Were Back!

Being super busy and having the hard drive on my my Macbook completely crash has led to me not being able to post in almost 3 months! I don't even know where to begin but I think with Christmas would be best, even though that seems like forever ago. Christmas 2011 was yet another success, full of memories and of course about a million presents for the kids. Kate's favorite thing in this whole world is Minnie Mouse (aka Mimi) so with the help of everyone in the family we made her dreams of a Minnie Mouse Christmas come to life. She received four different stuffed Minnies, a Minnie shopping cart with Minnie bows in it, a Minnie Mouse costume and ears for her to dress up in and Minnie Mouse themed outfits among other things. It was Charlottes first Christmas so it is as always so cute to watch her open up her gifts and love the gift warp and boxes the more then anything else. Josh got some really cool "boy" gifts which is always important in a house where the girls outrank the boys in number :) They also received a super cute red retro kitchen for of them to enjoy together, which was probably the biggest hit out of all the gifts.
New Years Eve this year our Charlotte turned 1 and I can not believe it. She has already been walking for a few months and is even starting to talk. So will say Uh-oh, Hi, Buh Bye and her versions of Mama and Dada. She is so full of personality and happy 90% of the time. Charlotte can eat more then any other baby I have ever seen she loves pasta, fruit, chicken nuggets, meatballs, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and really anything you put on her highchair. Kurt and I love our Charlotte so much and are looking forward to another year of loving her and watching her grow and learn new things.
And finally it is that time again (seems very often for us...) for Kurt and I to announce we are expecting our last but definitely not least member of our family. Baby Diaz # 4 is due early September and we could not be more thrilled. Now that I am offically in my second trimester I am begining to feel so much better. Pregnant and chasing toddlers is a whole different story this time around. But we are up for the challange and can not wait to bring another baby into this family to love and care for.
