Christmas 2008

Goin to MN! Very happy with his Cheerio necklace!

Snowy Day and Christmas Tree Fun

For the sixth year in a row we went with Corrine and Gooch to get our Christmas Tree. Our lives have changed quite a bit over our years together - here are two of the best changes!! :)

Funny Boy!

Laughing, laughing, laughing!!

Halloween

Here are a couple of pictures of our little "dinosaur". He was technically a dragon but don't tell him that.


Marek and his friend Isaac eating pumpkin muffins

He Cant Even Vote Yet!!

He must have a little of his gammy in him! :)

Fall in Colorado

Fall in Colorado means a couple of things for our family, football (for better or worse!) and LEAVES!!! Marek has had a blast enjoying both and is getting to be a very big boy. Here are some Marek "vitals" if you will, as I havent written them down in a while:

Weight: 23 lbs

Height: 32 inches (I think)

Shoe size: 5

Clothes: 18-24 mo. in pants, 12-18 in shirts

Foods: soup (any kind), yuckie dried green beans from Whole Foods, string cheese, juice boxes, 'snack' or Pringles sticks, eggs and pancakes (go figure)

Phrases: "Come on, Mommy", "Daddy, sit", "Clean diapie", "Gampy funny" - demanding these days!

First Sentence: 'Big purple monkey eat food' - who knows!

Marek knows most of the basic shapes and colors and can count to thirteen! We have had to watch ourselevs because he can repeat anything. We figure he must have gotten his verbal skills from his mother because Mike said nothing but 'huh' until he was three! He can spot a Jeep from a mile away and knows mommy's car is a volvo. Loves fish but HATES scuba divers (bad expierence at the aquarium!)

He is a hoot and we are having a blast.

Minnesota Summer

What a better time to visit family and friends in Minnesota than early August. As we will see in the pictures the bugs were still out, but that did deter us from having a great time. It is had not to enjoy life when you get see new members of the family that are as sweet and beautiful as my sister's new baby Anna!





"big neck".

He may not look like it in this picture, but Marek loves his cousins. We have a picture of Anna on our fridge and he will call her by name everytime we walk by. And well we all know how much he adores "Aki", or Alix to us grownups.

Wow...choo-choo!"

Uh-oh another Schifsky girl. I wonder if Anna will be soft spoken and reserved like the rest!
