Hey! This guy doesn't look THIRTY!
Here we are at Chad's 30th birthday party! We had a fun pizza party, planned by Susannah at Tony's Pizza in Lodi. There were toddlers everywhere and fun was in the air. Chad seemed like he had a great time clebrating his birthday and the Mullens and Eicheles got to visit.

Here is Sabine climbing steps for the FIRST TIME! She kept looking back at me to see if I was noticing this big acheivement of hers. This is Christmas Eve at the Diehl's. she is in her Christmas outfit, complete with green ruffles on her tush. She has gotten so amazingly strong! Her big brother was very proud of her at the end!

Holy Moly! It took us a long time to blog again. We just had such a spectacular holiday season that we could not stop to sit on the computer! Here is Max with his Gingerbread house. He did a great job of decorating it. Good news is that Max has had two colds with pink cheeks (see pictures) and NO EAR INFECTIONS! Woo Hoo! He's done!




Sabine loves to crawl under the table to collect the fallen ornaments from the tree. She is caught on film here, grabbing the ornament and shaking it. Then she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and was captivated...but who can blame her? Say "cheese" Beanie!

Wow...she just keeps growing. Only 8 months old here, but we think we get a glimpse of toddler Bean in this tubby picture!
