The Winner of Mustache 'Mo-vember' is....

MAGGIE!!!!




Luckily we got a healthy amount of snow to entertain the kids the last few days in Truckee. Maggie also got a 50 cent mustache at Safeway to make her fit in with fuzzy faced Dad while he's still on his Terminal leave. Those two previous pictures make me laugh out loud anytime I see them! When Brian shaved his mustache before we went to Mexico Maggie cried! I know I didn't cry!

Here are some snow shots. Maggie enjoyed it a lot more than Keegan did!

Life in the Cold Mountains

As part of our transition from California to Colorado, we decided to try a few weeks up in the mountains. Yesterday we got a pretty decent dumping of snow!

Our friends the Walsh Family opted to drive into their first California snow storm last night. After being on the road way too long they stopped in half way to their destination for diaper changes and a quick meal.

911- we had an emergency.

So leaving our kids was tough. And it took a village, from friends, sisters, godfathers, nanas and papas to great aunts to make our trip happen. But when you've got a village, someone got to be the Village Chief, and my little, pregnant with no kids sister, Lisa stepped up to this role. That meant no breaks for her, for 7 days of 2 little kids. It also meant she had to be the one to break the news to us upon landing that Maggie was in the hospital getting stitches! She was a super trooper and (from what I hear) everyone at the hospital loved her.

5 days later and the possibility of a modeling career still alive...


Our little ham: she'd walk up to anyone at the hospital and say "I HURT MY FOOOOOORE HEAD!"

So we went on this Honeymoon...

and except for a fading tan and some leftover pesos, I don't have much to show for it! I just downloaded my pictures and apparently I didn't bring my camera along to much that we did. Maybe that's because we spent the majority of the time honestly just relaxing, not talking about naps, not trying to get kids to eat their veggies, and not exhausted at the end of the day!

So here is one shot of us out on our balcony... I'm relying on Nikki for some other shots hopefully!



And here's the gang on night one. First round of Modelo Lights, prior to even a mention of Mexican Train, Edgar, and pepper grinders. Honestly it was the best trip ever and it couldn't have gone more perfectly. Thanks to the Z's!

Cuatro Cervezas, por favor!

We are on day six of our delayed honeymoon/vacation in Mexico! SO MUCH FUN and so weird to have all this time to talk to each OTHER and not worry about naps, kids meals, etc!


Here we are with the Zemans at sunset- way too much fun!



The two guys who just KEEP making me laugh this whole trip:



My life partner! Congrats on almost 6 years of marriage!


Major shout out to Lisa, Tom, Grandma K, Nancy, Dennis, Catherine and everyone who helped make this happen! We love you guys and although we miss our kids this experience is priceless!
