Kyle the Bruiser

Hola amigos, Cameron and Kyle here. We've been watching lots of Dora lately as that is Kyle's latest obsession hence the Spanish. We've been keeping ourselves busy during this long cold winter. Check out some of our latest art work in the photo above.

Daddy had off of work on MLK day so it was nice to spend a long weekend with him and mommy. We didn't really do too much - just some shopping for the bathroom remodel and some new appliances. Our dryer finally gave out and died on us and the washer was close behind. Mommy was very happy to have something that worked and will hopefully save us some money.

On Tuesday we watched all the inauguration events for President Obama. Kyle loved chanting "Obama, Obama, Obama..." and Cameron was very interested in learning more about all the days events and history. What an amazing day!

We had a big scare on Wednesday. Kyle was rough housing and hurt his left arm. He was in such pain and would not move his arm so we rushed him to the doctor to see if he broke his arm. Cameron and his friend Charlie (who mommy babysits) were such good helpers during all the activities. Dr. Stang examined Kyle. He had three x-rays to his wrist area. The doctor couldn't be sure about a break so we put his arm in a splint and had a specialist read the x-rays later that day. Mommy and daddy were very relieved to hear that his arm was not broken. But Kyle still wasn't moving his arm and cried alot so he wasn't out of the woods. After a good night's sleep Kyle was moving his arm and so much happier. Kyle decided he had enough of the splint on Thursday and took it off himself and proclaimed "See all better". He was then back to his old bouncing off the walls self.

Thursday we had mommy's friend Rochelle and two of her children over for a playdate. Cameron really enjoyed playing with Adam who is four. And Kyle liked to watch 1.5 year old Katie play while he hung onto mommy since he was being shy.

Brrr, its cold!

Baby its cold outside. Its now 21 below zero right now. We are having an indoor day and currently enjoying the movie CARS. The last few weeks have been good. We have spent a lot of time with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Al lately.

Mommy and daddy had to get their fingerprints taken for the USCIS to process their I600A application for the adoption. The agent said mommy's fingertips were worn so she might have to have her prints redone. Too much washing dishes, cleaning and changing diapers according to mommy. We stayed with grandma and grandpa while they had this done.

A few days later we went up to Albany with mommy to stay at grandma and grandpa's house. We had a fun few days there. We played lots of card games, put together a big puzzle, and went sledding. This was Kyle's first time sledding and he loved it.

Then a few days after this grandma and grandpa came back down to our house. They went to look at houses with Uncle Dan and Tina. Mommy tagged along too. She said it was a fun day since she loves looking at houses...might be a good career for her once we are all in school.

Cameron finally started back to school after a long three week break. He is happy to be back and to have Charlie at our house in the mornings.

Hope you enjoy the photos of us at Christmas with our loving families.

Happy 2009!

Happy New Year and welcome to the year 2009. We celebrated with mommy and daddy last night by ringing in the New Year early at 6 PM (this is when London's clocks strike midnight). We drank soda from wine glasses and had noise makers and danced. It was very fun.

Grandma Maggie and Grandpa Bill left yesterday to drive to New Mexico to visit Uncle John, Aunt Ali and cousin Maddox. They are driving there and made it all the way to Cameron, MO yesterday. We will miss them.

A few days ago we went to Como Zoo and Conservatory. We had a great time seeing all the pretty flowers and a few of the animals. Our favorite is the monkeys. They are so cute and funny. Hope you like the photo of us posing at the Conservatory. We also went out for dinner with everyone to Panino's in North Oaks. It was very yummy and we would highly recommend it.

Well off to do some wrestle time with daddy. Happy 2009!
