1 month of vacation! 1st Minneapolis

No more work for daddy, play with me :-)

Oops, lost my shoes. No worries, mommy has a temporary solution.

In Minneapolis I turn 1! Happy Birthday to me!

Happy B day wishes from grandma

Eating cake.

Now let's go pick out a gift!

Hmm, this is still a little scary.

How about I pick out something myself.

Out to dinner. The waitress likes that it's my B day and gives me free ice cream, this is how much I like it:

Mommy and daddy want to shop, so boring.

I'd rather play.

What, time to go home already?

Not happy baby? Me neither, let's go to Florida!!

Pictures!

I had reserved tonight to post lots of pictures and stories about Maxwell, but (little) Mister Lopez decided he wanted to stay up with us. Now that he is finally in bed I still have grading to do. So here's a little preview ;-). The rest will follow soon.

Busy!

Hello everybody,

I know I haven't posted pictures in a while, but I have taken many; in Minneapolis, in Florida, at home, Maxwells birthdays. I will post these as soon as we get back home. We are now in Florida and will be back next week Friday. Things have just been so busy, it's hard to keep up.

We are doing good, and so is Maxwell. He has four! more teeth. He is standing on his own longer and longer and we have caught him taking little steps here and there. Very little steps I have to say; crawling is still his favorite method of transportation.

New pictures will be up soon!!

We made it!

Maxwell, are we ready for daddy to come home?

YES, WE ARE!!

Let's go home daddy!!

 Daddy, you are not going anywhere for a long time, right? Just to make sure I am unpacking your things for you.

We forgot what it was like to be a family, but now we remember. and it is awesome!! 

(I can not find the words to do justice to what it feels like to be reunited again, so awesome will just have to do ;-).

Almost!

It looks like I am going to have to change the websites name, it should no longer be called 'For Michael,' because he will be here next week Thursday!!!!!

Maxwell got another haircut, that seems to be what he does for special events  :-). He looks so cool, no more baby, he's a little boy now:

Enough with the pictures already mommy!

This is how he was watching the teletubbies, he sat like this for a while, so completely into the show that he forgot he had his arms up!

Why things were easier before..

My toilet paper was on the roll, not on the floor.

Toys "R" Us had not exploded in our living room yet.

Baskets were used for storage, not for holding babies.

The furniture was still unlicked.

My books and cd's were stored very neatly, I was always able to find what I was looking for.

And finally, I did not have to look at this face every time I turned the Teletubbies of. In fact, I never even watched the Teletubbies!

But I would not want to have missed any of it ;-), love my little explorer.
