Visit to Cincy

We braved the elements in the Element and crossed state lines to see the Carson's this weekend in Cincinnati. Nadia and Will immediately hit it off and chased each other through the house all night. Morgan and Sonia didn't quite play together as much, but they did find some time to hang out by the coffee table.

It was certainly nice to catch up with Patty and Mitch and let the kids play, something that we do not get to do often with them.

Gingerbread Village

Jose had Tuesday off from work so we took the girls to Conner Prairie to view the Gingerbread Village and to play at the Discovery Station. We were pretty impressed by the gingerbread house to the left but there were many others that were very creative. If you live in the area and enjoy this sort of thing, it's worth visiting.

Spider-Man & The Green Goblin

Imagination...how fun it is!

Nadia took my headband and decided that she was Spider-Man.

I posted the photo above of Sonia because she could easily be the villain with that expression on her face.

Thanksgiving and Titi Gigi

What a week...

Brea and Pete were in town all the way from Seattle, Jose was off from work the entire week (Nana and Papaw took some time off too) and little Cooper finally arrived. I think the girls and I are going to feel a little alone and sad tomorrow after having so much company around. We managed to cram as much as we could into one week...good quality time with my sister (who I miss) and Pete, the Children's Museum, an early Thanksgiving with my Dad's side of the family, and a trip to the hospital to see the adorable Cooper Ashton Prather.

Dinner/Date Night at Corner Wine Bar in Broad Ripple

Children's Museum

Amy and Cooper

hi!

Hi, my name is Sonia and I woke up today at 5 in the morning. Doesn't everyone wake up at that time on the weekend?

Weekend Update

After much thought, we have decided to give you weekend updates rather than try to post daily. Therefore, we are asking that you please check back with us each weekend to find out what we've been up to...

TUESDAY:

This past week Jose had Veteran's Day off so we ended up at Bounce Planet, a first for us. Our intentions were to wear Nadia out but I think Jose and I were the ones that came home exhausted...time to get back into shape!

SATURDAY:

This weekend was busy yet rejuvenating for Jose and I. On Saturday, we headed to Kokomo for our date night. We had a nice quiet dinner and then Nadia stayed all night with Nana and Papaw and Sonia (who will not take a bottle) came home with us. Apparently, Nadia and Sonia had lots of fun and laughs with the ride-on toy at Nana and Papaw's. In the photo below, Sonia was actually the one doing all the pushing. Nadia has her little sis just where she wants her. SUNDAY:

Jose worked a few hours for Huntington Bank at Lucas Oil Stadium prior to the game. The tradeoff? Two, 3rd row tickets at the game!!! How awesome is that?!? What a day! Not only did we have great seats but the Colts pulled off a win. Go Colts! Thanks to Nana and Papaw (again) for watching the girls and giving us a day to ourselves. Another perk to the day...while Jose worked before the game, I melted into a leather chair at a little coffee shop in Circle Center Mall, enjoyed a "Wake Me Up" Mocha & Caramel Latte, a book and was at peace for a couple of hours.
