Big Events in October

This October we have had a ton going and the fun never ever stops. For starters, Carl turned 30 and we surprised him at work with an ice cream cake from BiRite and also had a dinner party with close friends. Our good friends Peter and Chantal from Sydney came to stay for a week and we got to meet baby Liam. We headed to the pumpkin patch where Lily dressed as Nemo the clown fish. (Little does she know [because she was in my belly] that we were on the hunt for Nemo at the Great Barrier Reef before leaving Australia so thought the costume was perfect for her first Halloween)

Lily also got to meet her Grandpa Claes for the first time when he came to visit from New York earlier in the month. The first version of Carl's travel website launched in October http://www.nextstop.com/ he and his partners have been working their behinds off. Check it out when you have a chance and ask for an account so you can start adding your favorite recommendations. As if starting a company and having a baby all at once wasn't enough, we also broke ground on our garage construction project. That's right jack hammering all day and a baby trying to take naps don't exactly mix well but having a garage in the city seems all worth it.

Enjoy the photos and we hope you are all well.

Sunny September

This fall we have been busy with the little one. We had lots of visitors come and stay with us which has been fun. In September we went to see our goddaughter's soccer game which Lily loved to watch in the Bjorn. There is no facing in for this kid, it is all about looking out and checking out what is happening in this great big world. We also took our first family vacation up to Mendocino for a long weekend filled with coastal walks, beautiful drives and mom and dad even managed to get in some wine tasting in the Anderson Valley. You will also see some pictures of Lily right out of the bath - she loves the water and bath time is the best part of her day!

Busy Times

Hello all - Sorry for not getting up the many pictures we have taken the past few weeks of our little Lily on the blog. Things are busy at the house with baby time and Carl's exciting new start-up (www.nextstop.com) Lily is now 16 weeks old and growing bigger and bigger every day. We took our first family vacation to Mendocino and Carl turned 30 since we last updated our blog. Here are a few pictures taken two weeks ago to hold you all over until we get some time to make a new posting. Hope you are all well.
