We survived the snow storm! It was great, John and Dave had a lot of fun. It's the most snow Pittsburgh has seen since 1993! Emma wasn't too sure of what was going on, but looked pretty funny jumping around in it. Here are some pictures of the snow and the kids. Enjoy Superbowl Sunday! It'll be interesting since the Steelers are not playing. This year Mariel says "GO COLTS!!!" and Dave says "GO SAINTS!!!".

Here are some pictures of the kids. We tried giving Zoe rice cereal for the first time. We don't think she actually ate any of it but seemed to like it much better than the bottle. And after waiting for a long time John got to meet Santa (for the first time) at the fire station. He did really well told Santa what he wanted and let Santa hold him, but he seemed most excited about the shinny red fire truck sitting in front of him. When Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said "FIRE TRUCK!". I guess boys will be boys. :-)

It's been a little chilly and rainy here but we are still trying to get out as much as possible before winter comes. Here are some pictures from our latest trip to the Zoo (Zoe's first) and our afternoon at Soergel Orchards. I also have a few pictures of John's new train, which I'm so excited about and got a fantastic deal on! No way it was going to make it until Christmas, he saw it as soon as I walked in the door! Also I put some pictures of John being a great big brother. He asked to hold "my Zoe" and once she started getting cranky he started telling her "It's ok little one, it's ok." I love my kids, they are too cute, what can I say.

It's so sad that summer is almost over! We are definitely enjoying the weather but not looking forward to the cold. John's having too much fun at the playground for winter to come and Zoe has way too many cute summery outfits to wear. Little girls are so much fun! I love dressing her up and taking pictures of her (thanks Ashley for the wonderful European wardrobe), especially now that she's smiling.

John and I had a little "picnic" in the living room the other day, and Dave and the kids had fun playing with Thomas (thanks again Mary!). There are also some pictures of the boys making cookies with our fabulous KitchenAid mixer, MANY thanks to my dad. Last but not least we have pictures of John flying his one airplane around the house and the family "testing" a new sleeping bag that Dave got.

We've really had a wonderful Summer. Thanks to everybody that came to visit us, we miss you all! Next on the agenda... Drive-in, taking the kids to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

PS You will also notice that I started a new section called Kids where we will be putting all kids pictures.

We had such a fun time at Nana and Grandpa's house. John even got to see some model trains. Zoe got her beautiful baby blanket. Thanks Nana and Grandpa for all the great food and fun. I also posted a couple of pictures from Claire's baptism (our almost niece).

Hi everybody! Here are a couple of new pictures. John has been celebrating his birthday for a month now, I think these are the last of the birthday pictures. Zoe is now a month old and as cute as can be! We had to limit the comments to registered users only bc we were getting hit with spam, but we love to hear from you so please register and leave us messages! :-)

I have posted a couple more pictures. Everybody wanted to see the new addition to our family, not Zoe, Thomas of course! I'll try to get better pictures soon. In John's birthday folder you will also find the only pictures we were able to get at the train museum. I also added a couple more of Zoe.

It's been quite a summer. Here's a link to the last pictures that we posted. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of John at the train museum because as it turns out our camera decided that it would not work without a charged battery, geeze they are so demanding!

Zoe and Mom spent the day at the hospital while Dad and John stopped by for a visit, ran some errands, and visited the fire station! John was worn out at the end of a long day.



Day 3 was the last day at the hospital. Zoe was doing well and we were all ready to head home for good.



More pictures in the Day 2 and Day 3 albums.
Zoe Christine Wyman was born Monday, July 20, 2009 at 3:55 AM. Weighing in at a dainty 6 lbs, 1 oz and measuring in just over 18 inches, she popped into this world in record time - and with a full head of hair!

This is a short update but I'm so excited I finished my quilt that I had to share. There are new pics under tummy, June, July and projects/sewing. Enjoy! Ooops and a picture of Dave's beer keg somehow made it in.

 Father's Day started off with French Toast! John kept me entertained while Mariel whipped up her world-famous french toast which, paired with tasty sausage, was a very good way to start the day.
 Then it was off to North Park for a fun hiking trip! John really enjoys riding in the kid carrier and he's still light enough that I don't even notice him.
 John is always fascinated by Emma and crouches down to watch her when she eats her food or grabs a drink.
 We found a fairly large meadow and we let Emma off her leash to run around. John couldn't decide whether he was more interested in chasing Emma or playing with his train!
 The little dude is always laughing and smiling - we're definitely lucky to have this guy!
 Mariel was a trooper - she did quite a bit of hiking and waited with the backpacks while John and I were busy acting like little boys.
 John, Emma, and me
 Packing up to hike back down to the car.
