More Winter Fun

We had a lot of fun with family and friends over the holidays....



Kyle and I heading up the sledding hill.


Amazing snow on the (sledding) slopes!


Kyle & Beckett all bundled up and ready to ride.


The Blakes relaxing on New Year's Eve.


Beck looks skeptical.


What a way to celebrate New Years!


Poor Evi was the victim of Kyle's new hugging phase.

Christmas Morning

Andreas family tradition dictates that the children come down the stairs Christmas morning and the adults document their surprise and glee upon spotting the Christmas splendor. This is the first year Karen has not had to come down the stairs (last year she carried Kyle) so a very exciting moment. She's a real adult now.



Kyle's Christmas card from mom and dad was a big hit.



Pictures to come later when i can get them uploaded.

Thanksgiving in Chicago

Kyle's favorite thing at the Aquarium!

Enjoying (?) the Christmas lights.


Cooking lessons from GG Elaine.


The three generations after a fine afternoon tea.


Poor Maggie.


Karen & GG Agnes


Piano lessons with Uncle Matt.


And a nice duet....




Classic Kyle dance moves. I'd like to send this in as an audition tape for Yo Gabba Gabba, Kyle's favorite show!

Snow Day

Just some good video of the family enjoying our second big snow of the year.

Chicago Weekend

We went to Chicago for Sarah Bay's wedding, but unfortunately did not get any good shots of the wedding. Needless to say, the bride was beautiful, as was the setting. Fun was had by all.


Goz, Sharon & I await the first cocktail of the day.



The lovely Blakes


And the rest of the lovely ladies, mojitos in hand.


The end of a beautiful evening.


Meanwhile, back at babysitting central,
Mardi Gras is in full swing.



Kyle had music lessons from Uncle Matt.


The two definitely bonded over music, Kyle is quite successful on the drums!

Halloween 2009

Kyle's all ready to go for his first trick or treat experience.


Daddy keeps the lion out of the snow.


The whole family, including long lost uncle earl in the background!


Where did all the candy go?


Monkey food for the lion.
