IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a picture of the newest addition to our family. Leilani Rue was born this morning, November 30th at 9:12 am. She was 7 lbs and 19 1/2 inches. Mommy went into labor last night around 3 am and after a quick morning, Kai's little sister was born. Well, quick for me, it may have seemed a bit longer for Kristina since she was the one doing all the work! But again, Kristina was amazing and after only about 2 pushes, out came Leilani. It's been a long day for baby and she is catching up on her shut-eye right now, while her brother awaits her arrival at home with the grandparents on Wednesday. I'm sure we'll have more pics to post of her in the near future, I think we have already taken about 300 and she isn't even a day old! Talk to everyone soon!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Enjoy the Thanksgiving pictures we took while spending time with the Schultz's, Cornell's, Foster's, DeCarlo's and Spencer's at dinner.

"Mmmmm, turkey"Mommy and Kai right before dinner
Gabrielle saying our before dinner prayer
Daddy and Kai enjoying a turkey drumstick together
Isn't she beautiful? And 9 months pregnant, too.
Kai and aunt Mary reading together. If you look closely, uncle Mike is in the picture, too, asleep. And you can see, he never spilled the beer in his hand!!!!!
Kai playing with cousin Brandon

Grandma and Grandpa taking care of their grandson. "Blow your nose, Kai."
And we actually took some pics of the adults, too! Lori and Mikey
Patty and Lori
Dan and Mike
Mark and Kristina
Thanksgiving morning, Kai doing his morning stretches
This could actually be the last picture taken of the family as we know it (minus Casey, she was home catching up on her sleep.) Kai's sister should be coming along any minute now!
Daddy and Kai out playing in the rain
You can see, he fell a few times running through the puddles. Isn't this how we should cure his cold?

Here he is sprinting through the puddles. We had to buy these boots for him so he could run through them, since he was doing it anyway in his regular shoes and always getting his feet soaked!
Lounging in his wagon, with his head on a ball, in his wagon. What a life!

November already??? Only a few weeks to go!

Well, only a few weeks until Kai has a baby sister to play around with! Hopefully, he can tell the difference between her and his soccer balls when she is laying on the floor! Although, I don't want to hinder the great work we have done so far with his game, as you'll see from the soccer pics below. The next time I post, I'll probably be posting of our newest addition. Oh my, what are we in for!!!

Kai blowing bubbles outside in the rain. Rain or shine, the boy loves to be outside!
The family at a NPR function in Philly. We just had to go because Kai's favorite character in the whole world was going to be there
You want me to put this on my head"
"OK"
Kai and mommy with Elmo, Cookie Monster and Abby Cadabby. Kai just loves Elmo; he goes to sleep hugging a big stuffed Elmo (about as big as he is) every night. So we just had to go see them when we heard they were going to be downtown.
At his first concert, trying to get mommy into the mosh pit
One of his favorite things, watching Sesame Street on the computer. He's a whiz at slamming the keyboard!

Out of gas
"Oh yeah, it is much easier to ride it than to push it. Good idea, dad!"
Hanging outside before bed
Action shot: The no-look shot. The kid is good!
He needs some teammates!
Is he possibly a goalie???
Have fun at the playground

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Happy Halloween from our little Tiger! Kai was a tiger for Halloween, scary isn't he! He got dressed up and went to his grandparents house, but it was just a normal day for him, smiling and playing with everyone. Enjoy the pics, hope everyone is well.
