consisted of:
A happy meal at McDonald's
(June LOVES her mini-teddy bear toy with hearts on it from her happy meal.)

A trip to the Pet Store
(The doggies were her favorite, she asked to get in the cage with them. A little random coming from a girl who is NOT a dog/animal lover)

A walk through Old Navy
(Looking for flip-flops, but they were out of size 8. Outcome: "Daddy didn't buy me anything")

Ice Cream at Baskin Robbins
Flavors: Reese's for Daddy, "The pink kind" for June (Peppermint)

Gettin' Jiggy with it!

It's everyone's favorite time of year again, which means another unveiling of the Koch (maybe Graham) family jig. Believe it or not, it took some convincing from me (Adam) to get Nora to perform again this year. She thought people were probably over it, but I let her know that multiple people have let me know they can't wait to see this year's edition. So tell your kids, tell your wives, tell your husbands, cuz they gettin' jiggy wit e'rbody up in hea'.

JUMP! JUMP!

A fun trampoline for the kids to jump in... or the start of cage fighting?
Depends on the day.

5 months.

My sweet Nollie Pollie. This guy has turned into one smiley baby. Nolan continues to love attention and often cries when he's not getting it, but he is so hard to walk away from because he is so loveable. Hand sucking is still his favorite hobby and playing in the jump-a-roo has become pretty fun too. In a effort to try to "bulk him up" we started giving our little man rice cereal and he is lovin the new addition to his diet. He has had a cough for a month now, been on antibiotics, a steroid, and breathing treatments, but he really has not been too phased by it all. The nights are still long but we all just take naps from time to time to get us through. We sure do love our happy guy.

Feel the LOVE.

Happy Valentine's Day

dinner table full of love

our dessert
(I thought dessert would be a flop because the power went out and I had no way of heating up the chocolate. Thankfully, I married a resourceful eagle scout who thought to heat up the chocolate on the bbq.)

a very appropriate card

4 months.

Sweet Nolan. I feel like it has taken four months but this little guy has finally adjusted to life on earth. He had his first cold and was put on an antibiotic for a bronchial infection. While we were at the doctor we discovered that Nolan had only gained 12 ounces in two months (weight: 11lbs. 12 oz.). There is no chub on him and that is something I am not used to from anyone in our family. The doctor put him on some special formula to fatten him up. He is completely bottle-fed now and he is much happier now that I am not starving him. Nolan LOVES his hands and he pretty much chews on them all day. He has also become a total chatter-box which brightens my day to hear such sweet sounds. We love having this little man in our family and we are glad he loves us too!

Mommy and me Preschool

A typical Wednesday:

June-bug and I (and Nolan) go to preschool together. We play. We sing. We dance. We do art work. We have a snack/lunch. We play some more. We go home. We all take naps.

Happy 2012.

We spent New Year's Eve (day) driving home from our Christmas in Las Vegas. We had a very low-key New Year's Eve with just our family. The night was full of excitement with Martinelli's, yummy Trader Joe's appetizers and desserts, some awesome "American"Chopper" party hats, and an intense game of Let's Go Fishing and Pretty Pretty Princess.
