Easter Fun!!!

Here are some Easter pictures. I am trying to be a bit more on top of things:) Last week we went to our pastor's house for the annual Egg Hunt. Emma was very excited and looked in every hole possible to find some. My boss Kerry got her this cute Tweedy Bird basket and she was so excited about it. As she was looking for the eggs, she noticed other kids running and looking for some and she told me "mom, i don't want those other kids to take my eggs".

On Good Friday i stayed home in the morning and Emma and I had a great time coloring eggs and making Easter cards. Emma did a great job coloring the eggs with paint, especially since this was her first time doing it (at least at home). She also loved putting easter stickers on.

Yesterday, on actual Easter day we hid eggs all over our front and back yard and invited our neighbors Pedro and Alondra to join Emma for the hunt since Nora is too little. Emma loved that her buddies were there and she could enjoy all the treats with them afterward. Nora enjoyed the time as much playing with grandpa who came over for dinner. We remembered the story of Easter and why we celebrate. It is interesting how amazed the kids faces get when they realize that the stone is moved and Jesus has risen. Wish we all have that kid like amazement when we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. Happy Easter to all! May you all find the joy and meaning that Easter brings!

Real Snow this time!

In February we actually got somereal snow.And we got a lot of it.It even stayed for 2 days and we couldplay in it. Make snow balls and snowman. Emma had a blast. Her aunts were in town from washington so she could even enjoy the snow with them. Chris of course had the most fun from all.Norica unfortunately did not experience this fully since she was sick with her 2nd (or maybe 3rd even) ear infection in a row. Poor little girl. But oh well, she did watch it from the inside of the house. Luckily she doesn't know what she was missing out on.Snow in Atlanta-rarity:)
Enjoy the pics.

First Snow-January 8th 2010

This is all very overdue but better ever then never.Right?

Happy 7th Anniversary!

Today Chris and I celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary (at least when it come to our 2nd marriage:)). I can't believe it has already been 7 years. Sometimes it feels like time has flown by but then sometimes if feels like we have been together forever. I certainly do not remember the time when we were not together. Lots has happened in the last 7 years. This weekend we went out to celebrate and reflected on all that has happened. How we started. Where we are now. Lots of moves in the first few years, then 4 year ago we bought our first house, Chris finished law school and we have 2 beautiful girls. Just to name some of the highlights. Even after 7 years we are into each other (despite the 7 year itch:)) and the more i get to know Chris the more i love him. God has truly blessed us and we hope he continues to bless us in the next 7 years.

Taking the bath together!

Emma and Nora started taking baths together a couple of weeks ago. Now that Nora can sit and they go to bed at the same time, it was the perfect time for joint baths:) Emma was soooooo excited at the beginning to share a bath with Nora. She just wanted to show her everything. However, after a few times her excitment about it disappeared. She doesn't want Nora to touch her bath toys and says Nora splashes water too much. It is hilarious! They still take baths together though!!!!! And it is time for me to buy Nora some of her own bath toys!

Emma Singing to Nora

Emma loves to sing to Nora. Here she is singing Zvoncici (Jingle Bells). She is very enthusiastic with the "hey." Towards the end she notices that the outdoor christmas lights (lampice) have come on. It amazes her every time when they come on (I have them on a timer), especially when we leave the house only to return with the lights glowing in the night.

Christmas 2009
