So I just saw that there's something else for you to look forward to when you get home - Top Chef is going to have a dessert one!!
Also, I second the notion that Rick should post a bit too. He's like the silent partner in all this! I want him to explain why he always looks so upset in restaurants :)
I wish Rick would take over the blog sometimes -I run out of things to say! My job is to keep the blog running and his is to keep our laundry washed. Rick says the only reason he looked upset in the Chinese restaurant was because the dancers hadn't started their show yet. Just kidding, but if you look at the background in the photo you can see what appears to us to be a stage and a stripper pole!
We are very excited for Top Chef dessert! Who was the last person voted out this season?
Andrea just got voted out. I actually liked her, but saw it coming a mile away. I think I like Kevin the best, but I'm not sure. Haven't watched Food Network Star yet, but now that there are 2 sleeping boys upstairs, I'll probably get on it right now!
Is that Jenya's tongue ever in her mouth? It's hilarious! In that one pic it looks like she's trying to explain to Rick that he should have his out too. "Stick your tongue out Daddy...you don't what you're missing!"
What great pictures. I love the family pictures. Was Jenya trying to get Rick to do rasberries, in the third picture? the pictures with the tongue out are priceless. You said 'when she is happy or excited she sticks out her tongue.' Well than, she is one HAPPY BABY! Lv U all
News from home.... Kevin passed his road test. I am having a hard time with it. Too much to worry about. He plans on spending a night at the house with Kelsey this week. Josh will be heading down to see Laura soon. No news of baby yet, Laura posted on FB just 3 hours ago. Talk soon, avoid the stripper pole!! LOL. Lots of love to all.
Dawn said...... Hi !!! Thank you so much for inviting me to share in such an intimate look into your FAMILY !!!! April was down for a visit and helped me figure out how to sign onto the blog through the invite you sent.....yes I'm pathetic...I needed help.. I've enjoyed all the wonderful photos and comments...It's amazing that technology allows all this... Anyway, What a beautiful family you three make !! Jenya is absolutely adorable. I can't get over just how natural and at ease she appears to be with both of you. It's as if her smile has known you forever ! I can only imagine how much you cherish every moment. She is one very lucky little girl ! God bless her and enjoy the remainder of your trip. We will keep you guys in our prayers.
Kristen you are just missing so much reality tv while you are away... but I guess it is worth it. It really looks like Jenya has a lot of equipment for the babies to use in the baby house. Do the other babies get to use it? or is that room only for parents to visit with their babies? I think Kennedy would def. like to play with some of those toys.
I love the family photos. I think you have more pictures of you guys and Jenya than most people get in a whole year. She will have such great memories to look back on. Although she may see spots for a while. :)
Absolutely love the picture where Jenya is reaching for Rick's mouth. She's oblivious to the camera but just focused on her daddy and getting her fingers in his mouth. So cute!!!
Do they sell that tub of balls in ToysRUs? Maybe Uncle Ky can buy his niece that for Christmas :) It looks like great fun.
Oh Aunt Mary - there are MANY "tub of balls" options for Kyle to get for Xmas and for Kristen and Rick to be finding all over their house for the next several years! I say definitely get her a ball pit ASAP, and legos, and blocks, and a kitchen with a 100 piece set of toy food, and puzzles, and...hmmmm....do you think someone is having a losing battle with toy clutter at the moment? Oh well! As long as Jenya has fun!! :)
Funny Karen, now I'm taking all the toys off my baby registry! It's a good thing Rick likes to clean all the time :)
Dawn, so glad you're following along with us! Wait until you see all the cool coins (called tenge) I've collected for Hunter. April told me he loves to collect foreign coins so I've got a whole set now for him :)
Great shots of the three of you. Love that she is such a happy girl.
ReplyDeleteI love that last one!!! What a happy family!
