Photos from our trip to Boston/New Hampshire

We had a great trip to Boston and New Hampshire! Karina was able to meet RP and GG (her great grandparents) and spend time with Ya Ya, Far Far, Aunt Christie, Uncle Bob, Oom Rinus, cousins Daniel and Emilija and friends Lauren and Keith. We even had the opportunity to go to Daniel's 7th birthday party and spend time with old friends there! Karina did not enjoy the first flight, but the second flight was pretty empty so we could lay here out across a couple of seats and sleep. The most exciting news is that Karina took her first steps by herself on Tuesday!!!

Happy Birthday Daniel!


Pokeman pinata...luckily neither Tim nor Rinus sustained any injuries :)

Ya Ya, GG, Karina and Tim - 4 generations!

We'll put some video's up soon. Hopefully we'll catch Karina walking on film!

Happy Valentine's Day and 16 months old...

Karina is now 16 months old. She is trying out new consonants regularly. Right now she is saying "ga ga ga" and "da da da." She likes to sing along to the alphabet, "de de de de de de de." Karina is still scooting around on her bum, but loves to walk using Mamma and Daddy's hands. She has found a love for cds, or rather pulling cds off of the shelf. She will sit for a good 20 minutes just opening and closing one cd case. We're lucky she is so easily entertained. She also loves to "read" Mamma's law books, especially Understanding Constitutional Law. A lawyer in the making...We also gave Karina her first haircut. She was relatively cooperative :)


Karina and Daddy playing in her tent. If you ask here where her tent is, she either points to it or goes in. She definitely understands everything we say...we need to be careful now :)


Scaring Mamma when she opened the tent. So much fun!


Enjoying a Valentine cupcake.


Mamma and Karina at the Zoo.


Cookoo Karina!


Awww...So cute!


Reading with Auntie Jodi.


Karina, Nicolas, Lilly, Elias and Zoey. We actually got them all to sit still! For one shot at least :)



Karina is really smart. She gets all the walking kids to push her where she wants to go :)
