the last few...



Koen and Tessa with Lisa's Dad Mario also known as Papa (accent on the second pa - according to Koen) and one of all the cousins (Koen, Anna, Melissa, Anthony, Clara, John, and Tessa)!!

A few more...




Our friend Michele took these pictures of Koen and Tessa at a recent pool party at Lori & Jim's house.

How they've changed...

A morning at Houghton's Pond with the kids...

WE'RE BAAAACK!!!!

So four months is not that bad when you are trying to hold down a crazy job, keep up with household chores, and take care of two children, right?

I keep getting subtle hints from my friends... Hmm... last photos on the blog are from EASTER!!!! Any chance you will get to that soon??? Well, here I am trying to get things going again.

The kids are fantastic! Koen is so big now. He has been walking since he turned one, so he is quite an expert now. Tessa is sitting up and getting more interactive by the day. We continue to work on rolling over with her. She's pretty laid back and not in too much of a rush, but what a smiley girl she is!!!

We spent almost a week at Scraggy Neck with the kids, and although Koen had a rough time sleeping, in general it worked out great to be at the beach everyday. The week after that, Lisa and the kids spent the week at her parents house with her cousin and 4 children (11, 9, 7, 5) and her other cousins son who is 8. It was complete mayhem, but Koen and Tessa had a blast playing with and getting to know their cousins. You could tell that Koen noticed when they left. :-( Too bad they live in Upstate NY!!
