Memorial Day Weekend 2012

We really didn't do anything uber exciting over Memorial Day this year, but we were able to spend a nice weekend at home as a family and actually managed to take some pictures!  So I just felt that I had to make a post to share those.  :)  Enjoy!
Victoria is DEFINITELY our child that is into babies.  There are usually 4-5 in her crib at any given time.  She blends right in, doesn't she?
Quite the get-up, eh?  Too bad you can't quite see the rain boots she's got on as well!
We've been enjoying lots of family "walks" lately.  This means E on her bike and V in her car...
We have noticed this is quickly becoming one of Ellie's favorite things - jumping and splashing in the rain puddles!
A very tired Victoria enjoying a ride.
Mommy and her girls.  Ellie always loves reading a story, and recently, V has really gotten into books as well!
I just realized that I never had a post about Victoria learning to walk!  Well, as you can see, she's darn good at it now!
An incredibly windy Memorial Day at the park.
Eliana and Victoria on the tire swing.
Daddy and his girls - he's so proud!

Boys Weekend in Seattle

The first weekend in May, Nick was able to get away on a boys weekend to Seattle with his best friend, Darren.  Aeleah and I had a girls weekend to Chicago in January, so it was only fair that Nick and Darren got to have a trip as well.  Really, this should be Nick making this post since I was not a part of the trip, but since I know he won't do it, I guess I will just post some of his photos!
Nick and Darren got to see the Twins beat the Mariners at Safeco Field.

The Fish Market in Seattle.
This is the hotel where the guys stayed - it was right on the water.
Darren and Nick on top of the Space Needle.
Inside Safeco Field (with the presents they brought back for E & V).
The Troll Under the Bridge with Nick on top (Ellie calls it the "grumpy old troll" for you Dora fans!).
GasWorks Park in Seattle.
Darren flew back to MN with Nick and was able to spend a night with us before he had to return to work.  Victoria loves her Godfather!
I can't remember the story with this photo, but doesn't my husband look handsome?  :)
