I finally got this cute video to work from Baylee's Chanukah Program at Preschool. Enjoy!
Catch Up
I definitely have some catching up to do with this BLOG! The past couple of months have gone by pretty fast for us. It was my birthday in November and I was of course spoiled with a great birthday week! I had the day off from work and we had a nice dinner with friends and my brother at Houstons. Another night Louis took me to the Zac Brown Band concert and it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to! We did game night one night with friends and I got to play my favorite game, Settlers! My girls colored me a beautiful card with help from dad and Louis got me really fancy diamond earrings that I just can't take off! They are so beautiful!!!! And to top it off he bought us a house!!! No, not really for my birthday, it just happen to be on that week. We were't planning on buying for awhile, but we just couldn't give up on such a great deal! It is in my favorite area in South Florida and still in our church boundaries. It is a ranch style house that sits on an acre of land! The lot size is pretty rare around here unless you have lots of mulla (which we don't)! Like I said, we got a GREAT deal! The house needs a lot of work before we move in, but it will be worth the investment! We are hoping all the renovations will be finished before this next baby comes in May!
For Thanksgiving we were very nontraditional! I am almost embarrassed to admit it. But we spent the day with our closest friends and their family who are such good people. Since they are not American and are from Argentina they really don't have a traditional Thanksgiving. They invited us out to an Argentine Steak House where we had a really fancy all you can eat buffet (without any Turkey of course). Then we went to the County Fair with them. It was actually a lot of fun and the dinner was really delicious! Who knows, this might be our new tradition!
The Fair on Thanksgiving
The following weekend we bought a tree and Uncle Roger came over to help decorate with his nieces!
The girls went to see Santa at the mall and I couldn't believe how well Savana did on his lap! She didn't mind a bit. When Baylee was her age she was petrified of Santa! Both girls did really great this year!

Both girls did really great this year!On the first day of Chanukah, we had Baylee's Preschool Holiday program and she did so good. There is a video of her that I am trying to upload, where in the middle of one of the songs Savana starts to walk up to the stage and Baylee stops singing and tries to get her teacher's attention about her sister. It is pretty funny! Hopefully I can get it to work.
The following Day on December 2nd, Louis went in for the first of two brain surgeries for his AVM. This one went really well! Luckily with today's technology, they were able to go into his head with any incisions. It's amazing! We are praying that they won't ever have too in the future either. Despite the surgery going so well, Louis did have a pretty rough recovery. He is back to normal now and feels great, but we definitely had a little scare for awhile! His next surgery is at the end of January so please keep him in your prayers.

One night we took Grandma Cynde to a live Nativity at a local church and Baylee was just in awe! I think she thought this was the real deal! She was just amazed at the live animals and the entire Christmas pageant. So when we got home she had to do her own little Nativity scene right away!
The following week was Louis' birthday week, but he was out of commission from his surgery so we celebrated over the weekend and were able to go to a fun Christmas party with all of our friends. They had a Gingerbread house contest and we won 2nd place, oh yeah! Then on Sunday we grilled out with my brother and had some yummy ice cream cake for Lou! We also celebrated our latest news too. We are having a our 3rd girl and are VERY excited!! 
Happy 29th daddy! We love you soooooooo much...
...Love,
All of your girls Mom, Baylee, Savana, and Princess #3 (we need name suggestions for this one!)
Girls, Girls, Girls!!!
On Louis' birthday we went to have our 20 week ultrasound and we are very excited to announce that we are having baby girl #3! She is as healthy as can be too! We are very blessed and the best birthday gift Louis could ever have. My due date is confirmed for May 2nd. Yeah, right before the real Florida heat sets in! I couldn't ask for a better pregnancy so far either. I've hardly felt I was pregnant until now, since I am starting to feel her move...which is great because it is one of my favorite things in the world to feel my babies! Here are a couple of pix of our latest little Angel.

Savana's First Birthday
My little baby girl Savana turned ONE on October 25th! Where did the time go? It has been a wonderful year with her in our life. We are so blessed to have her. She has truly been an angel for us!
There are so many things I can write about her, but here are just a few...dozen!
-She weighs 17.14 lbs, and is 28 inches tall
-She Still has blue eyes (and the longest lashes ever!), but very little hair on her head
-She's been walking since 10 months old and is climbing everything now
-She has 4 teeth, 2 central incisors on bottom and 2 canines on top (a little scary)!
-She sleeps 12 hours every night and naps good once a day
-She says "hi, mom, dad, & book," and babbles all day long
-She loves to wave at everyone
-She LOVES, loves ,loves food! She eats all day long and everything! I am so happy for that!
-She loves to be tickled and chased and can't stop laughing in the process
-She loves the park, especially the swings
-She does not like to sit still, especially when changing her diaper
-She is in love with her daddy. If he is in the room, she is always with him
Ok now for THE PARTY!
I made her cute little monkey cakes!
Big Sister Baylee helped to blow out her candle!
Savana had fun opening and playing with her presents too! Of course she had a lot of help from her big sis and friends!

Europe Trip 2010
We had a wonderful vacation visiting all of my family in Europe! We first went to see my mom's side of the family in Switzerland and then my dad's side in Austria. The girls did so well traveling and had such a great time meeting everyone for the first time. We were all spoiled with amazing hospitality and food! We are so grateful for the wonderful time that we had together!
PART ONE: Switzerland
We went to visit my grandmother "Mutti" in Unterageri, Switzerland.
She lives in a beautiful little village outside of Zurich

Then we had to park our car in a garage and take another train into the village. There are no cars allowed in Zermatt.
