lunch date

We met tony for lunch last week. Couldn't resist breaking out the camera.
Karoline is quite content in her daddy's arms.

3 month pics and a hearing test with Aunt Dr.!

3 month pics a couple days early!

Since Karoline had ear infections over Christmas..Jan told us to swing by and she would test her ear pressure to make sure they were gone. While we were there she went ahead and tested her hearing. Woo hoo we passed again!!! It was fun to see Jan in her element. She is wonderful at her job. I know as a mother it would be such a relief to have such a sweet Audiologist to work with. She made me proud!

More Family Fun!

My Aunt Maureen(dad's sister), Uncle Rip, Jason and Kristie came to visit from South Africa for about a week. It was great getting to spend time with them again. I must admit Arkansas is no Cape Town, S.A. Hope you guys enjoyed it anyway.

getting some much needed sleep with papa!

family fun!

Our ROCKIN new years eve!

hanging out before new years dinner

playing with chopsticks

the crew!

haha mom wanted to go to this Japanese Rest. and since none of us had plans we all tagged along. We thought they would have Hibachi(you know tony wouldn't have gone any other way). It turned out that they didn't but it was quite funny to see what people ended up ordering. Tony actually like what he ordered more than anyone else. It was so funny!

playing catch up!

We had a great time when Aunt Margot, Jaime & Lara (plus Lara's man...Rob) came down to visit. Stacy, one of our cousins from South Africa, arrived in the US...she will be studying at OBU for the semester.

Pics of Karoline all in the Christmas spirit. Too bad she was sick with ear infections and a horrible chest congestion. Poor baby. Not the happiest of Holidays but she sure looked cute!

2 month pics

Karoline was 2 months old on the 11th. I can't believe how fast time flies.  I'm just now getting around to posting these pics.  I took these pictures before and after her drs apt.  She really enjoyed her appointment(can't you tell). Look at her poor little legs.  I  think the shots she had hurt me more than they hurt her.   

Our Best Gift Ever!

We took our Christmas picture the other night and afterwards we let Karoline enjoy some of her favorite things. She loves to lay under the Christmas tree and look at all the lights. She also doesn't like to wear clothes(this might pose a problem later on).
No clothes + Christmas tree = happy baby!

Congrats Brittany and Dillon!

Britt and Dillon got engaged today! It seems like Dill is already part of the family so we couldn't be more thrilled! We were lucky b/c we were able to talk to her on the computer and see the ring right after it happened. I LOVE TECHNOLOGY! We can't wait to see the ring in person and give you a hug! Here are some pics they took of the engagement and a couple of us talking to her on the computer.
